"In times of trouble, there is no substitute for the sound of your mom's voice." University of Wisconsin study.
Lovely to hear, but - what if we no longer have a living mother? Or, what if the person for whom you provide care is your mother, and she is no longer the mother who comforts you? Then, we need to find other ways to comfort ourselves. Rest, recreation, healthy social connections, exercise, respite. Perhaps we can be the mother our children call for the boost in their feel-good hormone oxytocin; but for our own boost we will need to be more creative. What comforts you?
