Two mothers who have tragically lost their children in car accidents have urged drivers to slow down and be mindful on the road.

Estlin Wall (three) and Martin Ginnelly (21) were both killed in separate road traffic collision in the past six years, and their mothers want to stop to the needless devastation wreaked on families by road deaths.

Martin’s mother Caroline has not missed a day visiting her son’s grave since he was killed when the car in which he was a passenger was involved in a single-vehicle collision just five minutes from his home at Gibbstown, Co Meath in July 2018.

Ms Ginnelly said the pain of losing her son has not eased, but she no longer expects him to walk in her door to hug her or to ring her to find out what’s for dinner.

“I was 60 on Wednesday, and it should have been a very happy occasion, but Martin was missing and each year feels like I’m leaving him further behind,” she said.

“He rang me several times a day and gave me a load of hugs and I miss that.

Pat, Martin and Caroline Ginnelly.

“When the garda told us Martin was dead that day, my life and my whole world collapsed before me. He’s my baby, he was only 21, he shouldn’t have been killed.

“I have been at his grave every day since he died. If I have to go to visit family in Mayo, I visit before I go and then the next day when we get home. I haven’t been away longer than that,” she said.

“So many people have been killed needlessly on the roads. Life is precious. Cars are not toys, they can be weapons.

“Drivers need to slow down and concentrate on the roads. How many times have you driven on a road, preoccupied with other stuff in your head, and actually couldn’t remember driving that stretch?

“Too many cars have hands-free options now, but I still see drivers on their mobile phones every day. And a quick glance at a text message while driving may mean you never get to answer it,” Ms Ginnelly added.

“A split second, a lapse of concentration or a stray glance can leave some other family, like us, in a living hell struggling to ever fully accept that they are never coming home again.”

Responsibility

Estlin’s mother, Amy Dutil Wall has called for drivers to take more personal responsibility on the roads to prevent other families facing a groundhog day future of reliving the tragedy over and over.

Estlin, from Ennistymon, Co Clare, was just nine days short of her fourth birthday when she was killed in a crash in March 2017 as her father was driving her to creche. Her father Vincent suffered a brain injury in the collision.

“I think all drivers need to take personal responsibility when on the roads,” she said

“It’s very easy to reduce speed limits but in some cases, lack of speed is as much a cause as too much speed as it causes frustration and impatience to other drivers following a slow-moving vehicle and makes them take dangerous chances to overtake.

“I saw an argument that Ireland has a lower death rate on the roads than other countries, but there should be no acceptable number for deaths on the roads. It should never be ‘not too bad’,” Ms Dutil Wall said.

“Behind every number, every statistic, is a loved one and a family whose life has also been ended to different degrees. Behind every statistic, there could also be a survivor who, like Vincent, is living with life-changing injuries.

“A life of what could have beens is not a full life,” she said.

She also called for a look at a current programme in her native US where a sensor is installed in cars to monitor their driving habits.

“This sensor monitors speed, brake control and all driving habits and sends a report to your phone at the end of each drive, rating how safe you were driving. The results can lead to lower insurance premiums.

“People love getting good reports, so this could be one that would encourage drivers to want to improve their skills and save money, instead of costing them more with additional penalty points.”

The mental health and sleep quality of mothers of children with mild atopic dermatitis (AD) improved significantly after treatment, according to a study published in the Journal of Asthma and Allergy.

Several past studies have focused on the physical and mental symptoms of children with moderate-to-severe AD before and after treatment. The researchers noted that the health and growth of children with AD are “strongly influenced by the physical and psychosocial situations of their parents.” Therefore, the sleep quality and mental state of the patients’ mothers should also be considered.

Consequently, they analyzed a population of randomly contacted preschool children with AD of varying severity and their mothers from the Second Affiliated Hospital and Yuying Children’s Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, both of which are in China. Eligible parent-children dyads consisted of children between 1 month and 5 years of age with mothers as their primary caregivers, who accompanied them during sleep. Additional criteria included the children having existing AD based on diagnostic criteria and the mothers having no chronic or psychological diseases.

In total, 120 parent-children dyads enrolled in the study, 90 of which had mild-to-severe AD. The researchers divided the 90 parent-children dyads into 3 groups according to AD severity. Consequently, the remaining 30 children in the study population were considered the healthy control group as they did not have AD or a history of personal or family atopic diseases.

The researchers conducted the study between July 2019 and January 2021 and used scales to assess specific anxiety and depression levels and sleep disorders in the mothers before and after the standard treatment of their children. The mothers’ psychological status and sleep quality were assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD-A and HAD-D) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively, before and after 1 month of comprehensive treatment of their children.

Overall, the researchers found that the mothers of children with severe AD had their mental health and sleep qualities most affected before treatment. After treatment, the mental health and sleep quality of mothers in the mild AD group improved significantly, while those of mothers in the moderate and severe AD groups only showed some improvement.

As for the anxiety and depression scores for the children’s mothers, there was a statistically significant difference in the subscale scores among the 4 groups before treatment (P < .05), the anxiety scores of mothers with children in the 3 AD groups being significantly higher than those of mothers with children in the healthy control group (P < .05). Before treatment, only the depression scores of mothers with children in the moderate and severe AD groups were significantly higher than those of the healthy control group (P < .05).

After treatment, the mothers’ HAD-A scores significantly decreased in all 3 AD groups (P < .05), while the HAD-D scores only significantly decreased in the mild and moderate AD groups (P < .05).

In terms of sleep quality, there was a statistically significant difference in the total PSQI scores among the 4 groups of mothers before treatment (P < .05). Also, the total PSQI scores of the mothers with children in the 3 AD groups were higher than those with children in the control group (P < .05). The researchers found that only mothers with children in the mild AD group showed decreased PSQI scores after treatment (P < .05), meaning their sleep quality increased; they did not find significant differences among the other groups.

The researchers acknowledged several limitations to their study, one being that the study mainly explored the psychological wellbeing of mothers of children with AD, which may be affected by outside factors, like family situation and social environment. Also, the study was subjective, so respondents may have had some bias in the questionnaires.

Despite these limitations, the researchers noted that their findings can help develop interventions that allow mothers of children with AD to maintain a healthy and stable mindset during their child’s long-term treatment “to improve the quality of life of affected children and their families.”

“This study reminds clinicians to pay attention to the psychology and sleep quality of caregivers while treating children with AD,” the authors concluded.

Yoga instructor Caleen Caseryn Chua has a thing for calmness and positive energy. She believes that both are necessary reset strategies in a modern life that is chaotic and overwhelming.

After relinquishing her F&B business, Chua, 35, is now a yoga and mindfulness coach who hopes to guide women to focus and pay attention to their inner needs and cultivate tenacity.

Yoga, Chua says, has helped her achieve a physical and mental wellness balance that she lacked before.“The traditional view is still that mothers stay home and sacrifice for their children, but who will take care of them when they perform their duties as mothers?” she asks.

Three years ago, she launched Yoga for Mums, a programme for women to help them experience a change through yoga and mindfulness.

“With a stronger, more resilient mind, they are able to find inner peace and ways to manage their negative emotions from life’s pressures,” she says.

She pays special attention to women who are neglected while fulfilling their motherhood duties.

“These women often experience emotional neglect, even depression, while taking care of their children and families. I hope to play a role as a guide for women to achieve emotional satisfaction through mindfulness,” she adds.

Bouncing back

Yoga is not new to Chua as she has been practising it since she was 18. She studied finance, and has worked as a business analyst as well as managed restaurants. Her working life was hectic, with long working days, and she fell into a period of depression.

Four months after giving birth, a physical examination showed an ovarian cyst and Chua was overwhelmed and worried. “Who would look after my young child if I don’t survive?” she would often ask herself.

Chua says after her health scare, she vowed to use her skills and energy to help others.It was during that period that she decided that if the operation to remove her cyst was successful, she would focus her efforts on giving something positive to society. And that was how her programme came about.

“I just never imagined that I would come full circle and go back to yoga and mindfulness, but here I am. Yoga has been very helpful to me. It allowed me to connect with myself, gave me space to learn and grow, and made me calmer and more focused.

“I think it’s very important to empower mothers and keep them mentally healthy and strong so they too, feel valued and cared for. Mothers use a lot of their energy to raise their children and take care of their families, and to create a family atmosphere full of positive energy and develop positive attitude towards life.”

Regaining body confidence

Chua says many mothers have body confidence issues postpartum, and she is no exception. She set the goal of regaining her figure and strength by combining high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and yoga three times a week. She regularly shares her progress on social media to encourage other postpartum mothers.

“Even if women feel that they are fatter or weaker after giving birth, they should not give up on themselves. There is hope and possibility to become their best selves again.”

She believes that it is very important for mothers to have a positive attitude.

“If they are not determined or do not have a positive mindset, then any coaching will be in vain. The biggest challenge I face as a yoga and mindfulness coach is negative mentality. If individuals can change their negative mentality, they can achieve so much more,” she says.

Currently, her Mind and Body Transformation Programme has trained more than 120 students, 95% of whom are mothers.

On top of mindfulness, postpartum mothers should also eat well, including having enough protein and other important nutrients, especially during breastfeeding period.

Chua hopes to empower more mothers, especially in South-East Asia, and wants to build a community where women can support each other with annual retreats and mind and body transformation events.

“Despite the global narrative of women empowerment and gender equality, I feel that in South-East Asia, the traditional thinking that a mother gives her all for her children and family still prevails.

“Women should also be in a supportive community to share experiences, encourage one another and discover new ideas. I hope that programmes such as this can open doors for mothers to be their best,” she concludes.

Welcome to a journey that celebrates the vital role of self-care in the lives of modern mothers and its profound impact on their mental health. Motherhood is a beautiful and fulfilling journey, but it can also be demanding and overwhelming. “Young mothers often ask me how they can be more present at home, less temperamental and more calm in their everyday lives. Raising a child is one of the most demanding jobs in the world, it requires your undivided attention every single day. And it can be very easy to get lost in an endless list of tasks, errands, housework and kid’s activities, especially if you are also balancing a career outside the home,” says Radhika Iyer, Founder of Anahata Organic, an Entrepreneur, Yogini, Mountaineer and Philanthropist. (Also read: Mother’s Day 2023: Self-care tips for working moms to prevent burnout )

She added, “With so much time devoted to caring for one’s family, exhaustion can set in and finding time for self-care will probably be the first thing left out of your busy schedule. Very often, women have been raised with the belief that they must care for others before their own self. That somehow, self-sacrifice makes for a “good” mother. I am a mother to 3 wonderful children and I have found the opposite of this to be true. In fact, as soon as I prioritize my happiness and made sure to take care of my own mental, physical and emotional health first; I became a better, more present, patient and understanding mother.”

“If you are experiencing exhaustion and burnout just managing the whole world out there, I have one request: promise that you, starting now, will take out time to take care of yourself. Research now clearly shows that self-care for a mother upgrades her value, which in return boosts self-worth and self-esteem. Follow these simple rituals to find your true value as an individual first and a mother next. Do not think of spending some alone time for yourself as being selfish or self-indulgent. Prioritizing yourself will impact your overall well-being helping you find calmness within,” says Radhika.

1. Feed your curiosity

Read, learn a new skill, chase a hobby, practice yoga, and learn a new cuisine. Whatever makes you curious about life, give time to that activity. Following your curiosity will give you a new perspective, empower you and open up opportunities in life. Not to mention, these few hours once or twice a week are all yours. These activities are known to release endorphins in your brain that will keep you feeling healthy mentally and physically.

2. Spend time by yourself

You might be reading this and thinking it’s impossible. But you don’t have to start off by doing this every day. Start once a week, and then twice and so on. Go for a walk, listen to music, meditate, pamper yourself, and go for a run. The more you take time for yourself, the more you will learn to enjoy your own company. I have found that knowing I like to be by myself made me more independent and unafraid to speak my mind.

3. Self-reflect

I highly recommend journaling and meditation. Keep a diary, write down your thoughts on paper and look for the lesson in what you are going through. Journaling is like lending yourself the advice you give to others. As a yoga teacher, I have spent years witnessing the miracle meditation can bring into people’s lives. Don’t underestimate the power of 10 minutes of silence. Find a comfortable spot, sit straight, close your eyes and start the practice of meditation and relentlessly do this every single day.

4. Seek help from your loved ones

Not everyone has the support of a partner or family. But there definitely exist friends who can offer childcare help once in a while. Seek help so that they can step in to give you a break once in a while. Also, be vocal about your needs with your partner and learn to share responsibilities. This way, you have some more time to yourself which in turn will help you build and maintain meaningful relationships.

5. Get active

It might be the last thing you feel like doing at the time, but exercise has countless benefits both for the mind and body. Your body needs to move to stay healthy and strong. It gives you more energy as you age. The mind benefits greatly from movement too. It refreshes the brain, elevates your mood and makes you experience this unique sense of accomplishment. When you work out, you will Improve your physical health greatly. This will help you remain strong throughout your future life.

“Remember that the most important components of self-care are to be realistic and purposeful. If your schedule is hectic and chaotic, it may not be realistic to expect hours a week to focus on self-care activities. Start small with attainable expectations. Be compassionate with yourself. Know that striking a balance can take time and a lot of conscious effort in the beginning. And above all, do it for you. So that you can live a happy, healthy and present life,” concludes Radhika Iyer.

Bringing her expertise to the same, Shivani Kudva, Certified Positive Discipline Educator and Coach, shares with HT Lifestyle, some simple yet relaxing ideas to honour the mother in you.

1. Spa session: Pamper yourself with a relaxing, dim light, soft music massage that allows your senses to soothe and charge. It is really, deeply relaxing to let go of some meals, some clothes to be washed and some dishes to be done!

2. Brunch: Go for brunch with your bestie without the kids and hubby. Enjoy some hours of good food, good drinks and talk therapy.

3. Staycation: Not a vacation since you need to pack for a vacation! Go to a nearby good hotel for a staycation and let the kids chill with hubby while you take a dip in the pool or enjoy a good drink.

4. Friends’ day out: Call your mommy friends and go out for a good movie with some good food. Movies are highly detoxing and take you away from reality to fun fantasy.

5. Retail therapy: Is anything better than this?! Go do some shopping for yourself and not shop for the children this time.Do not shop online lest you may not enjoy it that much. Go out alone in the malls without running around children for once or spending most of the time in the baby room.

6. Call for meals: Pampering need not come at an exorbitant cost. Call for all meals for the day from outside or even ask your mom to send it in she’d be more than happy to see her daughter smile. Don’t forget to send her a bunch of flowers and goodies too. Take the day off from the kitchen.

7. Salon session: Get those nails and the new haircut you longed for. There’s something about the fresh blow-dried hairstyle. Count on the extra smiles and looks from the husband

The post Essential self-care ideas for modern mothers to prioritise mental health | Health appeared first on Minds Valley.

For most of her adult life, Amber Rayoni was indifferent about many things, including Mother’s Day.

The 35-year-old, a native of Uniontown, was caught in a cycle of addiction ― including pills, powdered cocaine and crack cocaine ― that undermined her ability to be an effective and nurturing parent. 

Rayoni, who has four children, endured a number of failed relationships.

And while struggling with her own mental health, Rayoni was often wracked with anxiety and self-doubt that stunted ambition and fed her self-destructive dependencies.

“I started using when I was 14. I went to several rehabs. And by 2017 my life completely got turned upside down,” said Rayoni, a former restaurant worker and trainer. 

“I gave up my kids to my family, and my family didn’t want anything to do with me because I was using heavily and I just wouldn’t stop,” Rayoni said. “I lost my apartment and I lost my car and I was lost.

“Growing up in my family, Mother’s Day was a big deal because my mom was a supporter. We always tried to make Mother’s Day special for her,” Rayoni said.

“But I didn’t celebrate Mother’s Day myself because I didn’t feel like I deserved to,” she said. “I hadn’t been a mother. I was all about myself.”

‘Learning how to be a grown-up’

On this Mother’s Day, Rayoni has plenty to celebrate.

She has been sober for 19 months.

Rayoni and two of her children, nearly 1-year-old Legynd and 9-year-old Elijah, live in a new, furnished two-bedroom apartment at the Mercy Anchor Community Center, located at the former Holy Rosary School building at 1012 E. 28th St.

The transitional housing complex, which opened in March, was created by the Mercy Center For Women, an Erie nonprofit that provides transitional housing for homeless women and children who have been affected by adversities such as substance abuse and domestic violence.

Each of the fully furnished apartments features a kitchen, full bath, stackable washer and dryer and other amenities.

Tenants pay varying rents based on their income and the government assistance they receive, and they must abstain from using alcohol and drugs, unless prescribed by a physician.

Any violation results in the immediate termination of a tenant’s lease agreements.

“I’ve learned so much living here,” Rayoni said. “I take parenting classes and we have (Narcotics Anonymous) meetings here. I cook dinner at night in an apartment that’s brand new, and I’ve never lived in a place this nice before.

“I have structure for the first time,” Rayoni said. “I’m learning how to be a grown-up. I love it here.”

Rayoni is working to rebuild her relationships with her two other children, 12-year-old Josiah and Sincere, 10, who currently live with relatives in Uniontown, which is roughly 45 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in Fayette County.

“I caused a lot of pain in my kids’ lives by not being there for them,” Rayoni said. “That was my rock bottom. But they are also my motivation to stay clean and be better.”

Rayoni is currently unemployed, but she is working to forge a career as an addiction counselor/specialist.

“It took me a long time to want to stay clean. Now I want to help people stay clean,” Rayoni said. “I feel like if I can do it after using drugs for 15 years, anyone can if they are motivated right.”

Growth and recovery

Jennie Hagerty, the Mercy Center’s executive director, has witnessed Rayoni’s personal development and resolve firsthand, fueled by a desire to be better for her children.

Rayoni came to Erie in 2020 via referrals from mental health professionals in Fayette and Washington counties after learning she was pregnant with Legynd, who was born in May 2022.

She spent time in other Erie-based treatment programs before moving into the Mercy Anchor Community Center in April.

“Her growth in her recovery stands out,” Hagerty said. “She has gratitude and appreciation now for the gifts that she has been given, primarily her children, and this opportunity to get clean.”

Hagerty pointed out that Rayoni spearheaded efforts to bring Narcotics Anonymous meetings to the new center.

Those weekly meetings are open to anyone in the Erie community.

“Amber was the catalyst behind having those meetings here, and making sure that the clients are active participants in them,” Hagerty said. “That says a lot about her.”

Hagerty said Rayoni’s self-improvement work has special resonance in regards to Mother’s Day.

“When you think about Mother’s Day for the women and children we serve here, it’s more about celebrating good family relationships and being able to have that in a safe and secure place,” Hagerty said.

“Although flowers and chocolates and brunches are beautiful things to do to honor your mother,” Hagerty said, “the best thing you can do is find and prioritize time as a family to be together. And that’s what we help our clients do here.”

Rayoni said she hopes to start a recovery center of her own someday that assists women and children affected by drug and alcohol addiction.

She also wants to buy her own house in the next few years and have all four of her children living under the same roof.

On Sunday, Rayoni plans to attend a Mother’s Day breakfast at the Mercy Anchor Community Center, an event that in many ways signifies both how far she’s come and the help she’s received.

“You can always work to be a better mother and I really know now that it’s never too late,” Rayoni said. “I lost a lot of time. But now I know my worth. I can be someone my kids respect and appreciate.”

Mother’s Day At Lifestyle@SSS

Take your mother or bond with your children at Lifestyle@SingSeeSoon’s Experiences which feature a variety of activities and curated workshops that are created to empower and enrich relationships while also providing a zen oasis to give guests time to relax amid the wonders of nature.

We had the opportunity to sample some of the activities within the “Mummy & Me Experiences” and had a delightful afternoon weaving floral crowns, crafting a healthy bouquet of edible greens and painting our own tote bags!

Floral Crown Workshop

A lovely outdoor activity we first tried was making our own floral crowns from fresh blooms which only took minutes to weave together with rustic wires and tape, once you get the hang of it!

The fragrance of fresh flowers and eucalyptus leaves which smell wonderful, were a pleasure to work with and many of us wore our beautiful crowns immediately.  The facilitator also provided instructions on how to care for our crowns ensure the florals last a few days. 

We brought our fresh flower crowns back to brighten our home as table decoration and door wreath.

Edible Bouquet Craft

Guided by Gracelyn Lin, CEO of Lifestyle@SingSeeSoon who threw in useful green tips, and tricks on texture, form and binding, we were taught how to craft our very own edible bouquet. 

It was fun harvesting our own edible herbs and vegetables to put together a veritable artistic arrangement.  

We gathered delicate sprigs of mint leaves and curly English parsley, clustered crisp lettuce as foliage, braided spring onion stems and framed our bouquets with celery stalks.  

Leafy greens are packed with high fibre and as nutrient-rich superfoods, this is one healthy  and deliciously fresh posy that you could bring home to eat, coupled with a sample salad dressing by Radio DJ and Cookbook Author Cheryl Miles! 

Tote Bag Art Jamming Painting with Drinks

Playing with layering, lines and spots, we painted our own colourful tote bags which could be used as recyclable carry-ons for sustainable shopping!

All art materials were provided and it was a fun free-style session with the kids being inspired to come up with their own design after a brief guidance by the facilitator.  They were super proud of their own characteristic creations! 

A selection of non-alcoholic beverages were provided on the side, or a glass of wine for adults who opted for it!
