The Mother’s Anxiety

Change can trigger anxiety and uncertainty for some individuals, and the realization that one’s children are growing up and becoming independent can evoke feelings of sadness and anxiety. The emotional response to a child leaving home to gain independence is referred to as ’empty nest syndrome.’

Parents, especially moms, recall those days when they held their babies in their wombs, gave birth, and cuddled them in their arms for the first time. Those days of nostalgia have probably made this mom get this tattoo as a reminiscence.
