That would make her day. hell ya send her one.

Is it appropriate to send a mothers day card to a person who has no living children?
Me personally I would not do that. It may bring up bad feelings for that person or make them recall why they do not have their children. You can however, send a "thinking of you card" instead. It will still show you care and yet should not bring up any bad memories or feelings.





Though the offset to this is, if a person has been a mother figure to you... yes most definately! Just make sure to tell them how much you appreciate them acting like your mother.
Reply:No, it will make her sad.
Reply:Once a mother always a mother
Reply:I think this would be a wonderful thing to do! Just because her children are no longer living, that does not mean she is not a mother. I'm sure mother's day is a tough day for her...it's nice to let her know she still counts. Bravo!
Reply:If she has no children and is not mothering then who would be sending her a card?


If you want to thank her for being like a mum to you or something, just send her a little thankyou card on mothers day NOT A MOTHERS DAY CARD


that might just make her upset.
Reply:yes. of course. that would be very sweet of you
Reply:I think it would be a truly lovely thing to do. You must be a very sweet person.
Reply:Great answers. I think that it would be very thoughtful and caring if you did. :)
Reply:The context is not clear, but as long as the person has been a mother. Might be a bit unsubtle if children are all deceased.
Reply:Uh, it would have been better if you'd given the relevant information: who is this person to you?





If the person is a mother to you in some way, then, yes, I think it's appropriate. (My mother gets such acknowledgment from an ex of my brother's who "adopted" her, so to speak.)





If you think it would be hurtful, then maybe a neutral card (that is, not a mother's day card, but a "thinking of you" or some such card), where you write some nice message would be better.





You say "living" -- is this a recent bereavement?
Reply:I don't think that is the appropriate thing to do because it will only remind them of what they don't have.
Reply:No card, but send flowers that say something like:





"Remembering you on this very special day."





it works everytime.
Reply:I think it will be appropriate...get a card that goes with her specific situation...
Reply:You know, I would have thought you shouldn't do it because it might sadden the mother but many people on here said you should do it and it would be a nice thing. So that is interesting.
Reply:Only you know. She might find it heartwarming and it might make her day; on the other hand, she might miss her deceased kids terribly and just be hurt by it.





To err on the side of caution, I wouldn't personally do it.
Reply:Yes , Once a mommy , always a mommy !
Reply:Yes, I think that's just weird.
