Mother's Day is this weekend, which can be a time to celebrate the amazing mothers in our lives. 

But for some, it can be a difficult time, either no longer having their mother, or being estranged, or those for whom the dream of motherhood has not been realised. 

Author, social commentator, and university lecturer, Dr Rachel Matthews, joined Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons to discuss the future of Mother's Day.
