the other day i was thinking of how a friend of my grandmas lost her daughter in accident 10 years back, would it be politically correct to wish her a mothers day, because technically she is not a mother, she "was" a mother when she had a child, but since her daughter pass away she’s not the mother of anything anymore
I wouldn’t. Just because it might be something very sensitive to her. You wishing her a happy mother’s day could just stir up terrible memories. She might start crying. People never get over the loss of a kid and i don’t think it’s worth the risk of hurting her. Basically, by not wishing her a happy mother’s day no harm is done if you wish her a happy mothers day you could stir up some horrid emotions.

You can wish anyone a happy mothers day.She was and is the mother of her deceased daughter. No one can take out her being a mother because her only child died.

It depends on how she feels on the subject.

yes. she is still a mother on the inside.
She still has the memories of being a mother. I believe she would appreciate this because it means her daughter has never been forgotten.
