About this Quote

This quote by Mercedes Ruehl talks to the profound change that motherhood can bring. Becoming a mother can bring about a heightened sense of empathy and compassion for the suffering of others, particularly children. In Ruehl's case, she experienced a physical response to news of kids being mistreated or maltreated, which recommends that her sensations of compassion and empathy had actually ended up being so strong that it was nearly as if she was experiencing the suffering of the kids herself. This quote talks to the power of motherhood and the strength of the bond between a mom and her child. It likewise acts as a reminder of the value of securing children from damage and guaranteeing that they are offered with a safe and nurturing environment.
