Mother's Day. Believe it or not it's a holiday that is not without controversy. Those who love it see it as a day set aside to honor their mother and the mother's in their life. For others it is a painful day filled with disappointment and grief. For single mom's its rarely a day to relax and reflect. In fact, it's often just another day. For those who have lost their mother it's a day of reflection but also of pain as the grief takes over.

On this Mother's Day three mothers, USA Today's Connie Schultz, Shannon Rae Green and Ashley May, discuss love, loss, motherhood, and Mother's Day.
