Excellent point. In fact, this is a big issue with the glorification of Mother's on this day IMO. In our last ward, the Bishop was extremely sensitive to this as they were never able to have children of their own. They had 3 adopted children by the time I knew them but he said that in the many years when they had no children, Mother's Day was absolute torture for his wife.
He made it a point to choose the speakers and/or special musical numbers, etc. very carefully for this reason.
