Mother's Day has passed, but pop diva Kuh Ledesma believes that we should celebrate Mother's Day every day.
"One of God’s greatest blessings is the love of a mother for her child. It is selfless. It is enduring. A mother is willing to sacrifice without expecting anything in return. She forgives without hesitation and prays constantly for her child," said Kuh as she prepares for a special post-Mother’s Day celebration, "Mamma Mia," at the Hacienda Isabella on May 31.
Kuh believes that a mother’s love is steadfast, especially when life becomes messy. It doesn’t give up, it doesn’t give in—it continues to hope and believe even when others no longer do. It is a love that stands the test of time, just like the bond between Kuh and her daughter, Isabella.
Kuh revealed that their journey hasn’t always been easy, adding that deep personal challenges marked the years.
It came as an unexpected blow when Kuh’s marriage fell apart—a painful and turbulent season that deeply affected Isabella.
The trauma of witnessing her parents’ separation, twice, left lasting emotional and mental wounds. The mental anguish was further aggravated by prescribed psychotropic medication, which Isabella took for years.
Kuh said that it took time, faith, learning from the experiences of others with the same challenges who had overcome similar situations, and biblical counseling to realize that true healing would not come from medicine alone.
It was through Kuh’s unwavering relationship with Jesus Christ that she found the strength to see her daughter through.
She would not believe that the psychotropic drugs were the solution to Isabella's healing, but in the power of prayer and holding on to the promises of God and God's faithfulness, and most of all, in Isabella's obedience to the word of God.
Kuh remained steadfast, prayerful, and immovable."It was in those hardest months that her love for Isabella proved deepest. In meals prepared with care, in conversations filled with God's word, in prayers—countless, unrelenting prayers," she said.
But most of all, in her decision to stay and endure the process and not let the psychotropic drugs and psychiatrists handle the situation, walking away would have been easier, but not beneficial. "And without a doubt, believing that God can do the impossible and that God is the true healer."
Today, Kuh continues to minister to other parents going through the same trials, offering comfort, wisdom, and the reminder that they are not alone. "That healing is possible. That God is very able."
"And by God's grace, after a long break, Isabella is once again sharing her incredible talent through her music and her art," Kuh added.
With her recent very successful concert and return to the recording studio, Isabella isn’t just going back to what she used to do—she’s stepping into a new chapter with a deeper purpose, becoming who God designed her to be and using her God-given talent to the fullest.
Kuh also believes that there is no shame in sharing their story. "The process was not simple, but it was God's plan and purpose for both of them to learn how healing happens and how God can use their experience to encourage others who are going through similar challenges."
She believes in Isabella's tremendous talent in singing, thus she continues to mount concerts to encourage Isabella and unashamedly asks for the support of friends and family.
Behind that, moving up and moving forward is Kuh—the mother whose perseverance, relentless prayers, and unshakable faith have been the anchor. "Sometimes with force, sometimes with tears, but always with hope. Always with love."
Citing 1 Corinthians 13:70-8, Kuh mentioned: "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.”
Catch this mother-daughter tandem in a very special post-Mother’s Day celebration, "Mamma Mia," at the Hacienda Isabella on May 31, 2025. Dinner at 6 pm/show at 8 pm/ snacks follow after the concert.
