Tomorrow is a special day for me 🤍
It is a day to honour parents who’ve lost children — particularly mothers who may have experienced stillbirth, S.I.D.S, miscarriages, or other types of infant loss.
Motherhood is hard, even under normal circumstances. So, the pain of losing a baby is almost unimaginable. The sorrow endures over months, years, or a lifetime after. Even parenting a new baby later in life can be filled with anguish and guilt. Mother’s Day every year is complicated for grieving mothers who struggle on so many levels.....
An open expression of grief helps the healing process...
Today, mothers can reminisce, cry, or even share the dreams they had for their children. The day serves a dual purpose — a celebration of mothers and a remembrance for children gone too soon. The discomfort around notions of death can be stifling. Most people would prefer not to acknowledge the pain and run away from it. International Bereaved Mother’s Day hopes to dismantle the stigma. By sharing stories and grief, families can gradually transform pain into acceptance and ultimately some measure of peace.
