If you know a bereaved mother, we’d like to share a few reminders to help you support her in thoughtful ways:

💬 Unless the mother has said otherwise, it’s okay to speak her child’s name. This welcomes reflection and acknowledges her relationship with her child.

🍱 To offer practical support, mention specific tasks rather than general platitudes. For example, try something like, “Can I bring you lunch today?” instead of, “Is there anything I can do for you?”

đź«‚ If the mother needs company or space to herself, honor her wishes.

To the bereaved mothers in our community, know our hearts are with you. We wish you a day of gentle memories and comfort. ❤️

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day can be tender for parents grieving the loss of a child. However you choose to observe these days, know this: your love endures, and your role as a parent is forever honored. 💙

Whether you find comfort through a cemetery visit, a personal tribute, or quiet reflection at home, there is no wrong way to remember. We are here to support you with compassion and care, on holidays and every day.
