Memories are a way to continue loving and honoring someone even after they are gone. Remember the fond memories you shared with your loved one by personalizing and flying a kite in their honor.

A Mother's Chorus: Grieving a Child on Mother's Day

My grief is like the weather. Somedays it’s calm, quiet, maybe even a little sunny. Other days it’s a devastating storm that makes me feel angry, exhausted, raw, and empty. I wake up in the morning and wonder – "Am I even alive at all? And if so, how am I supposed to make it through this day?"

05/07/2026

Grief is a powerful and intimate experience that is unique to each person. So too, is poetry. For thousands of years, humans have explored grief and loss through poetry and writing. Within the creativity, fluidity, a variety of form, metaphor, and word play, we can find catharsis and rich understand...

If you're scrolling through Mother's Day posts on social media and feeling the weight of your absence, that's okay.

You don't have to participate. You don't have to post. You don't have to pretend this day feels the way it's supposed to feel.

Your grief is valid. Your loss is real. And you're not alone in finding this holiday difficult.

This Mother's Day, Hope Edelman and I want to talk about what that's actually like. Why this day can be so hard. Why your grief matters even when everyone else is celebrating.

❤️ No matter how long ago your mother died, she’s still and always will be your mom. ❤️

Mother's Day can bring up all kinds of feels: love, longing, sadness, loneliness, envy, anger, gratitude, confusion -- sometimes all at the same time.

Society doesn’t create a place to honor mothers who are no longer living. So we make space for all of them, every year, on an annual FREE Mother's Day for motherless daughters call.

It’s a time for daughters all over the world to gather in sisterhood and solidarity to remember our moms together. Last year’s call included nearly 500 women from dozens of countries. It was incredible!

This year, we hope you’ll join us for an hour on Saturday, May 9, at 10 am PT/1 pm ET for “Forever Our Moms,” a virtual, Mother’s Day weekend Zoom call.

Hosted by , , , and , the call will celebrate and honor the mothers we remember, the mothers we miss, and the mothers whose love continues to sustain us.

The 60-minute call will include:

• Hope’s annual Mother’s Day Letter to Motherless Daughters;
• Claire’s ideas for honoring a mom on this weekend;
• Angela’s techniques to stay balanced, calm, and emotionally regulated through grief;
• Ace’s group Gratitude Meditation to center and soothe your heart;
• Jeri’s blessing and toast to our moms (feel free to light your own candle!);
• A commitment to self-nurturing and honoring your own needs this weekend;
• Our signature Circle of Remembrance (a virtual circle, holding hands around the world)

It’s a time to sit back, exhale, and give yourself permission to feel the love that endures. ❤️
