A mother’s grief is unlike any other.
Her care should be, too.
Grieving Hearts
Welcome to Our Website
If you are a mother who has lost a child,
we are deeply sorry.
We understand your pain.
​
We hope you find something here that helps you.​​
​
There is no single path through the loss of a child.
Our grief is immeasurable, and the journey forward is deeply personal.
You are welcome here, exactly as you are.
Who We Are
We are mothers who have endured the horrific loss of a child. We know firsthand the painful gap in support that exists for grieving moms. We are determined to ensure that every mother who comes to us receives the care, understanding, and resources we never had. We are here for them—fully and wholeheartedly.
Why We Are Here
After losing a child, mothers often feel profoundly lost and alone - despite the love and support that surround them.
​
Losing her child can disrupt her purpose, identity, and view of life.
The changes are not only emotional. They occur physiologically, neurologically, and psychologically.
​Now she is at significantly higher risk of mental illness, early death, divorce, and suicide.
With only 3–5 days of paid bereavement leave, countless mothers lose their pay, benefits, and even their jobs. It happens regardless of whether the father is present, whether she has other children at home, or the depth of the trauma she is in. We know—because it happened to us, too.
Her grief is "shadow grief" - a loss that never leaves her. Its intensity will come in waves for the rest of her life.​
Her experience is often misunderstood, and well-intended words offered to her can cause more pain.​
​Most grief supports and resources serve all types of grievers. But losing a child is profoundly different than losing a spouse, a sibling, or a parent. When she attends, she can still feel alone.​​​​​​​​​​​
​
The greatest help often comes from another grieving mother - yet we are invisible to each other.

How We Help
Through outreach to find other mothers, through first-hand experience offering understanding and care, through providing financial support when mothers are at their lowest, and through raising public awareness to support bereavement-leave reform…
perhaps—just perhaps—we can begin to turn this around.
