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 forever changed by the loss of a child. We know the effects from the gap in support for grieving moms—one often unseen by others. Our promise is simple: every mother who reaches us will receive the care, understanding, and resources we longed for. We are here —fully and wholeheartedly.
Why We Exist
All grief is difficult,
After losing a child, mothers often feel profoundly lost and alone—despite the love and support that may surround her.​
​
Her purpose, identity, and view of life can be shattered.
The changes are much more than emotional; she will be affected physiologically, neurologically, and psychologically.
​
She is suddenly at far greater 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 regardless of whether she is the head-of-household, has other children, or in the depth of her trauma. It happened to us.
​
Her grief is disenfranchised, shadow grief—because it is a loss that is most misunderstood and never leaves. It will return in waves for the rest of her life. There is no such thing as getting over it or moving on.​
​
Most grief resources serve all types of loss, and when she turns to these supports, she can still feel completely alone.
We are keenly aware, and the evidence shows, she needs her own type of support; and the greatest help often comes from another grieving mother. Tragically, we are invisible to each other.
What We Do
We provide specialized support and education, small-group healing activities, art-based therapy, and other comforting gatherings that provide connection, understanding, and opportunities to speak our child's name...
​
We actively reach out to let mothers know we are here, so no one walks through the darkest time alone…
​
​
We raise public awareness so our communities can better understand and support a mother’s grief...
​
Although some of us are clinicians, most are not. We are all mothers who've lost our child, in some cases, more than one, and we are walking this path together....
