A mother’s grief is unlike any other.
Her care should be, too.

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 may be shattered.
The changes are much more than emotional; she will be af 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 has a partner, other children, or the depth of trauma she is in. 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.
