Grieving Hearts
​​​​​
A mother's grief is unlike any other.
Her care should be, too.
​
We walk beside mothers after the loss of a child,
​​
offering mother-to-mother, in-person and online group support, trauma-informed guidance,
and gentle healing experiences.​
​
So that no grieving mother has to feel alone.
​​​​
​
Who We Are
Rooted in Lived Experience. Guided with Care.
​​
Founded by
a bereaved mother and a Doctor of Psychology,
Grieving Hearts is a peer-based community of mothers that
brings together lived experience and professional insight.
​
Our board brings nonprofit, financial, and legal experience,
helping ensure this work is carried out with both compassion and responsibility.
​
We are also supported by a team of bereaved mothers
who help shape and support our programs,
keeping us grounded in what grieving mothers truly need.​​
Why We Exist
The loss of a child changes everything.​
​
It reaches into a mother’s body,
her daily life, her sense of who she is,
and her relationships.
​​
Many mothers feel deeply alone-
even when they are surrounded by people who love them.
​
​​They may feel misunderstood,
uncertain how to move through their days,
and overwhelmed by what is happening to them.​
Her grief tends to be traumatic grief.
​
While there are organizations that support grieving families,
a mother’s needs are not always fully seen,
understood, or truly supported. ​
Grieving Hearts exists
so that mothers can find each other,
be deeply understood,
and not have to carry this alone.
​​
​
How We Support Mothers
Groups and Mother-to-Mother Introductions
Guided support gatherings, online circles, and personal introductions with mothers who have experienced similar circumstances and deeply understand.
Healing Education
Gentle, trauma-informed guidance to help mothers make sense of grief's emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual impact.
Remembrance and Movement Experiences
Meaningful ways to express grief, honor their child, and carry love forward.
Practical Care in Overwhelming Moments
Compassionate support when a mother is facing urgent or especially difficult circumstances.
​​​
​​​​​​​​​​
​​ ​​​​​Why This Works
When a mother’s experience is named and understood,
something begins to shift.
What once felt confusing
begins to make sense.
​​
What felt isolating
becomes shared.
​​​
There is recognition.
Connection.
A sense of not being alone.

​​​​​​​​​​Already:
​​
740 individuals have visited this site directly.​​
53 mothers have joined our growing community​​
​21 mothers have engaged in creative and somatic experiences​
​​​
7 well-received no-cost events have been offered

​
We believe this is only the beginning.

Growing This Work
Grieving Hearts is currently volunteer-run
so that all funding can go directly to the care of mothers after childloss.
As more mothers find their way here,
we are working to sustain and expand what is already taking place.
Support allows us to:
• Continue offering programs at no cost to mothers
• Reach more mothers who are still navigating this loss alone
• Build the structure needed to responsibly support this growing work
• Move toward a more stable and centralized space for connection
​
​
​
If you are a grieving mother, we are here for you.
​
You are not alone.
​
If you would like to support this work, your generosity
helps us reach more mothers.
