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.
Why We Are Here
The loss of a child changes everything.
It reaches into a mother’s body,
identity, relationships,
and sense of safety.
Many mothers feel deeply alone,
even when surrounded by people who love them.
A mother's grief is often accompanied by trauma,
and informed, compassionate care is essential.
Grieving Hearts exists because a mother's particular needs are not always fully seen, understood, or supported.
Our Programs
We meet mothers where they are, with connection, understanding, education, and compassionate support.
Compassion
A gentle first connection with a bereaved mother who understands.
Introductions
When possible, we connect mothers with another mother whose loss is similar in some way
Expression
Creative gatherings for remembrance, gentle movement, and connection.
Reflection
A Mother's Sacred Circle, book club, and spaces to share or simply listen.
Education
Our 6-week Healing Education Series for grieving mothers.
Practical Support
Short-term help with basic needs, as funding allows.
Real Impact
Grieving Hearts was established in August 2025.
Although we have intentionally limited our outreach,
Already:
740+ Visitors | 53+ Mothers Connected | 21 Mothers Participated
8 Gatherings Hosted | 6 Mother-to-Mother Matches | 2 Emergency Support Grants
We believe this is only the beginning.
Who We Are
Rooted in Lived Experience.
Guided with Care.
Grieving Hearts was co-founded by two bereaved mothers.
One co-founder is also a grief therapist and Doctor of Psychology,
which helps shape our trauma-informed approach.
We are a peer-based community offering mother-to-mother support, trauma-informed guidance, and healing experiences for mothers after child loss.
We serve Placer, Sacramento, and El Dorado counties,
and wherever grieving moms find us.
If you are a grieving mother, we are here for you.
You are not alone.
