Did you know about Bereaved Mothers Day?

article image placeholderUploaded by @helloimgrieving
And I also want to include again that it's hard for me to even think of myself as bereaved Mothers Day Correlating and identifying with this and my own losses through the infertility journey that I'm still currently on and understanding what it's like to experience loss, to experience the hopes and the dreams and the ideas of having a child and what their life would look like and having those images in your head. Or if you have birthed. A child, and that child has died

Obviously I'm going to be around her on Mother's Day, but what would be some do's and don'ts when communicating with someone who you know has lost a child and you know that this particular holiday is going to be tough for them. You don't want to just ignore them, but you don't want to say the wrong thing. And again, I know it depends on the level family relationships

And there can be questions that maybe they don't feel like answering. And that's okay. It is about letting them know that you're there, letting them know that you're thinking about them, letting them know that you want to still talk about your person and to talk about their life and to keep their memory alive
