Empower Mama Creating awareness on child loss and need for effective bereavement support and care; in efforts to end child loss associated stigma.

Empower Mama Foundation is an organization that raises awareness on the impact of child loss on families and society at large and advocates for the need for effective and compassionate bereavement support to grieving parents through our awareness WORKSHOPS. You can join the campaign on hashtag and let's break the silence on this highly stigmatized issue and be a more caring community. We also offer psycho-social and emotional support to bereaved parents through our support groups and workshops. We host activities/events in remembrance and in honor of the lives of the children gone too soon. Every October and October 15th we join in marking Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) Awareness month and International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day respectively.

Today's session was a stark reminder of the paradox that comes with grief.

The only way out, is through it.

Grief, has to be felt... that's the only way out
It's not easy but that's the way to move forward

A song. A date. A baby announcement. A smell. A place. A question or comment....
Sometimes grief arrives without warning and the hardest parts aren't even the obvious moments.
These unexpected moments can reopen a wound we thought was beginning to close. We call them .

If you've ever been surprised by a wave of grief, please remember: you are not going backward or stuck. A trigger does not erase how far you have walked towards healing, it reminds you that something mattered.

At our peer sessions, we talk honestly about grief triggers and learn that being triggered does not mean we have failed at moving forward. We share about recognizing triggers, understanding our responses, and finding healthy ways to ride the wave.

No one has to navigate grief alone.

You might have heard 'moving forward following a loss' or 'finding your way back to life'. We are not talking about going back to the person we were before our baby died. That person may no longer exist in exactly the same way. A topic for another day.

We are talking about discovering how to live in this new reality of carrying our babies' love and memories with us, while slowly making room for moments of connection, purpose, love, laughter and hope.

This week's topic was quite interesting!

What does moving forward mean to you?

Today we had an engaging support group session, we were looking at the life we carry forward after a loss.

When a parent loses a baby, life may never feel exactly the same again. And healing does not mean forgetting, “getting over it,” or leaving that baby behind.

A bereaved parent can:
- Remember their baby AND go to work
- Celebrate someone else's baby AND still grieve theirs.
- Cry about their baby AND laugh with a friend.
- Have a good day without feeling like they are betraying their baby.
- Find meaning and purpose while still carrying grief.

Grief and joy can exist in the same heart.

Sometimes 'healing' is not about returning to the person you were before the loss. It is about learning how to live in a new reality by carrying the love, the memories and the baby’s place in your story.

If you know a bereaved parent, don't rush them to “move on.”
Walk with them. Listen. Remember their baby. Let them grieve at their own pace.

There is no deadline for grief. And there is no betrayal in living.

Today we gave ourselves permissions.
To live, to laugh again, to celebrate others, to remember our babies, to say their names, to make plans.....

If you are a , what permission are you giving yourself starting from today?
