🌼 Mother’s Day can be incredibly beautiful and deeply painful at the same time. For some, it is laughter and flowers, breakfast in bed, and tiny arms wrapped around your neck. For others, it is an aching reminder of the loved one no longer with us or the unfulfilled dream of being a mother. And for many of us, it is both.

🌺 You can be deeply grateful for the children in front of you while grieving the one you cannot hold. You can smile through breakfast and flowers while carrying heartbreak underneath it all. You can celebrate motherhood and mourn at the very same time. Love and loss are so often intertwined because grief exists where love still remains.

🌻 Mother’s Day is not “happy” for everyone. So if you know someone carrying heartbreak today, acknowledge it gently. Say their child’s name. Share a memory of their mother. Let them know you remember. Send a simple text: “Thinking of you today.” Don’t rush them past their grief or try to fix their pain. Just sit with them in it, as uncomfortable as that may be for you. Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can offer someone grieving is the reminder that their loss matters, and their person is remembered.

🌸 For anyone grieving today, we see you and send you love for a gentle Mother’s Day.

🤍Today on Bereaved Mother’s Day, we pause to honor the children no longer here and to support the mothers that carry the heartache & love with them into every new day.

Mother’s Day can be one of the hardest days to navigate after the loss of a child. A day that once held joy and celebration is now a reminder of what was, what should have been, and the deep love that remains without a place to land.

This tribute gallery is a sacred space of love that continues beyond loss. Each tribute is a mother’s voice, honoring the child she carries in her heart this Bereaved Mother’s Day. Within these words are memories, longing, and an unbreakable bond that endures. May these reflections offer connection, comfort, and a gentle reminder: we will always be their mothers.

Thank you to every mother who trusted us in sharing your child. Your tributes can also be viewed on our website www.glovesforgrief.org

We wish every bereaved mother in our grief community a gentle Mother’s Day. And the reminder that you are not alone.

❤️ National Siblings Day can be complicated for those living with sibling loss.

Today we hold space for the brothers and sisters who should still be here. The ones who shared our childhoods, our inside jokes, our family history. The ones who were our built-in best friend, the ones who were supposed to grow old alongside us.

Sibling grief often goes unseen. People ask about parents, spouses, and children, but the loss of a sibling can drastically reshape an entire family.

If today feels extra heavy, you are not alone.

Today we remember them. We say their names. We honor the love that didn’t end when their life did.

🤍🖤 To everyone missing a brother or sister today, we invite you to share their name.

💜Say Their Name Day❤️

A day started by Red Nose Australia to help break the stigma around speaking the names of babies and children who died too soon.

For many grieving parents, a painful part of loss is the silence that follows. The way people avoid their child’s name. The way the world seems to move on while their child’s life goes unspoken.

But saying their name doesn’t make the grief heavier. It acknowledges the love that is still here.

Our children existed. They are part of our stories. They are part of our families.

At Gloves for Grief, we believe grief deserves to be held in community, not hidden in silence. And part of holding that grief is giving space for the names that mean everything to us.

Today we say their names. Out loud.
With love.
With the knowing that they will always matter.

If you feel comfortable, share the name of the child you carry in your heart. We will hold them with you.🤍

❤️ Last night we closed our March virtual support group the best way we could…together.

💐 We stepped out from behind the screens and gathered in-person to create 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬. Remembering that when something is fragile, supporting it doesn’t take away its beauty, it helps make it a little stronger.
 🫂 We shared stories, tears, and laughter.
And maybe most meaningful of all…hugs.
The kind that say 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒐. The kind that remind you that you’re not carrying it alone.

👩🏼‍🤝‍👩🏽Grief can feel incredibly isolating, but nights like this remind us that healing doesn’t only happen in conversation. It happens in connection, creativity, and sometimes just sitting shoulder to shoulder with someone who gets it.

📌 Our next 5-week virtual support group starts April 13th. Registration is now open at www.glovesforgrief.org/events and at the link in our bio.

💜 On World Cancer Day, we pause together in compassion and support for those fighting, those who have survived, and those who have lost a loved one to cancer.

💜 Grief doesn’t only begin after death. It can show up during illness as anticipatory grief, when we are grieving what is changing and what is to come.

💜 Whatever your experience with cancer may be, you deserve understanding, support, and gentleness. May today remind you that you are seen, your feelings are valid, and you are not alone in this.
