The Two-Week Mark.

Throughout the last year, I have met and spoken with several mothers who have lost a child. Very quickly, I noticed one commonality among so many of us:

The two-week mark.

The first week after losing a child, support typically pours in. And honestly, it can feel overwhelming.

Families are busy planning visitation and funeral services. They are choosing songs, Bible verses, quotes, burial outfits, and making sure everyone knows the plans. They are answering messages, making phone calls, accepting visitors, and trying to keep their homes and families together—all while beginning to process the unimaginable loss of their child.

Then comes week two.

The visitation and funeral are over. Thank-you notes begin to be written. People are still checking in. Friends and family are still asking how you’re doing.

But then…

Week two ends. Week three begins.

And suddenly, the texts become fewer. The phone calls become less frequent. The visits slow down.

That’s when reality begins to set in.

Mothers begin thinking about returning to work. Other children return to school, sports, and their normal routines. The world around you begins moving forward, while you are desperately trying to figure out how to exist in a world that no longer includes your child.

Life without your child becomes more real.

And for many mothers, these are some of the hardest steps forward.

Because every morning you wake up, there is another reminder that your child is gone.

You still count your family the same way.

You still think about the seat at the table.
The ticket on vacation.
The seat in the car.
The empty bedroom.
The birthday that will come.
The holidays that will never look the same.

This is where learning how to walk with your grief begins.

Not just in those first days.

But in the weeks, months, years, and lifetime that follow.

Because you don’t simply heal from losing a child.

Your heart learns to carry a broken place.

Eventually, sadness, grief, love, laughter, memories, and happiness learn to exist side by side.

And that is why MOYA was created. ❤️

Others may see you struggling.

We see you walking through each step of a path we now share.

We understand that the support shouldn’t end when the funeral is over.

We understand that grief doesn’t follow a timeline.

And we want mothers and families to know:

You don’t have to walk this path alone.

As always we hold all parents in our hearts, especially this month. Our hearts ache alongside yours every day. To fully understand this type of grief is to have to walk the path. We know how hard not only this month is but how hard every day is and sometimes just every minute.
If you know a parent who has lost a child reach out to them and check on them. Ask them to tell you a memory of their child. When we are asked, “how are you doing” it’s often easy for us to give a simple answer of “fine” or “okay.” By asking a direct question about their child or grief, it can open a door to a conversation they desperately need to have with someone. ❤️❤️

MOYA is currently seeking businesses, companies, and community supporters who would like to partner with us in our mission to support grieving families.

As we continue our 2026 mission, we are hoping to expand our outreach within the community so families know they are not alone — both those currently needing support and those who may unfortunately need our resources in the future.

At this time, we are specifically seeking sponsorships or donations for:
• A vinyl event sign/banner
• Refrigerator magnets with our contact information for easy access during times of need

Every contribution helps us continue reaching families with compassion, support, and resources during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Monetary donations can also be made at any Napoleon State Bank.

If you or your business would be interested in helping support MOYA, please contact us at:

Thank you for helping us continue to serve families in our community. ❤️
