Mother’s Day is not beautiful for everyone.💜💜

For some women, today is filled with flowers, laughter, and children running into their arms.
But for others, today opens wounds that never truly close.
Today, we remember the mothers whose children now live in Heaven.
The mothers who would give anything to hear their child say “Mom” one more time.
The mothers who still buy flowers for a grave instead of a kitchen table.
The mothers whose hearts left this earth with their child.
We remember the women who longed to become mothers,
the women who prayed, hoped, waited, and carried dreams that never came to be.
The women whose arms ache from never getting to hold the baby they already loved so deeply.
Grief does not disappear because the calendar says “Happy Mother’s Day.”
Love like this does not end.
A mother’s love is eternal.
So today, if your heart feels heavy,
if tears come out of nowhere,
if you feel forgotten while the world celebrates,
Please know this:
Your love matters.
Your motherhood matters.
Your child matters.
And you are not alone.
Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful daughter Alisha in Heaven.
I know she is the most beautiful mother to Ava.
With love for every grieving mother today,
The Purple Project 💜

Hi everyone! 💜
We are looking for a stroller donation for one of our moms in need. Ideally, we’re hoping for:
• A stroller that can hold a car seat, or
• A stroller where a baby can lay down comfortably
If you have one you’re no longer using and would be willing to donate, please message me. Thank you so much for always supporting our moms we truly couldn’t do this without you! 💜

Warning sensitive material💜

Three days ago, I heard a story about a grieving mother.
A mother who lost her only son
and in her pain, she made the decision to travel to Switzerland  for what is called assisted su***de.
Since hearing it, I have not been able to sleep.
Because I know that kind of grief.
When I lost my daughter and my granddaughter there were days, many days, where I begged God to take my life. I didn’t want to wake up. The pain was so unbearable, so suffocating, that just breathing felt like too much.
And if I am honest… there are still moments when that grief rises up and takes my breath away.
That is what people don’t understand.
Grief after losing a child is not something you “get over.”
It is something you learn to carry for the rest of your life.
So when I heard this mother’s story, my first instinct was not judgment.
It was prayer.
Constant prayer.
I prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet over and over, begging Jesus for a miracle begging Him to reach her heart in a way only He can.
I also reached out to her on Facebook
telling her that I would help her in any way I could.
Because I know there are so many grieving parents who have had the very same thoughts she is having.
But this is what breaks my heart the most
This decision is permanent.
Yes, the pain feels permanent.
Yes, the hole in your heart is as big as your child was.
But your life, your presence, your love
that still matters here.
That still has purpose.
That still has meaning.
Like Mother Mary
when it was foretold, “and a sword will pierce your own heart,” she understands this pain.
Mary, mother of Jesus had to watch her Son suffer
She knows what it is to stand there and not be able to stop it.
She knows what it is to carry that grief in her heart.
She understands.
Pray to her.
She will walk with you in that grief.
She will stay with you in the moments you feel like you cannot go on.
This story worries me so deeply… because I have sat with countless grieving mothers.
Mothers who cry out
who scream
who say, “I don’t want to live anymore.”
And I understand that cry.
I have lived that cry.
But what I have also seen
is that when someone stays
when someone is held
when someone is prayed for
something begins to shift, even if just a little.
So please, if you know someone who has lost a child
Say their child’s name.
Don’t be afraid of it.
Ask them how they are doing, even years later.
Especially years later.
Sit with them.
You don’t need the right words.
Remember the dates that matter.
And please do not disappear.
Because grief is not a moment
it is a lifetime.
To every grieving parent reading this
There may be days you cannot get out of bed.
There may be days you don’t want to wake up.
I have been there.
But if you let God in, even just a little
He will sit with you in that darkness.
You are not alone.
Even when it feels like it.
So today, I am asking you, please pray.
Pray for this mother.
Pray for every grieving parent who feels like they cannot take another breath.
Jesus, Divine Mercy…
run to them.
Because even when grief shatters a heart into pieces
God still holds every single piece.
And somehow
He keeps it beating.

On this sacred Good Friday, we stand at the foot of the Cross… a place of deep sorrow, but also of unimaginable love.
At The Purple Project, we know what it means to carry the cross of grief. We know the silence, the ache, and the questions that don’t have easy answers. And yet Good Friday reminds us that God does His greatest work in the darkest moments.
Jesus did not run from suffering. He entered into it. He transformed it. And through it, He brought hope to the world.
Today, we remember that we are never alone in our suffering. The Cross is not the end of the story. Love is stronger. Hope is alive. Resurrection is coming.
If you are grieving today, we are holding you close in prayer. Your pain matters. Your story matters. And there is still light ahead.
🕊️ “God meets us in the darkest place… not by removing the Cross, but by entering it with us.”
With love and hope,
The Purple Project 💜

💜 A Heartfelt Thank You 💜
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Saint Anne’s Parish and to a prisoner there who so generously donated toward the baby shower for The Purple Project. Your kindness and generosity touched my heart more than you will ever know. A very special thank you to Linda Zergo, who so lovingly organized the entire baby shower. Your dedication, compassion, and hard work made this day truly special.
This baby shower is the one of the highlight of my year, and it’s because of people like you who show up with open hearts and willing hands. Thank you for being part of this mission and for reminding us that love and hope are always stronger. 💜🙏

On August 19, 2012, our daughter, Alisha Bromfield, and her unborn child were brutally murdered. My husband, Joe, and I were devastated when we heard the news. After the shock wore off, we each struggled with grief in our own way. I was left with two overwhelming emotions, anger and guilt. I felt so...

💜 Honoring Ava’s 13th Heavenly Birthday Today 💜

Today my granddaughter Ava would be 13 years old. A teenager. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her and her beautiful mama, Alisha. Their lives continue to inspire every single thing The Purple Project does.
In honor of Ava’s heavenly birthday, we are lifting up the mothers and babies who are part of our Purple Project family. Right now, we are supporting pregnant moms who are preparing to welcome new life, and we are celebrating our newest sponsored mom and her baby girl, Oakley, who is just two months old.
Ava’s life, though short, continues to create hope, healing, and help for mothers who need it most. If you feel called today, I invite you to donate in Ava’s honor. Every gift, big or small, directly supports moms and babies who are trying to find their footing, build stability, and create a safe new beginning.
Your support means more than words. Thank you for helping us keep Ava’s light shining.
💜 I will share the donation link below and a picture of seert baby Oakly. Your generosity is deeply appreciated
