Mother’s Day can be quite painful for those who have lost their mom or for those that have struggled to become pregnant, experienced pregnancy and infant loss, or the death of a child. For many, the day may bring feelings of sadness, isolation, loneliness, unworthiness, and pain. They may feel left out and forgotten on Mother’s Day.
Michelle provides a brief history of Mother’s Day and the creation of International Bereaved Mother’s Day in 2010 by Carly Marie Dudley after the loss of her stillborn son, Christian. As International Bereaved Mother’s Day becomes more recognized, mothers and families can honor one or both days in the way that is best for them, even varying it year by year.
Michelle shares tips to support someone that is grieving their child on both Mother's Day and Bereaved Mother’s Day and closes the episode with a short meditation for Bereaved Mother's Day.
