Remembering Moms on Bereaved Mother’s Day 🦋
International Bereaved Mothers Day is the first Sunday in May. This special day was created in 2010 to honor and celebrate the mothers who carry some, perhaps all, of their children in their hearts rather than their arms.
Just because your child died does not mean that you are not a mother anymore.
You are your child’s mother forever, and people need to start recognizing this fact.
To you bereaved mothers on this bittersweet day..
Those babies were loved, wanted, and are being mourned.
Be gentle on yourself 💝

International Bereaved Mothers Day serves as a poignant reminder of the love and loss that comes with motherhood. On this day, people around the world acknowledge the emotional journey of mothers who have tragically lost their children. Whether you are a bereaved mother or a supporter, acknowledging this day can foster understanding and compassion. One in four women experience miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, highlighting the need for sensitively recognizing this group. Sharing and remembering stories can help in the healing process and give bereaved mothers an opportunity to express their grief publicly. Communities are encouraged to create memorials, participate in remembrance activities, or support local organizations focused on perinatal loss awareness. Engaging with online forums, support groups, and local events can provide connection and healing. Remember, grief doesn't have a timeline, and providing ongoing support to bereaved mothers is crucial. The initiative to honor bereaved mothers not only benefits those in mourning but also raises awareness around the often overlooked subject of pregnancy loss. By sharing your own story or simply offering a listening ear, you can vividly express your support and solidarity. This International Bereaved Mothers Day, let’s honor these incredible women and the love they will carry for their children forever.
