Today can be a complicated day.

For those who have lost their baby.
For those who have only ever carried their babies in the bellies and their hearts.
For those who have carried hope and heartbreak.
For those who have living children trying to celebrate them today, and still feel the calling of the ones not physically here.

Whether this is your first Mother's Day without your baby, or your 5th, or your 20th, or your 50th, or more, we know this day isn't easy.

We hold space for you and your babies.

Your motherhood matters.

You are not alone.

To the mothers who hold babies in their hearts instead of their arms - we are holding you close.

There is no right way to move through this day.

You might want to be alone. You might want to be surrounded by people who understand.
You might honor your baby in a quiet way, or this may be like any other day.

Whatever this day looks like for you, let it be yours. πŸ’œ

There are no "right words" to describe the weight of the love and quiet remembrance of a mother who carries the legacy of her baby who she longed for and carried for a short time.

If you know a bereaved mother, reach out.

Even if you don't know what to say - "thinking of you and your baby today" is enough.

You may light a candle, make a small donation in their baby's honor, or just remind them they are not forgotten.
