Today is National Bereaved Parents Day. 💙⭐
Today and every day, we hold space for every mum, dad, grandparent carrying the heartbreak of losing a child.
There are no words that can truly describe what it means to outlive your son or daughter.
It changes every part of who you are.
Time may teach you how to carry the weight, but it never takes the weight away.
At Brightest Star, we have the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of incredible families.
Every day we witness extraordinary courage, not because bereaved parents are “strong”, but because they have no choice but to keep putting one foot in front of the other while carrying unimaginable love and loss.
Today is about saying what so many bereaved parents long to hear:
💙 Your child mattered.
⭐ Your child will always be remembered.
💙 Your love did not end when their life did.
⭐ You are still their mum. You are still their dad.
If you feel able, we’d love you to tell us your child’s name in the comments.
We will speak their names with you today, because every child deserves to be remembered, and every parent deserves to know they are not alone.
To every bereaved parent reading this,
we see you,
we remember your child,
and we are holding you close today.
With love,
The Brightest Star Family 💙⭐
