Boundaries 101

“You cannot save anyone. You can be present with them, offer your groundedness, your sanity, your peace. You can even share your path with them, offer your perspective. But you cannot take away their pain. You cannot walk their path for them. You cannot give answers that are right for them, or even answers they can digest right now. They will have to find their own answers…"

The Sunday before Mothers day is known as Bereaved Mothers day, started by my friend, CarlyMarie Dudley.

Not because we are any less qualified to be celebrated also on Mothers day, but because our experiences are so complex that they are worthy to hold space in - Bereaved Mothers day honors the heartbreak, devastation, and grief we have experienced along the motherhood journey.

Stillbirthday honors the spaces where birth and bereavement meet.
