“…we love them still, and always will.” May you find yourself in the company of those who will hold space for you as you talk about and remember your loves on this long holiday weekend. We’re thinking of you. #grief #bereavement #bereavedfamilies #peersupport #griefsupport
"Whatever your loss...I hope this weekend gifts you with something that lets you feel held, if only for a moment." Take care of your tender hearts, and know that you're not alone; that your grief is valid. We see you.🌷 2/2 #grief #bereavedfamilies #peersupport #understanding
We're thinking of everyone for whom this weekend is particularly difficult. As Megan at @refugeingrief said so well, "please know that however this #MothersDay affects you, we're all here in this together, holding onto each other, holding each other up." ...con't 1/2
if they decide to share with you. It is an honour and privilege to be present in these moments with a bereaved mom. 4/4 #bereavedmothersday #grief #peersupport #acknowledgement #memories #remembering #holdingspace #honouring #cherishing #lifeafterloss #griefsupport #griefliteracy
in a world that often would rather we didn’t. We see you. We honour you, your hopes and dreams, your children. We grieve alongside you. If there is someone in your life who is carrying this sorrow, please let them know you are thinking of them; share in their memories... 3/
This Sunday, May 7th, is #InternationalBereavedMothersDay. This special day was created in 2010 to honour and celebrate mothers who carry some—perhaps all—of their children in their hearts rather than their arms.💛 1/

April 10th is National Siblings Day. Bereaved siblings are sometimes referred to as the forgotten mourners as their grief often goes unrecognized. Take time to honour this special relationship; cherish memories of your much-loved and deeply missed siblings on this special day!
As you move through these important dates with family and friends, we wish you peace and ease. May you be well-supported, may your grief be recognized and honoured. See link in bio for articles to support you within your grief during Ramadan, Passover and Easter. 2/2
April is an important month for many who belong to faith communities. The unfolding of spring, accompanied by the many special holidays and observances that occur this month, can be challenging for those who are bereaved... 1/2
Revisiting one of my favourite little gems in my own collection...thought I'd share with you tonight, too. "It's not something to fix but to awaken." Indeed. ~ Cheryl 🤍🕊️ From "Love Notes to Grievers" by @angelaemorris_ #grief #lovenotestogrievers
