258: Mother’s Day After Child Loss

Grieving Parents Sharing Hope

Mother’s Day can be one of the most difficult days of the year for a mom after child loss. In this episode, Laura will be talking about both Mother’s Day, and a special day the week before, which is International Bereaved Mother’s Day, which is the first Sunday in May.

Laura is very real and honest about her thoughts and feelings about all of this, in a way that isn’t normally like her. But Mother’s Day is one of the hardest days we have to face each year, and there is no reason to not admit it or try to sugar coat it.

She closes by praying over each mom who is listening. We need extra strength, and God is the only one who can give that to us.
