International Bereaved Mother's Day 2014

May 4, 2014 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Today is International Bereaved Mother’s Day 2014.

We have done a lot to be proud of in the last few months… to bring awareness to grieving mothers and to do our part in supporting them as Mother’s Day approaches. I will have an entire post about all of that sometime this week. But for today, on international bereaved mother’s day 2014, I just wanted to ask everyone to stop for a second, hug their children, and think about all the mamas who are missing theirs.

International Bereaved Mother's Day 2014

International Bereaved Mother’s Day is a day to honor the mother’s who are not able to celebrate with their child, but still deserve to be honored.

I am no longer actively grieving but I will always be bereaved… and this is a day that I can stop and reflect on my journey, where it began and where I am today. I have come a long way in the last two and a half years. And I have to say that so much of it is from the support that I have received from my blogging friends. Women who were just strangers to me three years ago have now become the pillar on which I lean.

You are beautiful mothers too.

    You are a beautiful inspiration and your mission is a powerful force of healing and support for countless mothers who are grieving…

    I am so proud of you, and so honored to be your friend Alexa.

    Take a nice long breath- inhale in all that you have achieved in these years and exhale out all the joy in discovering such a profound purpose in your pain.

    I was just cleaning up my blog and came upon my post from last year and realized it was today. http://www.journeysofthezoo.com/2013/05/international-bereaved-mothers-day-2013.html

    Coincidence, I think not.

    I’m happy that you have received the support you need/ed. Such a great group of people. So unfortunate that we must meet this way.

    You are in my thoughts.

    Besos, Sarah
