Today is International Bereaved Mother’s Day

 Today is International Bereaved Mother’s Day. A day that not everyone talks about, but so many moms feel in their bones.

To the moms who never got to bring their baby home.
To the moms who held their baby for just a moment, or never got to hold them at all.
To the moms who carry their child in their heart instead of their arms.
To the moms who feel the world has moved on, while they're still learning how to breathe again.

You are a mother.
You always will be.

I hope today you feel seen. I hope you allow yourself to grieve in whatever way you need. I hope you know your love didn’t end. It lives on in every memory, every tear, and every heartbeat that still aches for them.

You are not forgotten.
You are not alone.
You are deeply, deeply loved.
