For those of you for whom today is a struggle, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Wishing everyone a blessed Mother's Day. To those feeling loss, pain, or heartache please know that your are loved.

Mother’s Day may inspire you to do something special to honor the memory of the woman who’s always in your heart. Regardless of the amount of time that has passed, there are several ways you can manage your grief while remembering Mom this Mother’s day.

On this Bereaved Mother’s Day, we honor the love, strength, and sorrow carried by the moms who hold their children in their hearts. May we all offer support, understanding, and compassion to a grieving mom.

May you feel the Lord’s love and peace this Easter.

If you want to support a grieving friend, start with this conversation prompt:

“Tell me about your loved one.”

People who are grieving want to talk about the person they’ve lost and dearly miss; they want to make sure their loved one is remembered. There’s no perfect thing to say after someone experiences a loss; instead, you can ask to hear a story or memory about their loved one. Starting this conversation acknowledges the grief they’re experiencing without trying to minimize or erase their pain. Sometimes the best, most compassionate support we can offer is through listening.
