Mother’s Day hits differently when you’ve lost a child. I know it does for me. My son’s absence is a quiet ache that flares up today—his curious questions, his laugh, the way he loved his pillow fresh from the wash. Grief ebbs and flows: some moments, I smile at his memory; others, the loss feels raw. If you’re a parent grieving today, you’re not alone.
Your love for your child lives on, unbroken. You’re still their parent, always. Be kind to yourself—light a candle, whisper their name, or just let the day be.
If someone you know is hurting, a simple “I’m thinking of you and your child” can mean so much. No need to fix the pain—just see it.
To every parent missing their child: your love is a light that never fades. Their spirit lives in you, today and always.
The Sun may go down, son, but my love for you will never…💔
