I’ll never forget my mom’s words shortly after our baby died. She said very little and listened intently as I poured out my heart. But what she did say stuck:
I’m so sorry, honey. It’s hard for Grandparent’s, too.
I’m forever grateful to my parents for the loving support they have given our family through the many ups and downs of life.
While Moms who have suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth, the loss of a baby or child appreciate and need support, one of the most common occurrences on Mother’s Day is the worst one … in an effort to avoid making a mistake people say nothing at all.
Let’s change that trend and offer hope and healing.
In Video #5 of our seven-part Mother’s Day series, I talk with my 88-year-old favorite mentor, friend, and Father about what a Grandparent can say to their Grandchild’s family on Mother’s Day, after the loss of their baby or child.
My Dad is one of the most compassionate people I know. He also has a wonderful way with words. In this video, Dad reads the letter he plans to enclose in Jessie’s Mother’s Day card.
