The
loss of mothers and mothers of loss and infertility
“A mother is not defined by the number of children you
can see, but by the love that she holds in her heart.“ ~Francesca Cox
There are no words
to express the ache we feel when a mother cannot hold her child. Mother’s Day
isn’t quite as wonderful when a child or mother is gone.
If we have lost our mom, even though we may be grown, we
still want to hug her, hear her voice, and know that she is near. We long to
have her see us now, the children we are raising, the life we are making.
Some women can only hold their baby in their dreams. Some long to carry a baby to one day call her
own. Her heart may ache seeing others
around her welcome new babies, while she struggles with infertility or
pregnancy loss. Others have faced the
unimaginable, saying good-bye to her child.
It does not matter if a mother and child were together
for a day, a few weeks, months, or years, a mother’s love is unending.
We
celebrate you and the immeasurable love in your heart.
