WISHING YOU WERE HERE AGAIN


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.
