Mother’s Day can be one of the most painful and complicated days of the year for a grieving mom. In this episode, Laura speaks honestly about how to handle Mother’s Day after losing a child, acknowledging the mix of love, grief, pressure, and longing that so many bereaved mothers carry. With gentle encouragement and real-life understanding, she reminds you that there is no right or wrong way to walk through this day, and that your motherhood has not ended.

If Mother’s Day feels heavy, this episode offers compassionate support and permission to do what your heart needs. Through personal reflection and a heartfelt letter to her child, Laura helps you find a way to navigate Mother’s Day after child loss with honesty, grace, and hope, acknowledging that your love continues and your child is always part of who you are.
