Did you know that today is International Bereaved Mothers Day? I know! We get a day all to ourselves! This special day was created in 2010 to honour and celebrate the mothers who carry some if not all of their children in their hearts rather than their arms. In our modern day society, mothers who are grieving the death of their babies and children are usually forgotten. The traditional Mothers Day has proven to be an emotionally difficult day for so many mothers around the world. Just because your baby died does not mean that you are not a mother anymore. You are your baby’s mother forever and people need to start recognizing this fact.
On this day each year we come together to celebrate our connection, our babies and children and our hope for the future. It is a day for us to take some time out and look at their ultrasound photos, polish their urns, lay flowers at their graves, visit special places and light candles in their memory. It is our day to be recognized as the beautiful mothers that we are.
If you would like to learn more about this special day you can visit our facebook page to join the community of bereaved mothers at our online global event.
To help raise awareness for this beautiful day please feel welcome to take some flower images below. Post them as your profile image on your favourite social network. You can post them on your friends walls on facebook and let them know they are beautiful mothers. Please feel welcome to use the images on your blogs or websites as well.

Wishing you all love and blessings for our Mothers Day.
With light,

As always Carly your words are exactly correct. ((((Hugs))))
I am so thankful to you Carly for your website AND for being so instrumental for creating the International Bereaved Mother’s Day. My 1st born daughter lost her 1st baby, her sweet son, my grandson, in February 2012 at 25 weeks. She is very thankful to God that she was able to hold her sweet beautiful baby for hours on end as he was being lifted into heaven to join the other ; Angels above. In October 1977, I lost my 1st baby, our sweet Angelito. My daughter and I celebrated their memory this last Sunday. by going to mass, which was very touching and spiritual to the both of us. We then had a nice brunch and spent time together in our babies’ memory. With the help of my husband, I put together a frame with each of our Butterly Sunset prints and by putting the printed I AM A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER blue flower in middle of each print. It is a beautiful memorial to our sweet angels,.. It was and is so important to me, that my daughter had her own Mother’s Day, as I still can’t stand the thought of Mother’s Day coming soon, for one.can only be so strong! I tried to post this special day on facebook, so that others could be aware of this day, but I am a bit dissapointed that I did not receive recognition of this day, or any comments from others, except from two dear friends; not especially for me, but for my daughter and for all those people who have lost their sweet babies as well..I believe people do not know how to react, and I want to ‘teach’ them to recognize that losing a baby is not ‘something’ which can be replaced the next time or that one needs to get over it. I think about my grandson every single day/ moment, and I can only imagine how my daughter feels.as she has to get herself back to moving on forward. I am so sad for her and my son-in-law. Every day, moment, I pray to our angel babies and to God to give them strength every day and that one day in the near future she will be holding a baby not only dear to her heart, but holding and watching her baby grow here on earth. . After my Angelito, I had a miscarriage, then had my beautiful daughter in 1980, a beautiful son in 1982, then another beautiful daughter in 1988. Four years later, I had another miscarriage. Our kids have always known that they each have always had a special angel watching over them..and now we have their nephew, our grandchild , who has joined them in watching over all of us. Our children are very loving and my husband and I are very blessed to have our treasures as I call them.. I thank you once again for having this site which has helped me tremenduously in my healing and in my wanting to be able to help others who are going through the same or similar situations..May God and all our little angels above keep you and your family healthy and continue to bless you. I also want to send a big hug to each and every Angel mommy and daddy. I really feel your pain and anguish and the love you feel for your sweet angels too.
