Find the Words

April is a very powerful month.

.

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month.

April is Elective Abortion Recovery Month.

Spring has the highest rates of suicide.

April is the month of Debris Day.

 

Wow.

These are each enormous.

Let’s break the divisiveness.  These are incorrect statements:

  • “Alcohol should be prohibited for bereaved parents.  That way they won’t self medicate and over use it.”
  • “Bereaved parents who have living children are now unworthy of emotional support.  After all, they’ve got living children now.”
  • “Mothers who’ve endured elective abortion should be mocked and shamed and are unworthy of emotional support.”

Our grief challenges us.  Our grief is hard work.

But if you can say just one kind thing to ANY of these demographics, any one kind thing to the bereaved parents reading this page, whatever kindness you can muster, please, leave your comment below for them to read.

You just might save a life.

To say thank you, one random comment will be drawn, for one large sized greeting card selection from the beautiful Lost For Words card line.  The drawing will be held on Sunday, May 5, 2013 – Bereaved Mother’s Day

 This giveaway is now closed.  The number drawn was 10.  Congratulations, Em.  Please contact me with the card of your choice from the Lost for Words card line.
