Today Griefline honours mothers of every kind:

- Our beloved mothers who are no longer here
- Our cherished mother-figures now departed
- Bereaved mothers who have lost a precious child
- Childless mothers, their hopes never realised
- Mothers estranged from their children
- Mothers of children living with pain and hardship
- Mothers facing all manner of adversity
And mothers being the best they can be

Today we honour every one of you…

Many in our community suffer heartache on Mother's Day. Yet despite the grief amongst us, so many suffer in isolation. This mother’s day it’s time to reach out to one another to express our grief and share precious memories.

If you’re looking for a caring community, join our online forums. We’ve launched two dedicated forum topics on Mother's Day. Our ‘Mother Love’ Topic is a space to reminisce about your mum and our ‘Motherhood Grief’ Topic welcomes users to share their grief and loss experience.

Mother's Day and Meaning-Making

Mother’s Day is a joyful day for so many in our community and yet full of sorrow for many more. So what can you do to make it a little easier for someone missing their mum this Mother's Day (Sunday 9th May)?

Double down on your compassion by:

1. Acknowledging their loss and bearing witness to their grief.
2. Keep the memory of their mum alive through recognition and reminiscence.

Here are just a few suggestions for putting this into action:

- Let them know you’re thinking of them by giving them a call or sending a card...and be sure to mention mum
- If finding the right words is tricky, a simple text mentioning mums name with heartfelt emojis can speak volumes ❤️🌸🌈
- Drop off a bunch of flowers from the garden or some home-baked goodies
- Reminisce by sharing your favourite memories of their mum in a letter or email
- Check if they’d like to catch up for a laugh or a cry over old photos or videos
- Donate to their mother’s favourite cause
- Get involved in a charity event in recognition of their mum

Any one of these actions can help to validate the meaning your friend has given to their loss, and aid in their grief recovery #meaningfulmay

For more information on supporting someone experiencing loss head to the Griefline Resource Hub https://griefline.org.au/resources/

How do you grieve mindfully?

Grief is complicated and sometimes, when we are processing our loss, we may struggle to stay present. A racing mind and tension in the body are just some of the grief symptoms which can be relieved by practicing mindfulness techniques.

Explore the self-compassionate approach of acceptance and non-judgement as you process your loss in the present moment with techniques such as mindful breathing, meditation and journaling.
Visit our Mindfulness for Grief page in the Griefline Grief and Loss Resource Hub.

This month Griefline is exploring 'Meaning-Making' as part of grief recovery by making sense of loss through finding restorative benefits or life lessons in the experience.

This month Griefline is exploring ‘Meaning-Making’ as part of grief recovery.
Meaning-making is making sense of our loss by finding restorative “benefits” or life lessons in the experience. It’s an important pillar of grief work that allows us to adapt to the loss and integrate it into our lives, helping to ease the intensity of our grief and reduce the risk of developing complicated grief. We may even grow through the experience.
Finding a renewed or reworked reason to move forward in life is not always easy but Griefline is here to support you every step of the way. For tips on ‘gaining a better understanding of yourself and a healthy future outlook’, check out our ‘Coping with Grief’ page on the Griefline Resource Hub, https://griefline.org.au/resources/coping-with-grief
or chat with one of our Helpline volunteers.

The Griefline Helpline is available 7 days a week, 6am to midnight on 1300 845 745 The Griefline Resource Hub is accessible 24 hours a day at www.griefline.org.au
Because in Meaningful May and every other day of the year...
Griefline is here for you.
