Compassion, Hope & Support for Moms Impacted by Child Loss
Turning Pain Into Purpose: Hope for Grieving Moms
Hello Grieving Moms,
My sweet son Clarke, my middle child, died suddenly and unexpectedly when he was 11 years old. An autopsy determined that Viral Myocarditis had robbed us of our Clarke. Clarke was asymptomatic. Our hearts were completely shattered. I worried constantly about Clarke's siblings.
Child loss is complicated and often misunderstood. There are not enough words to explain how devastated and alone I felt for many years. I fell down in despair many times and picked myself back up.
I have come a long way in my grief. I have learned to carry my grief. My grief has softened and continues to evolve. Every year my journey has been different. Grief is not linear.
I believe that all bereaved Moms stories matter. Some of us need more support than others. I am here to serve. No Mom should ever feel alone. You are more resilient than you know. You will survive this challenging time.
Please remember to give yourself grace.
Yours in hope,
Denise

"I was blessed to cross paths with Denise a month and a half after my beloved son passed away from Leukemia. I didn’t know if talking to someone who had also experienced the loss of a child would really do anything to help me but she has become an integral part of my journey so far. Denise is one of the most compassionate and caring individuals that I have ever met. She was able to help me through those initial months of devastation by listening to me and sharing her experiences with me. She has given me the support I needed to find my way along this terrible road and most of all, has given me hope that someday I will be able to remember my son with more love than pain. She has a beautiful soul and I will forever be grateful for having found her."
