At Unspoken Motherhood, we understand the profound impact of losing a child. We also understand that supporting someone through this difficult time can be challenging. Thus, we’ve created this page to guide you on how to best support the Unspoken Mothers in your life.

Communication: The Key to Comfort

One of the most significant ways you can support an Unspoken Mother is through gentle and thoughtful communication. Here are some tips:

  • Use their baby’s name. This simple act acknowledges the existence and importance of their child.
  • Give them the freedom to talk or be quiet. Let them lead the conversation. They may want to talk about their baby, or they may need silence. Respect their wishes.
  • Remember their baby’s birthday. A simple message or call on this day can mean the world to them.
  • Send a text. This lets them know you’re thinking of them.

Practical Support: Making Everyday Life Easier

Offering practical help can alleviate some of the everyday stresses that come with grief. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Provide meals or groceries.
  • Come in cleaning clothes and cleaning supplies and ask which bathroom they want cleaned.
  • Clean out their fridge to make room for any new meals.
  • Help the big kids clean and organize their rooms.

Gifts: Tangible Expressions of Love

A thoughtful gift can provide comfort and serve as a beautiful reminder of their baby. Here are some gift ideas:

  • Flowers, fresh or dried.
  • A gift card.
  • Age-appropriate books, activities, and crafts for older siblings.
  • A date night package, including a restaurant gift card and an offer to babysit any older children.
  • Hand Made soaps, made specifically for Unspoken Mothers by JMorgan Soaps. These soaps, named Heartfelt Soaps, can be purchased here, or can be purchased and sent to Unspoken Motherhood for use in their gift baskets at a discounted cost.
