Grieving Child Loss During Holiday Ladybug : Grief and Loss Sympathy Card

This card was made for someone mourning the loss of a child on during a holiday. This could be an adult child, young child, infant, still born, or miscarriage. As someone who has experienced the loss of several children through miscarriage, I‘ve experienced how holidays can make that loss harder to bear. If your loss is public knowledge, well-meaning people can say things that are incredibly hurtful or careless in an effort to “make it better”. Additionally, sharing space with people who know about your loss and say nothing to you can be equally as hurtful. 

I hope that every mom grieving the loss of a child or children will feel more seen, more connected, and feel like there is permission to exist in her reality. When the societal pressure of what the holiday is “supposed” to look like doesn’t match your reality, it can feel like you have to pretend like everything is ok, even when you feel shattered inside.

This sympathy card was made for someone mourning the loss of a child during a holiday. 

The cover has a lady bug that has made a path that looks like a heart. The inside inscription says, “Grieving the loss of a child is hard to bear on it’s own. Grieving the loss of a child during a holiday is that much more difficult. I hope you find moments of peace during this season. Be gentle with yourself. Sending you all my love.”
