Grieving Hearts
​​​​​
A mother's grief is unlike any other.
Her care should be, too.
​​​​​
We walk beside mothers after the loss of a child,
​​
offering mother-to-mother, in-person and online group support, trauma-informed guidance,
and gentle healing experiences.​
​
So that no grieving mother has to feel alone.
​​​​
​
Why We Are Here
The loss of a child changes everything.​
​
It reaches into a mother’s body,
identity, relationships,
and sense of safety.
​​
Many mothers feel deeply alone,
even when surrounded by people who love them.
​​
A mother's grief is often accompanied by trauma,
and informed, compassionate care is essential.
Grieving Hearts exists because a mother's particular needs are not always fully seen, understood, or supported.
Our Programs
We meet mothers where they are, with connection, understanding, education, and compassionate support.
Compassion
A gentle first connection with a bereaved mother who understands.
Introductions
When possible, we connect mothers with another mother whose loss is similar in some way
Expression
Creative gatherings for remembrance, gentle movement, and connection.
Reflection
A Mother's Sacred Circle, book club, and spaces to share or simply listen.
Education
Our 6-week Healing Education Series for grieving mothers.
Practical Support
Short-term help with basic needs, as funding allows.
​​​ ​​​​​​
​Real Impact
Grieving Hearts was established in August 2025.

We believe this is only the beginning.
​
Who We Are
Rooted in Lived Experience.
Guided with Care.
​​​​
Grieving Hearts was co-founded by two bereaved mothers.
One co-founder is also a grief therapist and Doctor of Psychology,
which helps shape our trauma-informed approach.
​
We are a peer-based community offering mother-to-mother support, trauma-informed guidance, and healing experiences for mothers after child loss.
​
We serve Placer, Sacramento, and El Dorado counties,
and wherever grieving moms find us.

If you are a grieving mother, we are here for you.
​
You are not alone.​​
