Grieving Mothers - Do you feel strong? #childloss

Loss quotes. Grieving. Missing a loved one. Comforting quotes. Celebrate life. Encouraging words.

It is ok to ask if she wants to talk about her child. Let the bereaved mom take the lead. Allow her to share what she is comfortable with and lend that listening ear.
