Mother’s Day is less than a week away. Stores, restaurants and social media are advertising sales, brunches and gift guides in preparation for Sunday. A day to celebrate, honor and remember. For some women though, Mother’s Day is simply a painful reminder of who they have lost and what they don’t have.
I wanted to do a special giveaway to honor you! The mother with empty arms. The mother grieving. The mother waiting and longing. The mother hoping. You may be the one who stays seated during the Mother’s Day blessing at church, but in your pew whether sitting or standing you are a mother. God sees your heart, He knows your longing and He carries your pain.
Although, I would love to give each of you this giveaway, know that you are recognized, acknowledged and prayed for in a special way this weekend. A special thank you to those who donated these beautiful gifts, Madisen Brooke Designs, Chews Life and Blessed With Full Hands.

Hi Cassie! It’s Nicole Thums. What a beautiful giveaway to celebrate those who long or grieve for their baby or babies they have lost. I haven’t shared with many people but I miscarried twice. Both in September, the month I was born. But God has blessed me with 3 beautiful children that I enjoy everyday. On the day of my miscarriages I still feel that sadness like the day I lost them. I always know that God has a plan for me and my family. Happy mother’s day to you and your beautiful family!
Nicole, I am so sorry for your losses. The pain never really leaves us, their brief lives always remains in our hearts! I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Hi, my name is Kelsie! I have unfortunately lost two sweet babies. One of my miscarriages took me down a road of lots of blood draws(still doing it once a month even), a cancer scare, and quite a few doses of low dose chemotherapy. I’m still in the “waiting” to give my body time to heal. I appreciate you thinking of those of us longing as Mother’s Day is one of the hardest holidays to get through!
Oh Kelsie, I am so sorry for your losses and the heavy cross you are carrying. The waiting and appointments are so hard, when our hearts just long to hold a baby. As hard as the day is, (I used to dread it) you are a mother to two beautiful little saints in heaven. Wishing you a peaceful Mother’s Day that is filled with comfort and hope even in your sorrow.
