The 3Hopeful Hearts Bereaved Mothers Retreat brought together 27 mothers who have experienced the loss of a child for a day centered around the theme “Fill Your Cup.” Local artist Yoko Laidley led a workshop where participants created personalized art pieces as reminders to extend to themselves the same compassion they offer others. The day concluded with a heartfelt letter-writing activity, sharing encouragement and love with another bereaved mom. The day offered these mothers a space to feel supported, understood, and less alone in their grief journey.
