Tiny Hands of Hope is inviting mothers to attend their 2nd Annual Bereaved Mother’s Day Brunch to celebrate moms and cherish their children’s memories.
The event is scheduled the week before Mother’s Day, on International Bereaved Mother’s Day. Officials say it is a time to honour and support those who have experienced all types of child loss, serving as a reminder that a mother’s love is forever.
Tiny Hands’ Board Member Alicia McQuaig says while the event is memorial in nature, the brunch is much more of a celebration.
“It’s going to be fun, enjoyable, it’s not going to be a sad day, we save that for our Walk to Remember,” she says. “Especially for those moms that don’t always get to feel like they’re a mom because their child is no longer here with them, this day is really just to give them that recognition, that pride, that day to celebrate.”
McQuaig adds that you don’t have to be a mother to enjoy the day either. She says whether you are a bereaved mother, parent, family member, friend, or simply someone who wants to offer support, you are welcome to attend.
“It’s really just a day where we can come together and celebrate the strength of all the moms who have lost a child,” she says. “It isn’t a memorial event, it is just a day to celebrate the mothers in our lives, so it’s going to be very light, very easy, very breezy.”
The brunch is scheduled for May 4th at 10:00 a.m. at the Pomeroy Hotel. Tickets are available online.
