The Ugly Cry Club provides a safe space where grieving moms can be vulnerable and share honest thoughts and feelings. It has allowed me to connect with other moms that are going through the loss of a child, something that one would not truly understand unless they had gone through it also.
Carrie M., Ugly Cry Club mom
Grief made me feel so alone, even in a room full of people who loved me. The Ugly Cry Club gave me a place where I don’t have to explain or pretend. Every mom there knows this pain. We share our stories and our kids’ names. We share the ugly cries too. I leave every time feeling a little lighter and a lot less alone. If you’re a grieving mom wondering if you belong here, you do.
Amber P., Ugly Cry Club mom
In a world that keeps telling us to move on, this group of amazing heartbroken Mommas lets us stay — holding space for our beautiful children we will never ever stop loving and for each other!! We are a sisterhood born from the deepest heartbreak, lifting each other up when not everyone in our lives can understand. We are a club that no one ever wants to join, but I am endlessly grateful for the beautiful souls who walk this unintended path beside me, honoring the memories of our children together, keeping their stories and love alive forever! To me this group is priceless!! Love you Mommas!
