#8 | Why Valentine’s Day Can Hurt After Loss

What this episode covers

Does Valentine’s Day make you feel more aware of what — or who — is missing? Do you scroll past smiling families and wonder, “Why not me?” Have you ever felt invisible on a day that’s supposed to celebrate love? In this heartfelt episode, we’re talking about a holiday that can quietly wound grieving parents: Valentine’s Day. While the world celebrates romance, crafts, candies, and smiling children in red and pink, many grieving mothers feel something entirely different — emptiness, longing, or a deep ache they can’t quite put into words.
