Mothers Find Strength in Shared Grief

Mothers who’ve lost children to violence gathered in Jacksonville for the sixth annual “Angel of Mine” brunch, a healing sanctuary created by the Silent Women Speaking Foundation. Traveling from across the country, they shared stories, honored their children, and found solace in sisterhood. Taunya Irish, who arrived just four months after her son’s tragic death during a mental health crisis, spoke of the devastating escalation that led to his fatal shooting. She credited the event with giving her the strength to grieve openly. Keynote speaker Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin, reminded attendees that healing is a long journey requiring self-care, and she affirmed that every child matters — urging mothers to keep going, trusting in a higher power, no matter their child’s circumstances. This powerful gathering is a moving tribute to resilience, love, and the unbreakable bonds forged through shared loss. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
