The Million Women of "March"
Thank you for inquiring about The Million Women of March. This is a social media platform that was established to give mothers who have lost a child a place to connect, share, and heal. It is an opportunity to bond with other women around the world that can identify with the experience and pain that accompany such a lost. We understand how hard it is for many people to comprehend the depth of this experience that impacts your mind, body, and spirit. Our one desire is that you begin to understand that you truly are not alone. This loss crosses the boundaries of land, sea, culture, community, and society. In connecting with us, I hope that you find connectivity in a way that healing can begin, continue, and come to its fullness. We understand that this group may not be for everyone. Still, we are here if you need us.
My Story
March is the month that my life changed forever. On March 15, 2015 I lost my oldest son in a car accident in the state of Oregon. Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to face and no one could have told me what this journey would take from me or add to my life. Through much pain and sorrow, a light of hope began to shimmer in a distance. Linking arms with other women like myself, the healing process began. As empty places within me began to be filled, destiny was pulling me to travel a road called, "Now What"?
We Are In This Together
The loss of a loved one is not the group that anyone would choose to be a part of. But, it chooses you. As we find ourselves with emotions that cannot be expressed through language, we find the courage to say farewell in ways that words cannot comfort; touch cannot soothe; and life itself cannot explain. Still we must find a way to be okay with that day.
There is comfort in knowing that you are not alone. We are here to build community and comfort one another in healing and wellness. We are aware that this group may not be for everyone. But it is our hope that you will find your people with us.
