For hundreds of Triad mothers, the very holiday designed to honor them can instead deliver them back to the worst grief they’ve ever known.

Evette Cooper and Becky Shores, members of the grief group Compassionate Friends, meet to talk about their grief, which is especially acute on holidays like Mother’s Day.

How to Talk to A Grieving Parent
With supports in place through Compassionate Friends and other sources, such as grief counselors, bereaved moms say they still depend on friends and comradery with folks who don't share their experience.
And for those who've not lost a child, there are things you should do and say with ease to a grieving mom and things you should studiously avoid, bereaved parents agreed.
Do talk about the child who has died. Recall fond memories, share photos, anecdotes. Speak their names.
"There is nothing sweeter than the sound of your child's name,'' Shores said.
"I love it,'' said Tyler Beyea. "I talk about Emily every day, that's who I am. Emily's second grade teacher still shares pictures of Emily with me. It's great.''
Do give condolences: "The best thing you can do is say, I'm so, so sorry. Or I'm here for you. Even just sent a simple emoji,'' Tyler Beyea said.
Check in without posing the question 'How are you doing/feeling?' Let a friend know you're thinking about them by instead saying: 'Hey, I'm checking in. Let me know if you need anything' or 'I'm thinking about you.' Such phrases are better than questions requiring answers that may be too exhausting to give, Bill Beyea said.
Don't redirect conversations. When a parent speaks about their late child, let them talk.
"I'll never forget, I had a friend and every time I talked about my daughter, she would change the subject,'' Shores said. "I couldn't believe it.''
Don't say you know 'just how you feel' to a parent whose lost a child. Simply put, you can't know.
Don't compare the loss of a child to the loss of a pet. No matter how dear your four-legged family member was, the comparison is clunky at best.
Don't compare the loss of elders to the loss of a child when trying to relate.
Don't avoid eye contact with or avoid a mom who has lost her child. Simply greet her and tell her she's in your thoughts.
Don't say: 'Well, it's been XX months, I guess you're over it.' "You never get over it, you get through it,'' Cooper said.
Do ask: What can I do to help?
Do follow through. If you make a commitment to someone whose grieving, don't back away.
Do memorialize or help memorialize a child who has passed away through a dedication of a library book to a school, a donation to a food bank or charity, or a civic project in their honor.
