In 2009 the Child Bereavement Charity launched a major awareness campaign focused on Mother's Day, March 22nd 2009. The campaign came about as a result of conversations with bereaved parents and children who have told us how difficult occasions like Mother's Day and Father's Day can be for them when someone important in the family has died.
The Child Bereavement Charity asks people to spare a thought for those mothers bereaved of a child or those children bereaved of their Mum, on Mother's Day and every day.
