This research exposes what’s long been ignored in maternal health: the fact that grief doesn’t end with birth, it deepens. Too many mothers are left isolated and misdiagnosed by a system that never asks the simplest question: “Do you have maternal support?”
Download the report“When I became a mum, I thought I could outlove the grief, that if I poured everything into my baby, I wouldn’t feel the ache of doing it without my own mum. But the truth is, grief doesn’t fade when new life begins; it grows. It sits beside the joy. This campaign exists because no woman should have to mother in silence. We’re finally recognising the invisible struggles of mothering after loss.”
