All this pain has been focused into purpose.
We are so proud to share the soft launch of the Vilomah Conference, a first-of-its-kind, peer-led, full-day conference created for bereaved parents and the people who support them.
Vilomah is a Sanskrit word meaning “out of order”, used to describe a parent who has outlived their child. There is no word in English for that kind of loss, but there should be language, space, and support for the parents who live it every day.
This conference will bring together real conversations, speakers, interactive workshops, wellness spaces, accessible resources, and different pathways to healing and support.
A day for connection, education, remembrance, and community.

This is what finding peace in grief looks like sometimes.
It was a beautiful warm and sunny day, but we weren’t feeling particularly sunny.
We have important work to do and the plan was to meet for coffee and strategize.
This day coffee and work came with us to the cemetery.
We worked, we got excited & scared, we sat and said nothing, we laughed, we cried, and we spoke of and with our boys who are no longer here 🕊️
This day, grief was heavier to carry so we brought her with us.
This day we persevered to continue using our pain to be purposeful.
We found joy in the least expected place.
❤️💜

The Compassionate Friends of Canada is an international peer support network for parents following the death of a child at any age or from any cause.
Please, do not feel pressure to register - you are welcome to just show up.
When a child dies, our feelings of devastation and pain are overwhelming. Nothing can prepare us, not the death of friends or family or even our own mortality. We expect our children to outlive us, and the shattering of this expectation is unique and complex and is not like any other loss.
If you, a friend, or family member could use our support - reach out [email protected]

Cemetery is packed.
Lots of cars, watering cans and laughter…
A few sibling reunions.
Every year they give out carnations, symbols of deep affection and admiration. 🌺
I lit an incense, cleaned up and left.
I have loud rap songs to play for my son and dances to dance. I will leave everyone to a peaceful day at the gardens where love lives loudly. 😊
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who can have it be that.🫂
Thank you to for the right words when I had none. 🙏🏽
