We know the loss of a mother doesn’t happen all at once. It unfolds over a lifetime of milestones: holidays, her birthday, and the anniversary of her passing - and quiet, everyday moments like walking down the cereal aisle or reaching for the phone to call her.
We’re here for you for all of it.
Our mission is simple: to uplift women navigating life without their mothers, one handwritten note and heartfelt connection at a time.
At The Mourning Post,
From Me To You
Hi, I’m Jaemi.
I joined the Motherless Daughters Club in 2015, just three days shy of my 31st birthday. Four and half years later to the day, I had a daughter of my own, and officially joined the Motherless Mothers Club, too.
My mom’s superpower was her thoughtfulness. She remembered not only big milestones, but also the small moments in between. She always had a drawer full of greeting cards ready to be sent with an encouraging note.
She had perfect handwriting and taught me how to write in cursive at the kitchen table after dinner. Most importantly, she taught me the art of a handwritten note, and the relationships they foster.
A lot has changed since 2015, but the one thing that hasn’t is my desire to use my grief for good. I started The Mourning Post with my daughter to support and celebrate motherless mothers and motherless daughters as they bravely navigate their grief journeys.
We wish you didn’t have to be here, but we’re glad you found us.
Jaemi
P.S. I am also the creator of The Dead Ringer, a collective grief project on a mission to inspire The Living to stay connected with The Dead—one phone call at a time. When you’re ready, pick up the phone, and pick up where you left off.
From Hana, Too!
Hi, I’m Hana!
I’m five years old, and I just graduated Kindergarten!
I love reading, cooking and baking, and playing with my stuffies.
I am an artist. I help my mom with The Mourning Post by making decisions about the designs. I also draw all of the pictures for the cards!
I like helping people feel happy in their hearts.
Sincerely, Love,
Hana
