A Mother's Day tribute to moms who buried their children due to police and gun violence

Today is Mother’s Day, a time of celebration for many families across the U.S. It’s a time of gathering, and a time of joy. But for others it is a time of pain or remembrance, perhaps because someone’s mom is no longer living.

There are also households where mothers are weeping because their child has been ripped away, never again to sit at the family dining table, never again to buy a Mother’s Day card or give mom a hug and a smile.

Take a few moments today as you celebrate your mom to think of the mothers who sit at a table with an empty chair.

Say a prayer—if you pray—or simply pause for a moment of silence and empathy.
