Tributes to Mothers

Are you dealing with the loss of a mother? This is the place for you. Although I am sorry for your loss and often wish death wasn’t a part of life, here you will find tributes written by others who have experienced the loss of a mother.

Everyone lives with sorrow in different ways. Some find they have a multitude of grief emotions to work with.

Others find it helpful to make memory books to keep the memories and stories alive. This is helpful both for your own healing and also for the younger generation learn about their roots. If you are creating a memory book, you can use the tribute form below to ask friends and family to contribute stories for the book. Simply create your own tribute. Then email the link or post it to Facebook asking people to post stories in the comments form. Then you will have a lot of stories in one place to start your memory book.

You can also join Memory-Of.com, the worlds largest community of online memorials to create a comprehensive online memorial. They will allow you to post video, music and many photos and stories.

Looking for Ideas for Tributes for Mothers?

One of the best tributes I have listened to was written by my uncle at the death of his dad, my grandfather. My grandfather was a farmer and my uncle used the working of the soil, planting, harvesting, and feeding of livestock as metaphors for how my grandfather related to people in life. Metaphors create beautiful pictures with words and help people understand something in a deeper way. So consider using a metaphor as part of your tribute to your mother.

  • Read the tributes of others.
  • Reflect on some of the things your mom taught you as a child and how she raised you.
  • Think about the best times you had with your mom.
  • Tell about the example your mom set for you in adult life.
  • Write what your learned from your mom about relating to people and family.
  • Write a letter to your mom about the things you would love to say to her if she were still here with you
