Unveiling the Unseen Wounds: Navigating Maternal Mortality and Family Trauma

In the quiet corners of grief, where words often fail, there exists an unspoken pain that only those who have lost a mother, daughter, sister, or friend to maternal mortality can truly understand. At DSMAP, we recognize the profound impact of this silent struggle on families and aim to open a dialogue that sheds light on the complexities of maternal mortality’s aftermath.

The Unseen Trauma: Maternal Mortality’s Ripple Effect

Maternal mortality not only claims the lives of mothers but sends shockwaves of trauma through families, leaving scars that run deep. Beyond the statistics lies the untold stories of grief, confusion, and the struggle to rebuild shattered lives.

Families find themselves grappling with emotional upheaval, financial strain, and the void left by a beloved mother. The trauma extends beyond the immediate loss, seeping into daily life and relationships, creating a landscape of challenges that are often invisible to the outside world.

Breaking the Silence: Your Stories Matter

At DSMAP, we believe that every story holds the power to heal, to inspire, and to affect change. We invite adult children (18 or older) who have lost their mothers to maternal mortality to share their experiences. Your narrative can be a beacon for others navigating this challenging journey, offering solace, and understanding.
