Micki Burns Shares Guidance on Navigating Grief During Mother’s Day on 9NEWS

May 14, 2026

This Mother’s Day, Judi’s House CEO Micki Burns appeared on 9NEWS to discuss how holidays can bring heightened emotions for those who are grieving. For many individuals and families, days like Mother’s Day can stir up feelings of grief, often surfacing a mix of emotions ranging from sadness and longing to gratitude and love.

During the interview, Micki emphasized the importance of giving yourself permission to experience whatever feelings arise. Grief is not linear, and there is no “right” way to navigate moments when grief feels especially present. Acknowledging and honoring those emotions is an important step in coping.

She also highlighted the value of connection and community, encouraging mothers to lean on trusted friends, family members, or support networks. Allowing others to walk alongside us in grief can help ease the feelings of isolation that often come with bereavement.

At Judi’s House, we know that grief doesn’t take a holiday. Support, understanding, and connection are essential every day of the year. We remain committed to providing compassionate care and resources for children, families, and communities navigating grief.
