AJR 181 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates May of each year as "Mothers' Grief Awareness Month."

This New Jersey bill designates May of each year as "Mothers' Grief Awareness Month" to honor mothers who have lost children and to raise awareness about the mental health challenges they face. The resolution requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the month with appropriate activities and programs. By aligning this observance with Mother's Day, the bill aims to ensure that grieving mothers are recognized and supported rather than feeling forgotten on a day that may otherwise cause them pain.
