Welcome to The Empty Cradle.
However, you describe yourself. However, you got here.
Not being a Mum, really bruised your heart, in fact, it probably broke it.
We get it. We live with a similar heartache.
Yet here we are crafting humble, and often deeply satisfying lives without kids.
Come join us. As we find a way through this together.
The Empty Cradle is a healing and support service for women who are childless-not-by-choice. We support you to grieve the loss of motherhood and craft a life of connection, meaning and joy.
Come join us. As we journey into wholeness together.
Our Founder - SARAH ROBERTS
Childlessness Grief Counsellor, Group Facilitator, Professional Trainer & Lived Experience Advocate
"An empty cradle does not mean an empty life. I know because I’ve been there"
With over 35 years of counselling, community education and training, Sarah brought together a unique combination of lived experience, professional skills and academic inquiry to found the Empty Cradle.
Sarah describes permanent involuntary childlessness as one of the sacred journeys of adult womanhood.
“At its heart, the loss of motherhood is a love story. Every grieving woman has opened her heart to her unborn child, to the challenges of motherhood and the possibilities of new life. The depth of your pain mirrors the depth of your love”.
A creator, teacher and healer, Sarah is passionate about the human experience and what it means to live a good life.
