A MUM from a town near Glasgow has designed a range of special Mother's Day cards to support a grief counselling charity.

Louise Major, from the Hillhead area of Kirkintilloch, aims to help those who lost their mothers feel less isolated and may even bring them a smile thanks to their unique style and broad Glaswegian wording.

To support grief counselling charity Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland, £1.50 from each card will be donated to them.

The designer said: “Sometimes, the worry is if we ‘bring it up’ it might lead to upsetting or challenging emotions.

"The reality is, these people are processing and thinking about their loss every day - supporting them or reaching out to say you're thinking of them isn't going to mean adding to their pain but it can mean breaking down the isolation they might feel, and showing them you're there if they want to chat.”​

“I loved designing both the thoughtful cards and the others with a bit more of the Glesga slant put on them!

"This range of cards is really special, not just because it could make a difference to the recipient but also, it's going to make a difference to those who really benefit from the vital service that Cruse Scotland provides.

"I’ve had people get in touch saying they love the designs and have had lots of requests for custom poems and cards which is an honour to do.”

The cards are currently available to buy on ‘Majorly Crafty’ social media pages in time for Mothering Sunday.

Scott Maxwell, Community Fundraising and Events Manager, Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland, said: “We’re so grateful to Louise for her support in such a brilliant way.

"One in five people struggle to cope with their grief following the death of a loved one and need additional, professional support. It’s thanks to people like Louise that we can offer hope when the future seems empty.”
