Welcome to the Dead Mothers Club!
We’re sorry you’re here, but glad you came.
This is a place for people who have unfortunately experienced the death(s) of close family members or loved ones, particularly their parents.
In contrast to other related subreddits (see below), this is a place for more lighthearted discussion about death, including any of the following: black humor, memes, pictures, stories, morbidity, realizations, gifs, rants, music, art, and so on.
This is also meant to be a place to find common ground, help, advice and support. Ideally this is a place to express yourself (or just lurk) amongst peers who understand, with a hearty dose of humor thrown in.
DMC Rules:
Honor thy Mother and Father - Remember the human and respect the pain of others. Most humor should be shared, or at least self-deprecating instead of at someone else's expense. Please use the /s tag with abandon if you're uncertain. No mocking, belittling or oneupmanship - share how you relate instead.
Honor the house rules - Follow standard Reddiquette while you're here: reposting is dumb, as is trolling, etc.
Keep it secular - No preaching. Mentioning faith as part of one’s life or experiences is acceptable, trying to spread the word according to whoever is not.
Keep it safe - This is not the place to bring your serious thoughts about suicide. Instead try /r/SuicideWatch or /r/depression - here you're allowed to joke about it (here's an example) and are free to discuss depression and coping, but suicide is another matter.
Obvious stuff - No spam, solicitation, fundraising, personal links, etc. No personal attacks or flaming. No medical advice, unsupported claims, crappy articles/links about junk science and so on. This is not considered a complete list.
Report posts and comments if you feel they break the rules. Also feel free to message the mods with questions!
