Today is International Bereaved Mother's Day. Whether you choose to honor today, next weekend, both, or neither, give yourself permission to do what feels right for you. Be gentle with your heart and remember, you are still a mother 💐

Five years ago today we found out we were having a baby boy. Our firstborn, Lincoln Brion 👼

It was one of the happiest days. We already had his name picked out and could hardly wait to learn who I was carrying. These photos were taken just after the nurse called with the results. I was wrapping up the first trimester, that milestone when sharing the news is generally “safe.” These are the pictures we used to announce him publicly for the first time. Dancing by the lake feeling pure joy. A moment in time I’d like to relive.

Looking back, I’m so grateful we chose to find out the gender early. It gave our baby boy an identity. It gave us his name. It gave us six months to bond with him, pray over him, dream about him, and love him intentionally.

We miss him every single day. And even now, we still find ourselves dreaming about who he would be and what his life might look like.

Forever loved. Forever our son 🤍

Thank You! 🧸

Because of your generosity, Loved by Lincoln was able to donate 57 teddy bears to local Washington hospitals in 2025.

Each bear represents comfort for grieving families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss, so they don’t have to leave the hospital with empty arms.

For families who had to say goodbye to their baby before hello, this small gesture can provide a lifetime of comfort. As bereaved parents ourselves, we know how deeply meaningful this support truly is.

Thank you for standing with us and supporting a mission that is so close to our hearts. We wish everyone a happy, healthy New Year!

There is no comfort in losing you, except knowing my love is all you knew… 🪻🪻🪻

Nothing will ever take away the love I had for you, even if you were gone far…far too soon.

I will never “get over” loving you, as long as I live you’re part of my family too.

DON’T ASK, JUST ACT

It’s common for people to say “Let me know if you need anything.”
However, as we experienced ourselves, someone who is deeply wrapped in grief is often too overwhelmed to know what they need or have the energy to ask for help.

We greatly appreciated those that proactively provided help. We can honestly say we never reached out to anyone who just offered “let me know if you need anything,” however heartfelt the offer was.

Some ideas that may be helpful to a grieving family could be:

- Bringing meals, or providing gift cards for food delivery.

- Simply be there, say you are coming over, and if they don’t refuse, simply sitting in silence and having your presence can be a comfort.

- Providing help with yard work, household chores, cleaning or help with any other daily activities.

- Sending flowers is a comforting way to show you are thinking of them.

Day 7: Wave of Light 🕯️

Tonight we light a flame, in memory of your name.
At 7pm around the world others will do the same.

On October 15th, we remember each of you,
a candle for each baby gone too soon.

We light our candles with love and remember,
how each of your lives changed ours forever.

As each small flame for our little ones unite,
they join together and form a beautiful Wave of Light.

Day 6: Stillborn, Still Loved

There isn’t a day that passes when I don’t think of my sweet Lincoln. Even as I hold his baby brothers close, there’s a quiet part of me that still reaches for him.
Nathan wrote this poem for me on Mother’s Day last year, and he captured the emotions in my heart so beautifully.
The ache of missing Lincoln, the quiet fear of him being forgotten, and the gentle reassurance that he never will be 👼
Even as we raise our living children and the seasons continue to change, Lincoln’s memory remains woven into every part of our lives. It’s a reminder that love doesn’t stop where life ends.
My love for him is in every candle I light, every prayer I whisper, every breath, I take in gratitude for the time I had. He may not be in my arms, but he’s forever part of our family story.

Love never ends.�I love you still, Lincoln. Always will.

Day 5: Pregnancy After Loss

Pregnancy is never easy. Pregnancy after loss brings a sobering truth, that not every pregnancy ends with a healthy baby. It can rob parents of the carefree joy of dreaming about the future, replacing it with vigilance and fear.
Every milestone is met with both hope and hesitation, each heartbeat a moment of both relief and anxiety. The innocence once felt may be gone, replaced by a deeper awareness of how fragile life can be.
But within that fragility lies incredible strength. Parents who have walked through loss know the depth of love that begins long before birth. They carry both the memory of the baby they lost and the hope for the one they now hold close in their hearts. Every ultrasound, every quiet kick, every day that passes is a victory, a reminder that life, no matter how brief or uncertain, is sacred.
Pregnancy after loss is not about replacing one child with another. It’s about learning to hold joy and grief in the same hands, to let love stretch wide enough to hold both. And though the journey may be marked by fear, it is also filled with profound gratitude. Because each child, whether here for a moment or a lifetime, is a true miracle, a gift from God, entrusted to us for however long we are given.
At Loved by Lincoln, we walk alongside families navigating this delicate journey. To honor every child by bringing comfort, awareness, and hope to other families walking through pregnancy loss and life after 🕊️

Day 4: Grief

Grief is a journey, one full of mixed emotions with no clear end in sight. When you lose a baby, you lose not only their life but the future you imagined with them.
Grief after baby loss can feel isolating and confusing. It can look different for everyone, even between spouses or partners. One may find comfort in talking while the other stays quiet. One may want to visit the cemetery, the other may find it too painful. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, only the way that helps you survive each day. Give each other grace.
It’s okay to smile again. It’s okay to laugh. Finding joy in your new normal doesn’t mean you’ve forgotten your baby. You can hold space for both joy and sorrow, hope and fear, love and loss. The emotions are messy and often conflicting, and that’s okay.
With time, grief may soften as you learn to grow around it, but it never truly goes away. The ache will always live somewhere deep within you, a reminder of a love so powerful.
You may notice the world moving on when you’re standing still. Babies in grocery store aisles, families in parks, little fingers curled around their parents’ hands, each sight is a tender reminder of what should have been. And in those moments, your heart may break all over again.
It’s okay to grieve your baby, the life you dreamed of, the milestones that never came, the love you still hold. Be gentle with yourself. Know that your baby knew your love and would be proud of the way you carry them forward.

Your story matters. Your baby matters. And you are never alone. 🕊️

If you are a friend or family member of someone who has experienced this loss, please know that you are grieving too, and your care matters deeply. Pregnancy and infant loss can feel uncomfortable to talk about, and it’s normal not to know what to say. The most meaningful support often comes from simple acts of love and acknowledgment. Learn what brings comfort to the bereaved parent and honor their baby in ways that show you remember.

To those who continuously show up for me year-after-year and remember Lincoln, thank you. 🫶
