If you searched "I'm a loss mother and I..." what would you want to see fill in the blank? πŸ’œ

For so many parents walking through pregnancy loss, the hardest moments come in the quiet, when grief feels isolating and the world keeps moving without you. But you matter. You are worthy of good things. You are strong. Your body is not your enemy. And you deserve love, especially from yourself.

At Through the Heart, we walk alongside loss parents through their darkest moments β€” because no one should have to carry this alone.

Throwback to our first big fundraiser on October 17, 2015, a night we'll never forget. Chelsea pulled off something truly special for Through the Heart, handling every detail from the venue to the band to the auction so families experiencing pregnancy loss would feel supported and seen. We just showed up and were blown away. Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it. πŸ’›

If you or someone you love has experienced pregnancy loss, our Comfort Kits were made with you in mind. πŸ’™

Each kit is thoughtfully assembled to offer a small moment of self-care and remembrance during an overwhelming time, including a journal, fuzzy socks, a worrystone, shower steamer, hand cream, forget-me-not seeds, and more. Every kit also includes a handwritten note from our co-founder, sent with care and understanding.

Comfort Kits are available on a pay-what-you-can basis β€” because cost should never be a barrier to support. You can request a kit for yourself or for someone you know.

πŸ“’ Still needed: Research participants!

UIC researchers are halfway to their goal and need your help to get there. If you experienced a miscarriage in the last 2 years and were working full-time at the time, you may be eligible to participate in an important study on pregnancy loss and workplace leave policies.

Your experience could directly shape better protections for workers going through pregnancy loss. πŸ’™

πŸ‘‰ Check if you qualify: go.uic.edu/leavestudy

Please share with anyone who might be eligible β€” every participant gets them closer to findings that can make a real difference.

We need to talk about what pregnancy loss looks like years later.

Our co-founder Karen Kelly recently joined Tabitha Jamieson on the Miscarriages & Milestones podcast for an honest conversation about the long-term impact of pregnancy loss β€” because grief doesn't follow a timeline, and too many people are still carrying this weight in silence, years after their loss.

This is exactly the kind of conversation Through the Heart was built for: naming what's real, breaking the silence, and making sure no one has to grieve alone.

If this resonates with you, share this post or reach out to learn how to get involved. ❀

If you are missing a child you never got to bring home, please remember that your love is seen, your grief is real, and your child is remembered.
