Hi! Claire here... Facebook asked me, what is on my mind? And when I saw this - I realized this post represents what is on my mind A LOT.
Thank you to Zoe Clark-Coates for the wise and intentional words.

EMPATHY
SHOWING UP
HARD TIMES
LONLINESS
GRIEF
JOY
COMMUNITY

[ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cpra1Zk2N/ ]

The people who sit with you in your darkest moments, who seem to know without being told what you need, who don't flinch at your pain — they know how to do that because they have been in that valley themselves.

Empathy of that depth isn't a personality trait. It's hard-won. It's the gift that comes wrapped in something you wouldn't have chosen.

If that's you tonight, I see you. And I'm grateful you're here.

Our Executive Director, Claire Olson , contributed to this project. She knows first hand how important mental health support is during a postpartum period (loss[es] or live birth[s] ). Her personal experience of climbing, and fighting over the mountain that was PPD exemplifies how important the role of the health professional is in acknowledging and providing appropriate responses to individuals experiencing ppd.

Name it. Do what feels impossible. Heal.

NEW OFFERING👇🏽 ! Please share 🩷

At the end of 2025 we mapped out our offerings, ensuring what we take time and money to do aligned with our mission supporting health professionals working with families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.
(Some of) What we know:
👉🏽Most hospital systems don't have an established bereavement program and budget for PAIL.
👉🏽 Most bereavement support during the vulnurable moments of loss are guided by bereavement champions who are always asking for better resources and educational opportunities to best serve their patients.
👉🏽 Many L and D floors don't have a large space for supplies, so how can they provide appropriate memory making and supportive items?

OUR ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM ( because that is what we do... we listen to problems, we ask more questions and then we offer a range of solutions knowing every hospital system has different needs and resources)
💥👉🏽 Post Discharge Comfort Packages👈🏾💥
Purpose : to provide secular, free, comfort to families after they leave the hospital. And to aknowledge that their baby exists, and the grief journey doesn't start and end in the hospital.

In partnership with: / Essential 3 . Their support, ideas, collaborative spirit allows us to offer these in Indiana !

Health professional provides this postcard, and the Mama can decide when they want to receive the package. (Access to internet is needed once at home to scan qr code)
Each package is special and curated with loving hands and caring, intentional hearts. This first round is for Mommas ! However more family member options are in the works, because ALL IN THE ROOM NEED SUPPORT.

Reminder NO COST TO patient or hospital. ($50+ cost per package, including shipping)

We have enough funding to offer 35 of these packages in 2026.

Contact us to request this patient resources for your hospital (L and D, ED, clinic).

Humor isn't something people attach to bereavement. But sometimes this is all we have to hold onto in our work and grief. Both can be true: sadness and laughter.

Today Claire (who always forgets to take real pictures, but got one at the end with a willing patient) spoke to Ball State University RN senior students. They discussed bereavement, what to say, how to care for their own grief, the reality of loss and how they can bring their best to the bedside in awful moments .

The "Hidden Vital Sign"

Did you know that chronic "survival mode" in nursing actually rewires the brain’s stress response? When we stay in high-alert for 12 hours at a time, our cortisol stays peaked, making it harder to sleep, focus, and find joy outside of work.

Try the "5-4-3-2-1" grounding technique during your next lunch break. Name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you can taste. It takes 60 seconds to tell your nervous system it’s safe to decompress.

RSVP to learn more "Micro-Resilience" tools as we start our journey to A Safer Tomorrow.

Had a special guest tag along on our adventure to present in Richmond to Ivy Tech nursing students. He was a wonderful critic of Claire and the presentation "You did great Mom, not that many people were on their phones"
Tried some new engagement strategies with this group and we think it helped!
One hour is never enough time, but it is better than no information and we make the most of it ! Thank you for having us Ivy Tech - Richmond .
