✨ Kangaroo Care Awareness Day! ✨

Today, we’re honored to share the real stories from Connected Forever families who’ve experienced the comfort and healing power of Kangaroo Care. For some families, this was one of the few times they got to hold their baby in the NICU. Watch this heartfelt video to see how this incredible practice has impacted their journeys. We’re so grateful to be part of your healing.

✨ Connected Forever Angel Mamas gathered for a special time of connection on Bereaved Mother’s Day weekend. ✨

They shared a light brunch, meaningful conversation, and began creating baby footprint/birth flower embroidery pieces. Each stitch honoring the love they carry for their babies. 🌸👣🌼👣🌷

Angel mamas started their embroidery and are invited to continue working on their pieces together at our next meet-up on May 16. Whether they need help finishing or simply want to be in community again, we would love to have them back. 🪡🧶

Angel mamas are never alone here. 🫂
Next Angel Meet-up:

Your support helps make healing spaces like this possible. If you would like to help us continue providing free connection opportunities for grieving families, we are always grateful for your support.

✨ Mental Health Awareness Month ✨

Sometimes, the smallest shift can bring the biggest breath of fresh air.

Whether you’re navigating grief, adjusting after a NICU stay, or simply trying to find your footing, trying something new can bring light into heavy days.

Here are some ideas…paint a picture, start a playlist, plant something green, open a book you’ve never read, bake something for fun (not perfection!), or take a walk and snap a few photos.

New doesn’t have to mean big. It just means different and it just might spark a little joy, peace, or curiosity this week.

We’d love to hear from you — what’s something new you’re trying (or want to try)? Drop it in the comments and inspire another mom today.

✨ Happy Mother's Day ✨

Mother’s Day can hold so many different emotions and at Connected Forever, we honor all of them.

Today, we celebrate the strength, love, and resilience of every kind of mom in our community:
💐 NICU moms
💐 Angel moms
💐 Expecting moms
💐 Adoptive and foster moms
💐 Moms still waiting
💐 And those missing their moms today

Whether your arms are full, your heart is healing, or both we see you. Your motherhood matters. Your story matters.

If today feels heavy, you are not alone. If today feels joyful, we celebrate with you. However you’re showing up today is enough.
