Before loss, there was a me who didn't know this kind of grief. Before, I dreamed freely, planned without hesitation and moved through the world with a sense of safety I didn't realize I had.

And then....everything changed.

After loss, I carry a love that has nowhere to go. Every joy is laced with absence. I see the world through a different lens. I am more aware.

I ache for the before.
I am still learning to survive the after.
I am living somewhere in the middle, taking one breath at a time.

💔 When grief keeps you awake…

Some nights, the loss of a baby feels especially heavy. When the world gets quiet, the thoughts get louder. You think about the baby you miss, the moments you dreamed of, the milestones you’ll never get to celebrate, and the future that looks different than you imagined.

Pregnancy and infant loss doesn’t end when the day is over. Grief can find you in the middle of the night, when everyone else is sleeping and your heart is aching for the little one who should be here.

Tonight, for every grieving parent lying awake with a broken heart, you are not alone.

1 in 4 pregnancies will end in miscarriage, but behind that statistic is

💜a pregnancy that was wanted
💜a baby so very loved
💜a life changed forever

Behind every numbers is a story, a name, and a love that will never end.

There is no "at least" in grief.

While you might mean well, please don't say "at least" to someone who is experiencing pregnancy or infant loss.

There is no silver lining to losing a baby.

Instead, simply say:

“I’m so sorry.”
“I’m here for you.”
“Tell me about your baby, if you want to.”

They don’t need to make their grief better.
They just need to make space for it.

You may have heard, "Miscarriage is common," when what you needed was, "I'm so sorry!"

How often it happens does not lessen what you lost, the baby you loved, the moments you imagine and the future you were already planning.

The first days, weeks, and even months after pregnancy or infant loss can feel overwhelming.

You don’t have to figure out how to navigate all of it right now.

Just focus on the step in front of you, not the entire staircase.

One moment. One breath. One step at a time.
