Recent story:

Hi there! I came across your beautiful offer to provide Owlet monitors to families expecting rainbow babies, and I just wanted to reach out. I'm currently expecting my rainbow baby boy, due on September 8, 2025.
This pregnancy has been full of mixed emotions. So much joy, but also a lot of anxiety after experiencing the loss of our previous baby. It’s hard to put into words how deeply that loss impacted us, and as excited as we are to meet our son, there’s a constant worry in the back of my mind. We aren’t in a position to afford an Owlet monitor ourselves, but having one would truly bring so much peace of mind. Just knowing we could keep a closer eye on him, especially in those early days, would ease a lot of our fears and help us focus more on bonding and healing. Thank you so much for offering this kind of support to families like mine. It really means more than words can say.

Happy (belated) National Daughters Day to my beautiful daughters!

To my amazing daughter Aria Jane - you are the light in my days, my bff, my beautiful hearted, fierce and strong (and stubborn!) warrior girl. You have 3 brothers and you even scare them 😆 We love you infinitely and are so blessed by the miracle of amazing you!!

To Braelynn and Avery - The day we lost you girls, I truly believed that maybe I wasn't meant to be a mom. That maybe the intense yearning in my soul, the love that I had to give, might be misplaced...but it was just the beginning. God answered our prayers in the most unexpected, beautiful and perfect ways. His plans for us were so much bigger and better than we could have ever dreamed.

You two will forever be the girls that made me a mom...and also the ones who gave me the most unshakable faith that God makes beauty from ashes. I love you always and forever! Thank you for teaching us through our pain that God is the God of miracles always

Emails like this reinforce the work we are doing behind the scenes each day...thank you God for entrusting us to help another loss family have some peace of mind! 🙏🙏🙏

My name is Lacy and I wanted to find out if I might be eligible for an owlet sock. My situation is a little different. I had a five year old son who died in his sleep. He had a rare neurotransmitter disease and I woke up one day to find him unresponsive. I tried to revive him while calling paramedics but I couldn't get him back. I never intended on having another child but I found myself pregnant and due in July...with another little boy. They even shared the same due date. My current baby was born two months early and spent over a month in the nicu. We are newly home and I find myself experiencing PTSD. I keep thinking I see him not breathing. I wake him up when he's napping because he's too settled and it makes me nervous. I'm getting therapy to work through the trauma but an owlet would give me such a piece of mind. I'm not sure if I would be eligible but I would be happy to pass it on if we got one. Im so scared of losing this baby, and I'm scared I'm not going to enjoy him now as an infant because of the stress. We are financially struggling from the nicu stay, so I can't afford to buy one myself. Any help would be a gift unlike any other. I really appreciate your consideration!

"Hug from heaven" - a term coined by our very dear friends Angela and Drew who will forever be our greatest comforts and earthly teachers in those early days after our loss. These divine coincidences made such a huge impact on us ur road through fried, allowing us the spiritual connection to God and to our angels who were with us every step of the way...

We had a hug from heaven today from baby Koah who was born sleeping this morning at 3:38am...

As we sat at the bedside with Koah's mom and dad before delivery , we told them about the amazing nurse that delivered our girls. She had also lost her son over 20 years ago and it was such a comfort to to have someone who was by my side who had been through it. When I was scared to see them, she handed me my babies without any question. God truly put her in our lives and we were so grateful. She won't ever truly know her impact on us!!

Today I picked up my kids from camp and drove them to grab some lunch. Suddenly my daughter shouted that she had to p*e and couldn't hold it, so we stopped at the closest place to run in and use the bathroom.

As I rushed thru the door I looked over and immediately was shocked to see that sitting at a table was our very own nurse from that awful,, tragic night... I rushed over at once to hug her and we held each other for a long moment both with tears in our eyes. I told her Koah's story and I thanked her once again for helping to change our lives that tragic day over 8 years ago which also helped us to pay it forward and to be there for others....

We shouted our love for each other as I left the restaurant and at that moment I just knew our babies were with us. God brought these people into our lives and Bravery and Koah sent us a sign that they are up there shining down having the time of their lives with Jesus and in the most perfect peace!! 👼 👼 👼

We have received several calls/messages in the last few weeks about parents who are going through the loss of their baby. The most common question we get is: How can I help them?

While there is no right answer for this, I can say from our experience that being present and grieving with us was the most valuable thing we received. Just knowing that our daughters' death impacted others greatly was somehow so comforting to us. It helped us feel seen and loved. It also meant so much to have our loved ones just be present without any expectation...sit with us, grieve with us, love us unconditionally.

If you know someone who is willing experiencing a loss, just be present...reach out and don't expect a response; pray for them and with them; grieve with them and show them that their baby matters. This means more than any gift money can buy!

Please join Bravery in praying for these families who are experiencing the sudden loss of their baby and who are about to face the awful decision on how to move forward...There is nothing more traumatic than losing your child!
