October 27, 2023. The day we were expecting to welcome our sweet Genevieve into the world. 🦋

Although I did not consciously remember her due date after losing her in May, my womb reminded me… effortlessly. 😔

I lost my first son, Anthony, in 2003, just seven days after Mother’s Day. Twenty years later, I experienced the heartbreak of losing my youngest daughter, Genevieve. Then less than 6 months later I lost another pregnancy.

There is something about losing a child that changes how you experience certain days, months, and seasons. Even when the mind is occupied with life, the heart remembers.

Having experienced pregnancy and infant loss three times, I am especially mindful of the mothers who are suffering in silence. The women grieving babies they never had the opportunity to bring home. The mothers carrying memories, unanswered questions, and love that has nowhere physical to go.

As we close out Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, I ask that you take a moment today to lift these women in your thoughts and prayers.

Some are grieving recent losses. Others are carrying grief that has lived quietly within them for decades.

Their babies mattered. Their motherhood matters. And their stories deserve to be acknowledged.

For Anthony, Genevieve & the one unknown 🦋🤍

September is NICU awareness month!

08/07/2026

August 7th is Purple Heart Day — a day to honor the sacrifices of the wounded and fallen. It's also a good reminder that sacrifice in military life takes many forms, including the quiet kind that happens in a NICU room or after a loss no one sees.

Continuity of Care is what happens after the hospital doors close behind you. It's the follow-up call. The referral that actually gets made. The person who remembers your baby's name three weeks later, whether you've PCS'd or you're still down the street from where it all happened.

For military families especially, care doesn't get to end just because orders change. We built our Continuity of Care pillar so support travels with you, from one installation to the next, one time zone to the next.

Today, we honor every family carrying something heavy. You're not carrying it alone.

You are allowed to ask questions in the NICU.

Military family or not, one of the hardest parts of a NICU stay or high-risk pregnancy is feeling like you have to just go along with what's happening to your body or your baby. You don't.

Part of our Advocacy pillar is simple: helping families find the words to ask their care team hard questions, understand their options, and feel like a partner in their own care, not a bystander.

A few we hear often:
→ What does this diagnosis mean for the next 24 hours, and for the long term?
→ What would you want to know if this were your family?
→ Who is my point of contact if something changes overnight?

You deserve clear answers, delivered with compassion, whether you're at a hospital down the street or one across an ocean from your support system. That's what we advocate for, every day.

A high-risk pregnancy doesn't check your orders.

Whether you're stationed here in the U.S. or overseas, navigating a NICU stay, a complicated pregnancy, or the loss of a baby while your family is also managing deployments, PCS moves, and long stretches without extended family nearby is its own kind of hard.

That's why Faces of H.O.P.E. exists — to make sure no military family walks that road without a hand to hold.

Our NICU Navigation Kits and Hope Anchored Bereavement Guides are built specifically with military life in mind: portable, easy to personalize, and ready to hand a family exactly when they need it most, at discharge, not weeks later.

This month, we're focusing on our three pillars: Education, Advocacy, and Continuity of Care and what they look like for military families whether you're CONUS or OCONUS. 💛

Military life brings unique challenges to pregnancy. Every military mother deserves access to consistent information, support, and continuity of care wherever duty calls.

07/13/2026

No mother should have to navigate the NICU alone. Compassionate education and trusted resources can make every step feel a little less overwhelming.

The Most Important Part of Healthcare Often Happens AFTER the Appointment!

Healthcare providers work with the patients to create treatment plans and provide answers to their questions; however, I've learned that what happens after the appointment often determines whether those plans become reality.

Does the patient understand what was discussed?

Can they afford the medication?

Do they know why the follow-up matters?

Do they have transportation?

Do they know who to call if something changes?

For someone who's worked in healthcare, those questions may seem routine.

For someone navigating a high-risk pregnancy, a NICU stay, pregnancy loss, or a chronic illness for the first time, they can feel overwhelming.

This is why education matters.

Not because people aren't capable.

Because no one should be expected to become an expert in healthcare while also trying to heal.

One conversation.

One follow-up.

One resource.

One person willing to explain things one more time.

Sometimes those small moments become the reason someone feels confident enough to move forward.

Healthcare is more than treatment.

It's helping people understand what comes next.

Partners Need Support Too

A PPROM diagnosis impacts the entire family.

Partners often juggle work responsibilities, caregiving duties, financial concerns, and emotional stress while supporting their loved one.

Let's remember to support fathers, spouses, partners, and caregivers throughout the journey.

Strong families need strong support systems.

06/16/2026

Not Every NICU Journey Looks the Same

Some babies born after PPROM spend days in the NICU.
Others spend weeks or months.

Every milestone matters.

Every ounce gained matters.

Every family deserves encouragement, education, and support along the way.
