Libby Rose: Dear Santa
This mama to her beautiful Beatrice wrote a letter to Santa, and it’s really gorgeous ❤ She asks Santa for 5 things this year, including remembering, letter her rest, and giving her daughter a gift. She writes: My baby died a few years ago; she was perfect but, unfortunately for us, she was stillborn. I…
“My baby was stillborn but I still want the world to know him.”
Thanks so much to Ann-Maree for sending in this wonderful post about her beautiful son, Xavier, and telling the world all about him. Here’s a part I love: I’ve realised that our ‘modern society’ is not so modern when it comes to talking about stillbirth and grief. But I don’t think it’s deliberate. People freeze because they…

Proud Mama
I am a proud Mama because I carried life in me for 30 weeks. My womb is the only home my daughter ever knew and I did my best to take care of her while she resided there. I know that while she was there she only knew love and comfort. I am a proud…
Everything happens for a reason? Yeah, right.
Thanks so much to Amy Lied for submitting this post from her own blog to feature on our site! From Amy: I feel like a lot of people can related to this post after loss. There is no reason we lost our children. It just happened to us. Nothing will ever be a satisfactory explanation for why…
Flying for Time by Caitlin Robbins: Raising Money for a CuddleCot
Hi mamas, Most of you in the loss community have, at some point, learned about the CuddleCot. My husband and I knew nothing about them until long after we had lost our son, but there are so many days I wish our hospital had one on hand that hard day in October. Every parent deserves…
Things I Will Never Know About My Daughter
When my daughter died at 37 weeks, my world came crashing down around me. The universe became a raw, emotional, sad place. Each day that I survived was a miracle and every moment that I lived and she didn’t, felt like a curse. Shortly in the beginning of our healing process, I remember my husband…
Diving Into Reflection
I’ve had an interaction that has sent me reeling. You know, the kind of conversation that leaves you examining every inch of your life and overturning every thought in your mind. The questions that were asked of me were the most difficult questions I’ve been asked in my journey. I spent some time heavily immersed…
Surviving the Aftermath
Featured photo credit: Paulina Rozpondek It’s been four years since my daughter was stillborn and what once seemed completely impossible isn’t so impossible anymore. I have survived. That is something I did not think I would be able to do after losing Zia. I am able to stand, smile and laugh about silly things. I…
Would She Know Me?
It happens all the time. I see a little girl; a year and a half old, brown hair, a curious smile and I think, “That could be Dorothy.” My breath catches in my throat as I watch her toddle back to her parents so she can be lifted into their arms. I would know her…
