For the little ones we carry in our hearts. 🤍
Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, and I’m sitting here after putting our two kids down thinking of all the families who have experienced a loss - whether their little one was with them for weeks, months, or what felt like a fleeting moment.
A couple years ago, we experienced an early pregnancy loss (a chemical pregnancy). While I still feel funny talking about it sometimes (and am honestly still wrapping my head around how I feel about it two years later), what I know for certain is that sharing about it has always helped someone to feel less alone, and that to me is so important. Please know I am always here to chat, my messages are always open for a friendly virtual hug 🫶🏻
And to the mamas who find comfort in keeping their hands busy and their minds creative - my friend Andie - Tuileries Stitching created the most beautiful motherhood needlepoint canvases (shown in the last two photos). I believe she’s reopening orders this weekend for them 🤍
Namesake Celebrations also just released beautiful in memoriam ornaments that would be a truly special way to include your baby in your family holiday traditions. And you can sponsor an ornament as well which is so incredible.
And my favorite Cowtown Clay offers the sweetest clay handprint and footprint impressions for loss parents to have a tangible way to remember their little loves 👣
Whatever your loss has looked and felt like, please know that that little life mattered and your feelings matter, too 🤍
