Kristin Mundy - Birth, Loss and PAL Support

Kristin Mundy - Birth, Loss and PAL Support I’ve been walking with families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season for over 8 years. So I created it. I’m so glad you found your way here 🤍

and be sure to check out my other links I’m Kristin Mundy—birth, postpartum, and bereavement doula, childbirth educator, podcast host, and mother of three: my daughter Sena, who I hold in my arms, and

my babies Vienna and William, who I hold in my heart. After experiencing four pregnancy losses, I found myself navigating a path that felt incredibly lonely… especially when I became pregnant again. I quickly realized that the kind of support mothers need in life after loss—real, honest, compassionate support—was missing. At The Doula Life, I support women through every stage of this journey—
whether you are grieving, trying to conceive again, pregnant after loss, or parenting after loss. Because this isn’t just about getting through it…
it’s about having a place where you feel held, understood, and supported in what can feel like the most complex and tender seasons of your life. Inside this space, you’ll find:
🤍 Birth, postpartum, and bereavement education and workshops
🤍 Mother Like No Other—a community for women trying to navigate their life after loss
🤍 The Haven—a deeply supportive space for mothers who are pregnant after loss
🤍 The Rainbow Connection Podcast—a place where we share the stories of our angel babies and the babies who come after

No matter where you are in your journey there is space for you here. My mission is to support mothers who are living in the “after”—after grief, after goodbye, after loss—especially those now holding new life while still carrying love for the babies they will never forget. If that’s you, please know: you are not alone, and you don’t have to do this without support.

… or coming home to a house that was ready to welcome her home

the little outfits washed and folded
the bassinet lovingly place beside the bed
the nursery with the perfect wallpaper
the baby shower gifts, still waiting to be put away
the sanitized bottles

all of it ready… for a baby who wasn’t coming home

you weren’t just pregnant.. you were ready
there was no doubt in your mind that your baby was coming home
and now you are navigating birth, saying goodbye, postpartum, and grief… in a life that was built for someone who isn’t here

stillbirth is still birth
no one could ever be fully prepared to go through losing your baby, but Held Through Third Trimester Loss was created to hold you through every part of this

it will hold you through your birth, the impossible decisions, and the life changing moments you get to have with your baby

it will hold you through the postpartum season that comes after. and it will hold you through the grief of coming home to a life that was ready — and having to figure out how to live in it anyway

and if you are carrying a life-limiting diagnosis or had to say goodbye to your baby in the NICU… it will hold you through that too

you don’t have to go through this alone

by monday you are expected to be back at your desk… back to normal… back to your old self

but nobody sees what you are actually carrying

just because “it is so common” doesn’t mean it is normal. it doesn’t make it hurt less. it doesn’t make the future you had already imagined any less real. it doesn’t make the baby you already loved any less yours

and while the world moves on… your body is still in it

maybe you are still in the middle of it
maybe you are still waiting
maybe you are actively bleeding
maybe you are still chasing your hcg down to zero
maybe your hormones are crashing and nobody warned you that was coming

and maybe you haven’t told anyone
maybe you are carrying all of this completely alone

mama, your loss is real. your grief is real. your baby was real

that’s exactly what Held Through First Trimester Loss was built for

it will walk you through what’s actually happening in your body — the diagnosis, your options, and what to expect physically at every stage

it will hold you through the decisions nobody prepares you for — including the ones that happen after

it will support you through the postpartum that follows — because your body still went through postpartum, even with empty arms

and it will hold space for your grief — the isolation, the secondary losses, the grief nobody else seems to understand

Held Through is video support you can come back to again and again… you can watch it from your bed, your couch, wherever you need to be. it comes with a workbook so you have something to hold onto too

you do not have to carry this alone.

PSA: you can be grateful as hell and still have struggles, especially around this time 🫶🏼

toxic positivity or “should be’s…” are the perfect way to make any loss mom, or any mom really, run for the hills

i know, i knooooow we have good intentions. we just want to make our loved one feel better — but if you want to really be there for them, if you really want to make them feel better, the best way to do that is to learn how to hold space. to sit in the discomfort WITH them. you’d be amazed at how much mastering this skill can positively effect all of your relationships:

- be present, physically and mentally
- minimize your own thoughts or opinions
- practice active listening (acknowledge their emotions, validate their experience without minimizing)
- try to understand their perspective (you can ask questions!)
- show empathy and compassion
- this ones hard… avoid offering advice or trying to fix anything

next time, maybe try… “i’d love to hear more about that”

sometimes we aren’t looking for a fix — or wanting to look on “the bright side”. sometimes, we just need someone to hold the space — to be a supportive presence as we navigate something difficult. sometimes, we just need to feel heard, understood and safe 🤍🌷

do you have anyone in your life that’s been able to show up as this safe space for you? tag them and let them know 🫶🏼

our private community chat,
a growing resource binder,
and a space to be held alongside other women who truly understand

this is a big month…
with bereaved mother’s day and mother’s day both ahead

if you’re needing extra support right now, we would love to hold you inside. a space where you don’t have to explain yourself
and where you can be seen in all that you’re carrying

🤍 if you are navigating life after loss or trying to conceive again — comment or DM me MOTHER
🤍 if you are pregnant after loss — comment or DM me HAVEN
🤍 if you are parenting a living child after loss — comment or
DM me NEST

my DMs are always open if you have any questions
i hope to see you inside 🤍

when i lost my daughter vienna, i had already supported over 100 births

i knew birth. i knew how to advocate. i knew what to ask for. how to navigate the medical world… but even then, i was still incredibly, completely, and utterly overwhelmed

at the same time, i couldn’t stop thinking about the women who didn’t have the “upper hand” that i had
who walked into the hardest moment of their life with no information, no guide, no birth experience, no one to tell them what was coming next. or the life changing options that they had

we got 24 hours in the hospital with vienna
we kissed her. we hugged her. we read books. we danced. we sang to her. we took a million photos and videos. we had her dedicated. we visited her in the funeral home every day until we drove her body to the crematorium

everything we got to do with her might horrify some people, but to a loss mom — these decisions, the opportunities I was able to have with my daughter meant… everything. my life is forever changed because I got to have them. in some weird twist of fate… in the aftermath, i felt grateful i knew how to make them happen

that is one of the biggest reasons i made Held Through.
so that in the middle of devastation, other mothers could have the opportunity to make informed choices — and know that they have options.. literally life changing options

no woman deserves to walk through the most impossible decisions of her life without support
that’s why Held Through exists 🤍

if you are preparing to say goodbye, or are in the middle of loss right now, or picking up the pieces in the aftermath — whether your loss was in the first, second, third trimester or your infant died — you deserve loving, compassionate, and informed support. Held Through is here to walk you through every step 🌷

THE HELD THROUGH SERIES IS HERE 🕊️

four resources
one for every kind of loss

because whether you just heard the words “i’m so sorry…” or you’re months out and your grief is still so big the world doesn’t understand it… you deserve support that actually meets you where you are

not a hotline
not a pamphlet
not a well meaning friend who doesn’t know what to say
built by a doula who has lived this too… who knew there needed to be something better

a resource built to hold you through the specific loss you are living through
🤍 first trimester loss
🤍 second trimester loss
🤍 third trimester loss
🤍 infant loss

and this week only, when you grab any resource you’ll also receive:
🤍 50% off your first 3 months inside mlno — my community for women navigating life after loss
🤍 surviving the wait — a recorded workshop to hold you in the in-between season after loss
🤍 the waiting map — a companion workbook to go alongside it

a little extra support, on me. available until may 12th

comment or DM me HELDTHROUGH and i’ll send you all the details you need

please help me get this into the hands of the mothers who need it. like this post, share it to your stories, or consider sending it directly to someone you love

An exercise I do with my clients when facing unknowns or fear comes creeping in…

What do you know to be true right now?

What are the facts?

What are you grateful for in this moment?

Write em down. Say them loud.

Let’s not go down a path of worse case scenarios or what ifs.

Let’s rid the noise.

Let’s stay close to the facts ✨
