Today can be a complicated day.

For those who have lost their baby.
For those who have only ever carried their babies in the bellies and their hearts.
For those who have carried hope and heartbreak.
For those who have living children trying to celebrate them today, and still feel the calling of the ones not physically here.

Whether this is your first Mother's Day without your baby, or your 5th, or your 20th, or your 50th, or more, we know this day isn't easy.

We hold space for you and your babies.

Your motherhood matters.

You are not alone.

To the mothers who hold babies in their hearts instead of their arms - we are holding you close.

There is no right way to move through this day.

You might want to be alone. You might want to be surrounded by people who understand.
You might honor your baby in a quiet way, or this may be like any other day.

Whatever this day looks like for you, let it be yours. đź’ś

There are no "right words" to describe the weight of the love and quiet remembrance of a mother who carries the legacy of her baby who she longed for and carried for a short time.

If you know a bereaved mother, reach out.

Even if you don't know what to say - "thinking of you and your baby today" is enough.

You may light a candle, make a small donation in their baby's honor, or just remind them they are not forgotten.

💜🤍💜

To all the grieving mothers out there: we see you 🤍

Today is my birthday.

You might not even see this post because FB suggests you send wishes from your home page. But if you see this post, what I would appreciate is if you could spend the same amount of time it took you to write on my wall, to donate to

I created this fund at in 2023 to honour my daughter, Araminta's memory. Every donation goes towards creating comfort kits for grieving families in the Maternal Infant Care unit at .ca . We're currently trying to expand this to include early loss kits for Emerg and Ultrasound, because pregnancy and infant loss can happen anywhere.

Comfort kits don't bring your baby back, or make things better, but they're a little sign that "I'm thinking of you" and "you're not alone in this".

He didn’t get to feel the kicks.
He didn’t get to see the two pink lines first.
He didn’t carry the baby, but he carried the hope.
He may not have felt every symptom,
but he felt every dream.

He picked names.
He pictured little hands grabbing his finger,
tiny feet running across the floor,
laughter echoing through the house.

And when it all ended,
he lost that too.
The future he imagined.
The moments he never got to meet.

Just because he didn’t carry the baby
doesn’t mean he didn’t carry the love.

The month of October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month.

Even though we have never forgotten our babies, we take time this month to outwardly honour their memories.

Join and I as we host various events across Lambton County this month to hold space for you to remember the babies lost in your lives.
