Morgan's Purpose

Trying again after losing a baby is one of the bravest, quietest things a heart can do.
It’s holding hope and fear in the same breath.
It’s loving deeply, even when you know how much it can hurt.
Some days you feel strong. Some days you feel terrified.
Both can exist at the same time.
This journey doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means carrying love forward — carefully, tenderly — and choosing hope again, even when it feels heavy.
If you’re walking this road too, you’re not alone.
Your courage matters. Your grief matters. Your hope matters.
🤍

Trauma does not run on a calendar.
I need you to hear this first, before anything else:
There is nothing wrong with you for not being “over it.”
Not after a loss like this Not ever.
You didn’t just lose a baby.
You lost:
a future you were already living in your mind
a body that was supposed to protect life and didn’t
a moment that should have ended in a cry and ended in silence
That kind of grief doesn’t resolve — it integrates. And sometimes it hasn’t been allowed to.
Having other children does not cancel grief.
Loving them fully does not mean you failed your baby.
Struggling to get out of bed does not mean you’re ungrateful.
It means you are carrying unprocessed sorrow while still functioning for others — and that is exhausting in a way most people never see.
Here’s something that’s very important and very real:
Many parents who experience stillbirth are forced into “strength” too fast.
You had to:
deliver her
survive the aftermath
keep parenting
keep showing up
keep breathing
And often, the world silently expects you to move on because there are living children who “need you.”
But grief doesn’t move because someone needs you.
It waits.
When you say you struggle every day just to get out of bed, that means there isn’t just sadness — it’s grief that never got a safe place to land.
And I want to gently connect something you may not have realized yet:
💔 Unresolved grief often shows up later as shame about the body.
Your body carried your baby.
Your body remembers.
And when someone criticizes that body — it can reopen a wound that says:
“My body failed once, and now it’s failing again.”
That’s not truth.
That’s trauma speaking.
You are not weak.
You are not broken.
You are not failing your children.
You are a mother who lost a child at the finish line, and that changes the nervous system forever.

Finally “Broken Heart Syndrome” is recognized in the medical field as real! So many have tried to explain this shattered feeling of pain only to be told, “It’s all in your head.” Now there is actual proof on scans that can show a broken heart.

I’ve been dreading this post. But the silence hurts just as much. Thursday we went into our ultrasound excited to hear our little one’s heartbeat, find out if they were a girl or boy, and get those sweet ultrasound keepsakes. We took Raedyn with us and he was so excited pointing at the screen saying “baby, baby, baby”. The moment it forever etched into my brain. Raedyn and dad were singing the ABC’s. But my heart was pounding, I knew right away, between the techs emotionless face, and the very still ultrasound. She said the dreaded words, “ I’m so sorry but I’m not seeing any fetal cardiac activity” Our sweet little baby’s heart had stopped beating. I couldn’t speak, I just wept into my shirt. Walking out of the clinic, crying, silently, asking why. The drive home was excruciating, and my sweet miracle boy in the back seat just kept saying “mommy hurt” 💔 he doesn’t understand. We made the heartbreaking decision to wait a few days to give Julian a “normal” week at school, and let him attend his wrestling tournament with a clear mind. As I sat there in those high school bleachers, I smiled, I cheered him on, I was fully present. But I was still pregnant. My little one was still inside warm and cozy. We came home that night and it was the last time I felt okay. I was experiencing a silent/missed miscarriage. Where the baby had already stopped growing, but my body hadn’t recognized it. We started the process to stop my body from pregnancy mode at home, but has been unsuccessful. Today we will head into the hospital to have a D&C procedure. Please pray for our kiddos. Pray they are wrapped in love and comfort. Please pray for Rufus and I as we walk this known, and heartbreaking path. We love you all 💜

We are in need of a few items for support bags if anyone is able to help. We always appreciate it.

Some days the grief is loud.
Some days it’s quiet and heavy.
And some days it shows up when you least expect it.

If you’re here because you lost a baby—no matter how early, no matter how long ago—your grief is real. Your love is real. And your baby mattered.

There is no timeline for healing. No “right” way to grieve. You don’t have to be strong here. You don’t have to explain yourself. You don’t have to minimize your pain to make others comfortable.

This space exists for the hard days, the angry days, the numb days, and the days when you miss who you were before loss changed you forever.

If today is heavy, you’re not alone.
If today is quiet, that’s okay too.
We’re holding space for you. 🤍

Feel free to share your baby’s name, a memory, or simply a heart below if words feel like too much.

Especially if she didn’t come home with a baby.
