It’s Pregnancy and Infant Loss Month. 💜 My personal and professional experiences inspired all of the books, and I can say with certainty that these families are truly going through some impossibly hard things… …missing this tiny special person that they never even got a chance to truly know …missing all the things that were supposed to be …missing the roles they were excited to fill …missing their chance to watch their sweet child affect the world …and then having such a heavy heart and clouded brain that they don’t have the words to talk about it. The thing is: these babies do matter. They do affect the world. Their loss affects their families and who they become. They affect what their families do for others. They inspire new ideas, empathetic goals, and good in the world. #pregnancyloss #infantloss #pregnancyandinfantlossawarenessmonth #pregnancyandinfantloss #griefafterbabyloss #stillbirth #miscarriage #medicaltermination #siblingsafterloss #siblingloss #childlifespecialist #childlifeauthor
