Losing a baby is hard. It challenges everything we believe and can bring us to our knees.
A loss brings a range of emotions and different experiences for each mom.
For each and every mom who has faced loss I want to say that your baby mattered,
your pregnancy mattered, and you matter. You are not alone.

Miscarriages can often be lonely and confusing. This type of loss can have a range of feelings from relief, to indifference, to betrayal, to utter heartbreak. However you are feeling about the loss of this pregnancy and this baby, you are not wrong. Feel your feelings. Let them have their space and time as you walk through this.
When miscarrying often moms need an ear to listen, resources to understand, compassion to know she is not alone. If you are facing a miscarriage, please contact me. I would like to talk to you... hear you... and help you in any way I can. I will link resources below, but one-on-one communication can be helpful to moms in this time of need. I am always an email or text away. |
Later pregnancy or neonatal loss is such a deep loss. I can't make that pain go away. I can't magically bring understanding and healing, but I can walk alongside you and help you find the light again. I believe that in these losses, there is a very real need to welcome the baby, mother that child, and say hello, then lead into goodbye. Each step is important for healing later.
As a bereavement doula, there are a few ways I can help. I can provide resources for you. I can be an ear to listen, hearing about your baby and your story, and your loss; answering questions as needed. Lastly, if your birth is upcoming, I can provide in-person doula support through that process. The in-person support $500 birth package. All other contact is free of charge. For doula support please text me directly at 484-241-5929. |
Below are some resources that I hope you find helpful.
Stella's Hearts is a local support group that I co-founded. I attended Stella's Birth in 2017 and this group was founded after realizing that there needs to be more support for families dealing with perinatal and neonatal loss. This group has been wonderful and all are welcome. Stella's Heart Operates via the Facebook group. Meetings are currently a bit sparse. Stella's Hearts FB GRoup - click here |
LOSING YOUR BABY, IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE PUSHED ASIDE OR SOMETHING TO "GET OVER." WE NEED TO PAUSE. EACH BABY IS IMPORTANT. Both Parents DESERVE THE TIME TO PROCESS, TO LOVE, AND TO HEAL. A PREGNANCY LOSS IS STILL A BIRTHDAY AND THERE CAN BE BEAUTY FOUND AMID THAT TRIAL. YOUR BABY IS YOUR BABY, REGARDLESS OF GESTATIONAL AGE OR CIRCUMSTANCE. GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO TRY TO PROCESS, TO GRIEVE, AND The psace to HEAL.
