The Star Legacy Foundation is dedicated to #stillbirth education, research, & family support. In the U.S. alone, 24,000 babies are born still every year.
"Because to have a truly silent night in motherhood?
Well, it’s the cup that no one wants to drink from. The cup that’s empty because grief has sucked every last drop out of it."
Our favorite stillbirth warrior, Dr Heather Florescue, has a reminder for everyone: #movementsmatter

Wishing you a gentle Thanksgiving. We are grateful to our babies for bringing us together with so many amazing families and showing us the incredible, eternal power of their love. They have changed us, and in their name, we will change the world.
We hope your day is peaceful. 💙
A timely reminder from Modern Loss: You Don’t Have to Be Festive if You Don’t Want to Be!
"It’s OK to be sad, to feel a little hopeless, to both need your family desperately and also not feel bad for not knowing quite what to say to anybody... do what feels right."
As @lesliestreeter says, during this 2020 holiday season you may feel the need to “rip the arms off all the gingerbread men, just to be petty.” And that’s cool by us if it makes you feel better; in fact, we might even join you!

Breathtaking reflection from Meghan Markle on grief after her miscarriage. ❤️
"When people ask how any of us are doing, and when they really listen to the answer, with an open heart and mind, the load of grief often becomes lighter — for all of us."

We see you, Mamas. You are not alone. ❤️
via #themotherhoodtherapist:
Not only do you lose your child, but you also lose your identity. You question your trust in your body & wonder if others still see your motherhood. We see you, mama! Even if you are struggling to see yourself
