There are so many of us who are mothers to children who only live in our hearts. Some of us have other children here on earth, but our other babies will always be missing - no matter how many years have gone by. My hope is for all of you beautiful mamas to be honored today, this week, and always as mothers.⠀ ⠀ Let's spread awareness about our experiences, educate our friends and family on how they can better support us, and bring about change for the future. ⠀ ⠀ With love, Kiley Hanish⠀ ⠀ #MothersDay #noshame #perinatalloss #babyloss #infantdeath #healingafterloss #hope #hoperestored #hopeafterloss #returntozero #stillborn #infantloss #babylosssupport #RTZ #bereavedmother #bereavedparents #grievingmother #loss #momsmatter#maternalmentalhealth⠀ ⠀ Stunning artwork by @SamanthaJHahn and @ihadamiscarriage.

This Sunday is International #BereavedMothersDay (May 5, 2019), a day that honors the mothers who hold their #children in their hearts. Let's talk about #babyloss and create a safe space for families to grieve openly, thus receiving the support they deserve. Together, we can transform the culture of silence and isolation surrounding pregnancy and infant loss. Please share this post and show your support to the families in your life who have endured the unimaginable. For specific suggestions on how to come alongside and care for your loved one, family member, or friend who has endured the death of their baby, please visit our website: www.rtzhope.org/family #MothersDay #MothersDay2019 #iam1in4 #noshame #perinatalloss #infantdeath #healingafterloss #hope #hoperestored #hopeafterloss #returntozero #stillborn #miscarriage #RTZHope #bereavedmother #bereavedparents #grievingmother #loss #momsmatter #maternalmentalhealth

You are forever connected in love. #bereavedmothersday #bereavedmother #babyloss #pregnancyandinfantloss #stillborn #healingafterloss #turningpointpsychotherapy

#tracieloeterra Sempre più di frequente ci capita di accogliere genitori che vivono la difficile esperienza della perdita di uno o più gemelli. Questo lutto è particolarmente complesso, perché i genitori si trovano come divisi in due: una parte di loro soffre intensamente per la perdita, una parte di loro è invece sollecitata e impegnata a prestare le cure al bambino sopravvissuto. Questo continuo spostarsi dal lutto alla vita, con tutto quello che comporta il prendersi cura di un neonato, è un lavoro che può diventare estenuante se non adeguatamente sostenuto. Abbiamo pensato di riflettere su questo specifico tema iniziando a raccogliere le storie dei genitori che hanno vissuto o stanno affrontando questa esperienza, in modo da creare un volantino informativo per i genitori e per gli operatori che ogni giorno sono chiamati a sostenere le famiglie "tra cielo e terra". Questo progetto è promosso dalle associazioni CiaoLapo e Piccino Picciò.

Meet Marshall. This is our little guy - brother, son, grandson, nephew, fighter, fearless, angel, dream and love. ⠀ ⠀ He may not physically be with us here but he remains part of our family forever. Each one of us carry's him with us in different ways. ⠀ ⠀ I asked our daughter Lily last night "what is something I should say about Marshall or you would like to say about him?" All she said was one word... "grateful". We didn't discuss it further but it has had me thinking all night. ⠀ ⠀ No matter the pain, the loss, the changes, in the end I am GRATEFUL to have carried Marshall and to love him. It sounds like his little sister feels the same. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ​#littleangels #carryyouwithme #cywm #infantloss #miscarriage #stillborn #sids #perinatalloss #healingtogether #rememberingyou #saytheirname⠀ #marshall'smom #grateful #siblinglove⠀ ⠀ ⠀

“Strength is wishing with every part of your being that you didn’t have to walk this earth without your child, but doing it anyway.”

Loss moms often hear, “Your loss does not define you.” In many ways it’s true. It’s not just the loss that changes the definition of who we are. It’s our children and everything they are. Ask any mother what’s most important to her or what her number one priority in life is, and most will say, “My kids,” or “Being a mom.” It’s absolutely no different for a mother of a child who has died. The difference between the two is that the mother of a living child gets to share that part of her identity with everyone she meets. She has little stories and funny things to share about her baby in her daily life. Motherhood is a part of who she is. The mother of a lost child doesn’t get the luxury of her motherhood slipping comfortably into the confines of normal conversation. She has brief snapshots in time, sacred moments spent staring at her silent and still baby, memories she can’t speak of without tears of pride and love and heartbreak welling underneath a layer of fighting strength. But still, Motherhood is a part of who she is. • We are more than our losses, but for a brief moment in the grand scheme of life, many of us need to let our losses define us. This is what I have been doing for the last 5 months, and it’s the path I needed. As a beautiful friend of mine says, we don’t move on from this or get “better” - we simply figure out how to integrate our loss into our new life, our new normal. We learn how to carry our children in our hearts. We wrap the pain in our power, stand up, and color our identities with more than our loss. There’s not some specific breakthrough, some pivotal moment. We just build the stamina, over time, to carry this weight with us as we keep on living and breathing without our babies living and breathing beside us. We live on, carry on, move forward. We never set this weight down. We never leave our babies behind.
