Hope After Multiple Miscarriages
I was so delighted to share my journey to a rainbow baby recently on the Sisters in Loss podcast. Erica M.

Angel Baby Keepsakes
People grieve in so many different ways. I have found that just having a memorial item in or around my house has been helpful to me. In spite of the heartache, when I look at some of my memorial items, I am reminded of the love that is still around me. I was gifted several items in the midst of the loss of Mackenzie and my other miscarriages. The people that provided me with these keepsakes are still very near and dear to my heart today.

National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day

And, often there are no words or actions to console the pain of loss.
