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.

I wanted to use my miscarriage story to show others that there is hope after multiple miscarriages.

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
I imagine if you have ever heard about national pregnancy and infant loss awareness day, you or someone you know has experienced pregnancy or infant loss.

I personally have went through the heartache of seven pregnancy losses including my 21-week loss of my daughter Mackenzie. It can be draining emotionally and physically. And, often there are no words or actions to console the pain of loss.
