We have spent the month sharing about pregnancy loss and the emotional rollercoaster that mothers experience. It is finally becoming a topic of discussion, thanks to social media. Mothers can reach out and share their stories. But what about dads? What about partners?

“Ritual opens a doorway in the invisible wall that seems to separate the spiritual and the physical. The formal quality of ritual allows us to move into the space between the worlds, experience what we need, and then step back and once more close the doorway so we can return to our lives enriched.” –Rachel Pollack

Too often, we suffer alone with our losses. Too often, our heartache is meant to be swallowed without much acknowledgement.

The process of grieving is real. If your friend or family member is experiencing a miscarriage, it is important to be there for them.  Yes, the words are hard to find. Yes, there will be tears and emotions.  Yes, you may feel awkward.  But you are needed. Going through a miscarriage is hard; there is no other way of saying it. 

An angel baby will never be forgotten. Honor your baby this Christmas. 

It's not easy to move on after losing a baby. It's not easy to watch as the rest of the world continues spinning like normal while you find it hard to put one foot in front of the other. Somehow, though, we do it, but we don't have to do it alone.
