October is Infant loss awareness month,
This year we have chosen to write your babies names on rocks, and scatter them at the river.

Please comment on this post or private message me if you would like your babies name included.

Every year we release thousands of teeny, degradable paper hearts that are handscribed with our beloved babies’ names. It is free to include your babies’ names. It is free to attend. You can follow along our page for event details and for sharing your beloved babies’ names online.

The stillbirthday annual Hearts Release is October 15, 2021.

Every day, the founder of stillbirthday handwrites the names of our beloved babies who are not alive, onto teeny paper hearts that later can grow into flowers.

It is always free to include your beloved babies' names - you can share them right here in this thread if you'd like, and each will be included.

And, it is always free to attend the event, if you are able and would like to. These are intimate events; only those who especially want to witness the release firsthand make the trek to do so, and so we like to make announcements for those to follow along and prepare.

So this little picture is just a little "save the date" if you'd like to plan to attend, or would just like to follow along the updates here on the page.

As doulas, we see a lot of Obstetrical Gaslighting, and, for the families we serve, we're calling it out.

What does it mean to be a Bereavement Doula?

For me, it means helping families navigate their way through their own unique grieving process.

No two families are the same, no two journeys are the same and no two losses are the same. Supporting families through every step, regardless of gestation, is what I have been called to do.

If you or someone you know has been through a pregnancy or infant loss, do not hesitate to reach out to me. You do not have to face your loss alone, and you have every right to a safe space for your feelings.

With love,

Addie, SBD
