Labor Day can look very different when you’re grieving the baby who should be here.

For some, Labor Day means a long weekend filled with BBQs, family gatherings, photos, and celebrations. For a baby loss parent, it can be another reminder of the empty space at the table. Another holiday where you’re thinking about the baby who should be here. Another day of carrying grief while the world around you keeps moving.

Maybe you’re surrounded by people and still feel completely alone. Maybe you smile for the photo while carrying an ache no one can see. Maybe you’re okay. Maybe you’re not. Maybe you laugh and cry within the same hour. All of it is allowed.

You don’t have to explain your grief.
You don’t have to pretend you’re okay.
You don’t have to celebrate if you’re not feeling it.

However you spend this Labor Day, be gentle with yourself.

Your baby mattered.
Your love matters.
Your grief matters.

If you’re comfortable, leave a comment below with your baby’s name, nickname, initials, or simply a 🤍. Let’s fill the comments with the names and memories of the babies who should be here. They deserve to be remembered.

And if Labor Day is hard for you this year, leave a 🕊️ in the comments so this community can remind you that you don’t have to carry it alone.

To every parent navigating Labor Day without their baby—we see you. We remember with you. We are here with you.

You are not alone. 🤍

The hardest part of PMOS isn’t always the symptoms. Sometimes, it’s everything that happens when you desperately want to become a parent.

Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS), can affect more than your period. It can affect your hormones, ovulation, fertility, and your journey toward parenthood.

It can mean tracking ovulation.
Waiting for your period.
Taking medications.
Going to appointment after appointment.
Watching month after month pass while wondering, “Will I ever get pregnant?”

And then… the positive test finally comes. 🤍
You finally let yourself believe, “Maybe this is our time.”
But sometimes, the pregnancy doesn’t end the way you prayed it would. You lose your baby, and suddenly you’re carrying something no one can see.

Your fertility journey doesn’t have to look a certain way for your grief to be real.
You don’t need years of trying.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis.
You don’t need a complicated fertility journey.
Losing your baby is enough. Your loss matters. Your story matters.

There isn’t one PMOS story.
There isn’t one infertility story.
There isn’t one baby loss story.

Some are trying to conceive.
Some are navigating treatment.
Some have experienced miscarriage or stillbirth.
Some have experienced infertility and pregnancy loss.
And some are carrying a story they haven’t felt safe enough to share.

During PMOS Awareness Month, let’s make room for ALL of it. Because awareness isn’t just knowing the diagnosis.
It’s understanding the person living with it.

Every Journey Matters.
Every Baby Loss Matters.
You Matter.

Some parts of grief are simply out of our control. 🤍

We can’t control what other people say.
We can’t control pregnancy announcements, baby showers, or unexpected questions.
We can’t control how quickly others expect us to “move on.”
We can’t control the past, the future, or the timing of another pregnancy.

But there are things we can choose.
✨ My pace of healing
✨ My boundaries
✨ What I share and who I share it with
✨ When I ask for support
✨ How I honor my baby
✨ Giving myself permission to grieve
✨ Resting when I need to
✨ Practicing self-care
✨ Trusting my body
✨ Celebrating the small wins

Grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or pregnancy loss is not a linear journey. Healing doesn’t have a deadline, and there is no “right” way to grieve your baby.

You are allowed to protect your peace.
You are allowed to say no.
You are allowed to step away from situations that hurt.
You are allowed to heal at your own pace. 🤍

You may not be able to control everything around your grief—but you can choose how you care for yourself through it.

What’s one thing you’re choosing to keep in your control as you navigate grief or healing? Drop yours in the comments — even if it’s just one word. 👇

💙 Today, we honor the fathers whose babies are not here to celebrate with them.

The fathers who became dads—and then had to learn how to live with an empty crib.

The fathers who held their babies.

The fathers who heard a heartbeat and then heard silence.

The fathers who experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy loss, or infant loss.

The fathers who stood beside their partners through infertility, IVF, failed transfers, failed treatments, and years of hoping for a baby.

The fathers whose babies were lost before they ever got to bring them home.

And the fathers who are grieving quietly because the world so often asks:

“How is Mom doing?”

But forgets to ask:

“How is Dad doing?”

💙 We see you.

Your baby mattered.
Your fatherhood matters.
Your grief matters.
Your love matters.

At Chasing the Rainbows, we believe every parent deserves support after pregnancy and infant loss—including dads.

No father should have to navigate pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, infertility, or reproductive trauma alone.

Today, we honor the dads who are parenting in a way the world cannot always see.

The dads who say their baby’s name.

The dads who keep their baby’s memory alive.

The dads who show up for their families while quietly breaking inside.

The dads who are still waiting for their rainbow.

And the dads whose journey to fatherhood has been filled with years of loss, longing, and unanswered questions.

💙 To every bereaved father: Your baby is remembered. You are remembered. You are not forgotten.

If you know a bereaved dad, infertility dad, miscarriage dad, stillbirth dad, or father grieving the loss of his baby, tag him, send this to him, or share this post so he knows he is seen.

And if you’re a dad living through this kind of loss:

You belong here.

💙 We honor you today and every day.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO LIGHT UP EVEN MORE LANDMARKS! 💗💙

Light Up the Sky: Honoring Our Babies Gone Too Soon is coming this October, and we want to see even more cities, bridges, buildings, businesses, and homes glowing pink and blue in honor of babies gone too soon.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month — a time to remember the babies we never got to bring home and honor the families forever changed by miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, and pregnancy loss.
Because our babies mattered.
Their lives mattered.
And they deserve to be remembered. 🩷🩵

This year, we’re working to light up the sky across the country in honor of the babies we carry in our hearts. From city skylines and bridges to porches and neighborhoods, every light tells a story:
We remember.
We love.
We grieve.
We honor.
We will never forget.

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP US LIGHT UP EVEN MORE LANDMARKS:
💗 Ask your city hall, local landmark, bridge, hospital, business, or community organization to light up pink and blue. If you need assistance or have questions, email us: [email protected].
💙 Light up your own home, porch, business, or window.
📸 Take a photo of a landmark lit up pink and blue and tag so we can share it. Use and .

Our goal is simple: MORE LIGHTS. MORE LANDMARKS. MORE BABIES REMEMBERED.

We don’t want a single family to feel like they are grieving in the dark.

This October, we won’t stay quiet.
We won’t dim our grief.
We will cry it out loud. We will honor out loud.
And together, we will Light Up the Sky. ✨💗💙

HELP US REACH MORE LANDMARKS: Tag your city. Tag your mayor. Tag a local business. Tag a hospital. Tag someone who can help make it happen.

🌈 Visit BabyLossAwareness.org to see the growing list of participating landmarks and learn how you can get involved.

Every baby loss matters. Every baby deserves to be remembered.

There are dates in grief that never stop mattering. 🤍

The day you found out you were pregnant.
The day you heard their heartbeat.
The day you saw their little face on an ultrasound.
The due date you spent months dreaming about.
The day you met them.
The day you said goodbye.
The birthday they should be celebrating.
The age they should be today.

When you lose a baby, you don't lose just one moment. You lose every future moment you imagined with them.

You may always know exactly how old your child should be. You may still count the years, months, weeks, or even days. And you may find yourself wondering who they would be, what they would look like, and what life would feel like if they were still here.

That isn't "being stuck."
That isn't something you need to get over.
That's love.

Your baby will always be your baby. Your child will always be your child. And every date that matters to you is allowed to matter. 🩷

If you're navigating pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or the loss of a child, you are not alone. Your grief is valid, and your baby deserves to be remembered.

💬 What is one date you will always remember?

There was always more to Dolly Parton than rhinestones, big hair, and a voice that could fill a room.

Long before conversations about infertility, pregnancy loss, and women’s health became more openly discussed, Dolly was telling these stories through her music and in interviews.

Dolly and her late husband, Carl Dean, had hoped to have biological children, but severe endometriosis and a partial hysterectomy closed that door.

Dolly once said:
“I didn’t have children because I believed that God didn’t mean for me to have kids so everybody’s kids could be mine.”

And there was Down From Dover. Released in 1970, the song tells the heartbreaking story of a woman who gives birth to a stillborn baby: “Our baby has been born, but something’s wrong, it’s too still. I hear no crying.”

Dolly was putting words to grief, reproductive pain, infertility, and the complicated realities of motherhood when many women were expected to suffer in silence. She understood that motherhood doesn’t always look the way we imagined.

Sometimes it is bringing your baby home.
Sometimes it is saying goodbye.
Sometimes it is loving children who were never biologically yours.

And sometimes it is finding a way to turn a door that closed into a lifetime of love.

Dolly used her voice to tell stories that deserved to be heard. She is a true legend.

For every mother who has ever heard silence where she expected a cry: Your baby mattered. Your grief matters. Your story matters. 🌈

08/24/2026

Grief taught me things I never expected to learn.

I expected to cry every day.
I expected people to show up.
I expected to miss them less with time.
I expected grief to make me weaker.
I expected to eventually feel “normal” again.

But grief taught me something completely different.
Sometimes the hardest days are the ones when you feel nothing at all.

You don’t miss them less. You just learn how to carry the missing differently.

You realize grief doesn’t always show up on the anniversaries, birthdays, or holidays. Sometimes it finds you on an ordinary Thursday while you’re making coffee, driving to work, or standing in the grocery store.

You learn that healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
You learn that grief can coexist with laughter, love, joy, and hope.
And you learn that “normal” may not be something you return to.

Maybe you create a new normal.

One that carries their memory with you. 🤍

If grief has taught you something you never expected, what has it taught you? Share it below. Someone grieving may need to hear that they aren’t alone.

Save this for the days when grief feels different than you expected. And send it to someone who needs a little reminder that there is no “right” way to grieve.
