Parents of lost babies and potential of all kinds: come here to share the technicolour, the vividness, the despair, the heart-broken-open, the compassion we learn for others, having been through this mess — and see it reflected back at you, acknowledged and understood.

Thanks to photographer Xin Li and to artist Stephanie Sicore for their respective illustrations and photos.

parenting after loss > Needing a friend??

From the outside, I look great. Two beautiful girls here on earth and the best husband. It’s been 5 and a half years since we lost our sweet baby but it really seems like the other day. I just can’t seem to ever get it together. I keep thinking that this has to get better but it’s still so unbelievably fresh and I feel so broken. I’ve been in this site off and on since 2016 so just read stories but never posted. If anyone wants to unload and could use an understanding friend, I’m here. Armstrong2555@outlook.com
