It never gets easier. It never doesn’t take my breath away. Knowing all the hearts that were devastated in this moment. This time of grief and pain. It can be so paralyzing. And then I remember how I don’t have these. No molds. No Momentos. No pictures. And then I can do it. Because I never want another family to not have these to treasure forever. #volunteer #momloss #dadloss #infantloss
What is your bad ending birth story?
Do you get to share it as much as parents with happy ending birth stories get to share theirs? Share your experience in the comments.

Sometimes it feels like you’re supposed to be sad forever. Like if you start feeling happiness or joy again that somehow means you’ve forgotten about you loss. That could never happen. Having the courage to allow goodness back into your life is one of the hardest steps along the way. It’s filled with guilt and setbacks. But just remember, you’re not alone. #miscarriage #stillbirth #infantloss
In all seriousness though. When you lose a child it’s not like breaking a leg or getting really sick. You’re not going to wake up one day and think “wow that was a rough ride… but it’s over now”…
Can we cope? yes!
Can we heal?? to a point, absolutely!
Can we go on??? 💯!
It’s one day, one sec at a time. The want we feel for our child never goes away. But we can let their life, their existence change who we are and leave a mark on how we live the rest of our lives.

Something’s just change you as a person… if my baby was alive I would have changed…. My life would have taken on a new focus and a new meaning…. And because my baby died I’ve changed in a different way… But I welcome this change… this change reminds me that they were real and that life is fragile and that they will forever be mine. I miss them in everything I do. And that will never change. #lossmom #childlossawareness #miscarriage #infantloss #stillborn
What grade would your baby be starting? 🎒
My son would be beginning preschool. My friend's son would be starting their second year of college. We both have immense grief at missing what could have been. #infantloss #childloss #pregnancyloss #shareparentsofutah #angelbaby #backtoschool #miscarriage #stillborn

I remember it like it was yesterday. The day the gas went to empty.
I had been running and running and running.
Running away…
I didn’t want to feel it. Didn’t want to give it any space. If I didn’t acknowledge it then it meant it wasn’t real. I was doing everything I could to keep myself busy, to keep myself positive, to just keep going. I thought if I pretended everything was ok for long enough then eventually it would be.
And then I ran out of gas…. Looking back I’m not ashamed of trying to run from my feelings. That’s what I needed to go through to understand that, in the end, those emotions catch up to you.
What I am so grateful for though is those people I had running beside me all along….
I’m sure deep down they knew all along that my running wasn’t going to work. But they didn’t talk me out of it. They didn’t tell me “I told you so” when it all came to a head. They just ran along with me. And when I couldn’t run anymore they were there too. Just like we will be for you!

This is how we do it: mold edition 👣
Share can make hand and foot molds of babies from pregnancy and infant losses. This sped up video shows our process of mixing alginate and holding baby (or today, Barbie) still for several minutes while the mixture sets.
We take these molds and fill them with hydrocal cement to create lasting mementos for bereaved parents to treasure.

Have you heard the terms sunrise baby and sunset baby? Those terms are used for twins when one lives past birth but the other does not.
Experiencing sunset and sunrise babies brings a range of emotions, all valid. Heartbreak for the loss, yet relief for the surviving twin. Remember, grief is personal, and we're here for you through your journey.
