I am the face...

of miscarriage.


"The only tradition our society does have regarding miscarriage is that you’re not supposed to talk about it.”

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. At 7 pm, I will light a candle to remember my angel and to honor all the parents who hold their children in their hearts, instead of their arms.

♥ Remembering my angels♥

  1. I've never had a MC (or pregnancy) so I am terribly sorry that you've been through this.

    I also see on your side post that you've had some sort of skin cancer scare? I'm a Melanoma survivor trying to get pregnant after cancer & chemotherapy. Good luck to you with all you do! :)
