Motherhood is a path filled with love, anticipation, and sometimes, deep heartbreak. The road to becoming a mom isn’t always straightforward—it can be filled with unexpected turns, loss, and emotions that linger long after the world expects us to move forward.
Today is February 18th, a date that holds deep meaning for me. It was my due date for a pregnancy I lost. As this day approaches, I find myself sitting in the in-between—grieving the baby I never got to hold while also carrying new life. Pregnancy after loss is complex. Joy and sorrow exist side by side, and milestones feel different when they are shadowed by the ones that never came.
That’s why at Bloom & Rise, we believe in supporting every stage of motherhood—including the moments that feel invisible to others. Our Loss Box was created with love and care to acknowledge the pain of pregnancy and infant loss, offering small comforts to moms navigating grief. But we also know that support isn’t just about a box—it’s about holding space, providing resources, and fostering a community where no mom feels alone in her journey.
If you’re walking through loss, please know that your experience matters. Your baby matters. And however you’re feeling today—whether it’s sadness, longing, anger, or even moments of peace—it’s all valid.
We see you. We honor you. And we’re here for you, always. 💛
