This virtual circle was created for you with this challenge in mind. Our aim is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, caring space to explore how mindfulness and the writing process can support you as you navigate this journey. Circle meetings include guided meditations, writing/drawing prompts, and opportunities to connect more deeply with yourself and others. You will also receive mindfulness and writing practices to take with you for on-going support. Learn more and register at rtzhope.org/register/writing

Whether you are pregnant with your baby, have your baby, or are awaiting to conceive your baby all three have something in common, you’ve endured the deat...h of your angel baby previously. No matter the nature of how your baby died or how old they were when they transitioned from Earth one thing remains the same...there is a child(ren) missing from your family dynamic. This post is a reminder that ALL babies have value whether we can see them or not. We don’t have to minimize our joy for our rainbow babies or diminish our sorrow for our angel babies. Both can be true. And to those parents who have suffered the death of your rainbow baby please know I see you and stand with you. Not all baby stories end in celebration. We hold space for every story. See more

This family is deserving of your support. If you have the ability to donate, even just $1, please do. Send them love and support as they prepare to say hello and goodbye to their precious daughter, Ariana.
