Making Gentle Footprints

Beginning to navigate Life After Baby Loss

Hey there,

Welcome, I'm glad you've found us, but I'm sorry that life has lead you here.

Miscarriage and baby loss. It's a path that no one signs up for, yet too many of us find ourselves navigating its rocky terrain. If you've experienced this kind of loss, you know just how deep the pain can go. But amidst the darkness, there are these little whispers of hope, these gentle footprints guiding us forward.

How do you feel about taking those first tentative steps after baby loss. It's like walking on eggshells, isn't it? Every move feels fragile, like you're afraid of shattering what little semblance of normalcy you have left. But here's the thing, those steps matter. They're your way of acknowledging the pain while also bravely inching toward the unknown.

So why now, why Gentle Footprints. The name is two fold. Firstly the Gentle Footprints of us, tentatively stepping forward but also those little imprints our babies leave on our lives. They may not be physically with us, but their presence is everywhere. It's in the songs we never got to sing, the dreams we never got to see unfold, and the love that remains unbreakable. Those footprints? They're reminders of the profound impact our babies had on us, even in their short time here.

Finding support after baby loss is crucial. It's like having a lifeline thrown to you when you're drowning in grief. Don't forget, healing isn't a sprint; it's more like a meandering stroll through uncharted territory. It's okay to take breaks, to pause and catch your breath when the weight of grief feels too heavy.

So, to all the parents out there who are taking those gentle steps forward after baby loss, know that you're not alone. Your choice of path is valid, your pain is valid. Keep taking those steps, no matter how small, because each one brings you closer to the new version normal you xx

Sending you all the love and strength on this journey.
