🌷 You Are Not Alone

Losing a baby — whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss — changes your world forever. It’s the kind of heartbreak no parent ever expects, and yet far too many of us walk this path. The days and weeks after loss can feel isolating and confusing, but please know this: you are not alone.

As a mom who has experienced stillbirth, I created Lilly’s Legacy to honor my daughter’s memory and to support other families walking through grief. Below are some trusted pregnancy and infant loss resources to help you find comfort, connection, and hope as you navigate life after loss.

🕊️ Emotional and Peer Support

Connecting with others who truly understand can be one of the most healing steps after loss.
Here are some organizations and online communities that offer support groups, counseling, and shared stories from bereaved parents:

🕯️ Ways to Heal and Remember Your Baby

Healing after infant loss isn’t about “moving on.” It’s about learning to carry love and grief together.
Here are a few meaningful ways to honor your baby’s memory:

Create a memory box or keepsake shelf with photos, footprints, and letters.
Write in a grief journal to process emotions and milestones.
Light a candle each year on your baby’s birthday or during the Wave of Light on October 15th.
Donate, volunteer, or sponsor a care package through Lilly’s Legacy in memory of your child.

Every act of remembrance keeps their light shining.
