Loss Resources

I have wanted to put together a quick resource list for the loss community, whether your loved one has lost their sweet baby or yourself has heard those devastating words "I'm sorry..." sometimes it can be really hard to find good, safe, places to turn to. 

These were, and still are sometimes, mine.

NILMDTS - or Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, which is a non-profit organization that offers families suffering the loss of their baby high quality professional photos. Like I mentioned last week, having photos - even if it may sound so strange standing on the outside, is an incredible blessing. I didn't know about this organization when we lost our son but the more people that know about the more chances for it to fall into the hands of those who need it.

Still Standing Magazine - Still Standing is an online magazine that has a variety of writers and touch on subjects ranging from infertility to pregnancy and infant loss. 

Glow in the Woods - Glow in the Woods is another online magazine, another great variety of experiences written and shared, as I often found, in a very poetic fashion.

Faces of Loss - a personal favorite of mine, they welcome anyone to come and share your story. Each story is tagged in ways that you can follow if you're looking for someone closer to what you have experienced. They put real, honest, stories to faces and it is such an incredible way to be reminded that you are not alone. You're welcomed to share your own story, link with others in the loss community and break the silence that you are 1 in 4.

Etsy - I know Etsy is a huge website, and not exclusive to the loss community but by using the search bar it is so easy to come across a number of pregnancy and infant loss memorial items, from jewelry to artwork and more.
