Loss mom, it has been an honor and privilege reading these letters to you this week. I am so profoundly touched at the love and hope so many loss moms wrote in with. I am so touched by the kindness and healing written from the hearts of moms who at one point in their journey didn’t think they could take another breath. Loss mom, if nothing else sticks from this series, please let this stick. You are not alone.

I finish this episode with my letter to each of you. You are loved. Your baby is loved. You are not alone.

Today, we think about and hold tight the mothers who might be experiencing Mother's Day for the first time without her precious baby in her arms. I want to share with you some comfort that I have found along the way as you prepare to face your first mothers day without your baby. No matter how long or short you carried your baby in your womb or in your arms, you are that Childs mothers. Tune in as I continue sharing ways in which you can gently celebrate Mother's Day this year, followed by several love letters.

One thing that struck me about the letters that I received was how many I got from loss moms making special mention or thanking the loss moms who came before us. Today’s episode is dedicated to the mothers who paved the way, the grandmothers who pioneered what it meant to be 1 in 4.
