Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week - Pregnancy and Grief


This week is maternal mental health awareness week and as someone who follows a lot of other mamas, it has been at the forefront of my social media. Though the main focus seems to be around things like postpartum depression and anxiety related directly to motherhood, it has still brought up a lot of emotions in me related to grief and how motherhood has affected my grief journey.

Dear Avery...


I wrote a letter to my baby girl still growing inside me, so I wanted to write one to her big sister too.

Dear Avery,

I haven’t even started writing and my eyes are already filing with tears. Our world is about to change in a big way and I just wanted to write you a note to remember these last days and weeks where you’re my only child.
