You are not alone. You are not broken. You will be okay. You are home.

Miscarriage Warriors was founded after I saw a huge lack in resources dedicated to women who had experienced miscarriages. I had experienced six miscarriages myself and needed a place to turn to talk with someone who could guide me through what was happening. Every time I tried to talk to people about my loss they would respond with the typical “it’ll get better with time”, or “it just wasn’t meant to be”. But what I needed was someone to listen to my story, to sit on the ground with me when things got really hard and to guide me through all the unknowns. How was I going to get through this? Will I ever feel normal again? What did I do to deserve such pain? Why was my body failing me? Who am I now?

When I searched for answers or support, I couldn’t find any and instead it seemed that people were just annoyed that it was taking me so long to “get over this”. I started to push my pain away, to ignore it and just power through. I was being “strong”. And yet, every part of me was dying inside and pulling away from everything that I loved.

After experiencing my sixth miscarriage, I stopped and really asked myself what I was supposed to do with this pain. What did this all mean? I went through my own healing journey. I evaluated what was really important to me and who I wanted to be after this. How was I going to live a life that my angel babies would be proud of? I learned how to work through my anxieties and my depression. I learned the importance of being vulnerable and allowing myself to be seen and heard. And most importantly, I learned who the new version of myself was after my losses. I became more present in my relationships with my husband and my children and found my vibrancy again.

With this self discovery I understood the importance of creating a space for women to turn to, a space where they’re grief is seen and validated. I used my degree in psychology and my own experience to learn more about grief support and how to best show up for other women and created my own healing program to specifically help women discover who they are after a miscarriage.
