Share Your Story

Ever since you were young, you were told fictional stories, stories about your parents and grandparents, stories about the world around you, and many other types of stories. Stories can provide a glimpse into the experiences of others, but they can also help you process your grief if you have lost an infant.

You may be hesitant to share your story because it can bring up many of the difficult emotions you experienced when you lost your baby. And while keeping your story deep inside can repress these emotions, any mental health professional will tell you that it never does any good to hold your feelings in. Expressing your story in whatever way you feel comfortable with is one of the best ways to deal with your emotions and heal from loss.

Sharing your story can be done in whatever format you feel most comfortable with. While you can simply write down your story in a journal, you may also want to write a poem or song or create a blog post that documents your experience.

For our founders at the One Day Closer Foundation, sharing the story of how they lost their beloved little girl shortly after birth is one of the ways they have been able to heal and move forward. It has also given them the opportunity to connect with others experiencing similar losses through their foundation and provide hope, healing, and compassion. We would love to hear your family’s story.
