Whitney D’s Story

On the morning of December 16th, 2024 started the end of our very much wanted pregnancy, at 7 weeks. Our sweet baby #3 gained its wings and it was the worst grief I have ever felt in my life. To love someone, something so so much that you have never met and will never meet is truly the hardest experience to ever overcome all while still showing up as a mom to my beautiful boys. I am so thankful for all the support from family, friends and my husband. He is and was my rock. Immediately asking after the doctor’s appointment “So when can we try again?”

The day after my miscarriage was confirmed, I had an amazing friend come over to help me create a sacred spot outside where I could honor our sweet angel baby and to help process the grief and give closure. We had a beautiful ceremony filled with lots of tears, sunlight and rain. I decided to plant two flowers. On the left side marked the ending of the pregnancy and the right side was the New Beginning.

At the very start of 2025, my New Beginning started to bloom and has continued to grow tall and spread its beautiful white petals. This flower with all its meaning and significance has given me so much hope, inspiration and motivation to push forward, truly my new beginning.

There is beauty in loss, just takes some time and growth to see it.

To all the mothers that have experienced loss… I love you, I see you, I am you.
