"And one day soon I will go home. I'll be cuddled in the arms of the ones that never stoped believing that I would make it there."

Going home is often the moment we dream about throughout our pregnancy and the NICU days, but it can feel both beautiful and terrifying. Home doesnt always mean the hard part is over. Sometimes its where the reality of fragile health sets in. Its where the "what ifs" feel heavier and can be one of the more crucial times of support for parents.

Sometimes, the journey doesn't lead home the way we had hoped. Sometimes it leads to heartbreak and grief so deep that it feels impossible to breathe. Going home without our sweet little is never the outcome we want and it can sometimes get the best of us and lead us down a path that seems to have no return. But grief is NOT the end of your child's story. Their life matters. Their love continues. And your love as parents remains unshakable.

 

Support 

These two support journeys are both, vastly different, yet they intertwine. Here in this space, you are not alone in either joy or sorrow. We walk with you into the quiet moments at home and we will sit with you in the silence of grief. There is no timeline for healing. there is no "right way" to move forward. Only permission. Permission to feel, remember, to honor, and to keep loving. Whether your arms are full or aching empty, this journey still belongs to you and your child.
