About

Our daughter, Corinne Rose, lived for 18 short minutes, but left a lifetime of love in her absence. This blog started in the early days of my grief journey and will follow along for as long as I find it therapeutic. Corinne was born at 23w6d due to a placental infection, known as chorioamnionitis. She was perfect in every way, but don’t all mothers think that? 

1 in 4 women are faced with pregnancy and/or infant loss, yet it is still something that remains taboo. We expect women to “get over it” or “move on.” I admit, before I was part of this terrible club, I didn’t realize the incredible heartache and grief that surrounds pregnancy and infant loss. I didn’t realize that my daughter’s death would crush my soul like it has. The good lord has blessed me with a big mouth and an outspoken nature, so I thought I would use those talents to share our story with whomever is willing to follow along. Let’s talk about it! Let’s support the 1 in 4 women who experience these losses. I plan to use this big mouth to normalize the grief that surrounds neonatal death and to let other women know what they are feeling is normal. 

Please subscribe, leave comments, shoot me an email, or follow me on Instagram and Facebook (links in the section above). The biggest thing that has brought me comfort since Corinne’s death has been the women who have walked this path before me and have survived. It will always be soul-crushing, but it won’t always be all-consuming.
