Amie's Message to Newly Bereaved Parents

Описание: “I really didn't believe that I would survive the #loss of my daughter, and there were many times where I just thought, ‘Why am I still here? How could I go on living without her?’ Then I did a lot of work - I met a lot of people, and I looked to the ones who were healthy. I found a person who was a couple years ahead of me who I could tell when I was having those moments; I could call her and I could say, ‘This is what I'm #feeling, is that normal?’ and she would be able to say, ‘Yes.’ I really I think normalizing all of the scary things that you're experiencing is really important.” | Amie Lands, Mother to Ruthie Lou and Author of the books Navigating the Unknown & Our Only Time

No one is ever fully prepared for the loss of a child. At Return to Zero: H.O.P.E., our desire is to provide you with tools during this vulnerable moment to know what to expect: considerations for your time in the #hospital, the differences between healthy and unhealthy #grief, and suggestions to lessen regrets and additional #trauma. We want to #empower you with knowledge to #advocate for yourself and to seek whatever paths to #healing are right for you.

We are so sorry for your loss. You are not alone. Begin your healing journey here with the #support of a #community of parents a few steps ahead in the process.

As impossible as it may feel right now, we want you to know there is #hope. You will never forget your loss, but you will smile and find #joy again.
