Such a beautiful and inspiring choral tour with Foothill Academy of Vocal Arts to Ireland.

We sang in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, St. Nicholas’s in Galway, and St. Mary’s in Killarney. I feel grateful for this beautiful group of people to share in this experience.

Yesterday we celebrated Norbert’s 21st birthday. It feels different this year because I’m on a choral tour in Ireland. There wasn’t a lot of free time and space to be in my grief. That said, I was in the sacredness of Mother Nature—and Norbert visited me as his white butterfly (for which I’m so grateful).

I honor his brief life and the immense impact he has had on my life and the lives of so many others. I am grateful he chose me as his mother.

I’m honored to share Return To Zero: Hope | Pregnancy & Infant Loss Nonprofit’s work in building the Eastern Oregon & Washington Perinatal Loss Collaborative at the Postpartum Support InternaPostpartum Support International

We used a coalition building approach to create this collaborative, with more than 20 organizations participating. We gave trainings and resource guides to the provider community.

We are continuing this work by supporting the Collaborative in a remembrance event this October.

I’m deeply grateful to share that partnered with the & to help develop a new resource for bereaved families: When Goodbye Comes Too Soon.

Kristin James and I had the honor to present on this booklet at the National Funeral Directors Association Professional Women’s Conference in St. Pete, FL, last week.

This booklet was created to gently guide families through some of the decisions no parent ever expects to face — including options for final disposition, funerals and memorial services, remembrance, and memory making after pregnancy loss.

When my son, Norbert, died, I received very little guidance around any of this. In the midst of shock and grief, we were left trying to navigate overwhelming decisions on our own. I know firsthand how meaningful compassionate guidance can be during those moments — and I truly believe this resource will help so many families feel a little less alone.

These booklets are coming soon and will be available free of charge. If you’d like to be notified when they become available, you can sign up through the footer on the RTZ homepage. (https://rtzhope.org)
