Grief Ease - Birth Ease Loss Support

Grief is so tricky that way

🦋 Please light a candle at 7 pm on October 15th and leave it burning for at least an hour to help create a continuous wave of light around the world to honor and remember babies gone from us too soon. 1 in 4 women has experienced pregnancy loss. If it hasn't touched you personally, it has someone close to you. Thank you for showing your love and support. It means so much to us. 💜

Things I hear often…

“My mom started hospice and she died.”
“When you start hospice they give you morphine and you die.”
“Hospice is a death sentence.”

I am a hospice nurse, and I can only speak for myself, and how I provide care. My goal is to be there for both the patient and family, to truly listen to them about what they need and what matters most to them, and let them know that they have been heard, and to remove symptoms that are causing suffering of any kind.

If someone has been given a diagnosis with six months or less to live, they are already dying. Starting hospice will not speed up the process. Starting hospice can sometimes give you a little more time, simply by reducing pain and suffering. It doesn’t always happen, but sometimes it does.

I always want people to start hospice sooner because I truly believe their end of life journey will be gentler, and those who are preparing to say goodbye will have the tools, resources, and support that they need to be there for the person they love, knowing that they are not doing this alone.

My goal with my blogs, classes, books, and social media posts is to help educate about death and dying in such a way that it removes fear and uncertainty, and offers tools and resources to anyone who is dying or providing care for someone who is dying. I want to help improve the way people are cared for when they die, and when they grieve.

🦋 "Published by Firefly Books Ltd., written by Munsch and illustrated by Sheila McGraw, “Love You Forever” is based on a four-line poem Munsch used to sing in his head for his two stillborn babies.

“I’ll love you forever,

I’ll like you for always,

As long as I’m living

my baby you’ll be.”

It has now been published in nine languages."

Robert Munsch’s classic children’s book ‘Love You Forever’ turns 38. The heartbreaking truth behind the timeless picture book If you ask Craig Baird, he’ll tell you Robert Munsch’s “Love You Forever” is often passed down through generations for good reason.

Precious baby born after loss, please know how much you are loved.

"Dear Baby, right now, you are perfect. You are safe and growing. Your sibling sent you to us, not to replace, but in addition to. Grief and joy can coexist. I have great love for you, no matter what happens. And just like your sibling, you are worth it all in the end." ~Dana Romano ( on Instagram)
