At the start of 2019, my husband and I lost our third child. Our baby was too young for us to know whether we had a daughter or a son, but we have chosen to remember this child as our daughter, and we have named her Mary Thérèse.
As we walked into that season of overwhelming grief, we felt lost and hard to relate to. Two things in particular kept us spiritually afloat: the knowledge that our baby would only ever know joy, and turning to Our Blessed Mother, who understands what it is to lose a child.
Greiving parents hold a special place in our hearts and it would be a privilege to be able to reach out to parents in those moments. By filling out the form below for yourself or for your loved ones, you will be held in prayer by myself and others who join me in my prayer intentions, you will be mailed a knotted rosary, and also a handwritten card from myself with reminders of the things which helped me most in the hardest times. I would love to know any and all details that you would like to share about your story, though you do not need to share any at all.
