WHERE LOVING HANDS MEET BROKEN HEARTS

Walk with me is devoted to giving practical, financial and emotional support to families who are learning to live in the wake of their child’s death prior to or shortly after birth. It is our mission to provide refuge for grieving families and help them break through barriers that stand in the way of hope.

Terminal Diagnosis

“The medical community has told me my UNBORN child as a terminal condition.”

Let us help you navigate the difficult road ahead both pre and post delivery.

Currently At Hospital

“I am preparing to go to the hospital to be induced (or I am already there). My child does not have a heartbeat or is not expected to live.”

Let us help you prepare for the difficult hours ahead in the hospital, as well as a plan to create memories and keepsakes that will last a lifetime.

Post Delivery Loss

“I have already delivered and lost my baby.” OR “My child died in the first months of life.”

Join our community of loss families, get connected to counseling resources and empower yourself with the tools you need to begin the healing process. 

If you have found yourself here, then you or someone you love is likely experiencing one of the greatest losses this life has to offer. We are so very sorry this is your story.

DEAR FAMILIES…

First of all, I would like to offer my deepest sympathies for the loss (or anticipated loss) of your child. My heart breaks knowing there are families —like yours— who have found themselves in the agonizing place where I once was. In 2012, my husband and I lost our baby boy Logan, to a terminal disorder shortly after he was born. There are very few people who can understand the immense sorrow we struggle with—I am so sorry you are now among the few who do. After losing our son, we embarked on the very long and uncharted path of grief and healing. We now understand no one should ever have to make the journey alone.

People often told me how brave and strong I was—although to be honest, I never once felt that way. But now I’m going to tell you what I heard countless times …

You ARE brave and you ARE strong. Surviving even one day without a piece of your heart automatically gives you the titles, whether you believe you deserve them or not.

You are NOT ALONE. I know it feels that way right now, but there is an entire community waiting here with open arms to love and accept you and all of your brokenness. Grief is SO heavy and is a weight that was never meant to be carried alone.

I wish so badly I could hold your hands and look you in the eyes for this one, but lastly, you WILL get through the most treacherous parts of this journey one small step at a time. It’s going to hurt and it won’t be easy because grief is ugly and unpredictable, but the road in front of you can be walked. A piece of your heart will always be broken, but I have learned over my personal journey that broken … can still be BEAUTIFUL.

For right now, survive one minute at a time. Let your heart rest when it needs to rest and let it seep tears when it needs to cry. Lean into your grief and take a deep breath when you find those (few and far between) pockets of peace. It certainly doesn’t feel like it now, but joy is not forever lost. I know it feels impossibly far away and I know your future feels overwhelming and uncertain and so scary. Hope IS on the horizon—it’s just hard to see right now through all the rain.

Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and we would be honored if, during this delicate season of life, you would let us WALK WITH YOU.

Much Love,

JAMIE STEWART
