Ask the Founder

My name is Heidi Faith, and I am the founder of stillbirthday.

 

Many of the visitors, mentors, Love Cupboard coordinators, doulas, and other team members have been with stillbirthday since we began, on August 1, 2011, or shortly after.

But, so many of the incredible, courageous, warrior members of the stillbirthday family and community are new – finding us and meeting us here each and every day.

 

I want to come alongside you.

 

If you have a question you’d like to ask me directly, you can email at any time, Heidi.Faith@stillbirthday.com.

 

As part of community, it can be kind of special to open up our community even further with a kind of “letter to the editor.” There can be some really tough questions in birth and bereavement, and it might feel validating to see if someone has asked a similar question to the one you might have been wondering.

I ask that questions are respectful, that those who ask questions understand that your question may not be addressed if it is disrespectful or unloving.  And, I will do my part to answer questions as thoughtfully and as transparently as I find myself able.  And while you’re here, you can leave a little note about yourself – it can be totally random, silly, or brave.  What’s your favorite color?  Favorite movie?  Favorite reason to laugh?

 

I hope this can be a wonderful time of connecting and growing together!

 

With love,

Heidi Faith

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES
«    14 of 16    »

She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.

— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.

— C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

I am strong.

— January, founder of Birth Without Fear

When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.

— John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite.

— Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
