2023 Hearts Release

Celebrate our beloved babies together as we recognize the 12th year of the stillbirthday global healing community. We selected special events near Egg Harbor, chosen as a way to symbolize a dozen years of global support and healing.

The Hearts Release is always FREE to attend.

Saturday August 5, 2023

10:30am – Optional Craft Activity for Moms
Hands On Art Studio
Fish Creek, Wisconsin

Sunset Hearts Release Boat Ride
6:30pm – private charter
Sister Bay Scenic Boat Tours
10707 N Bayshore Dr.
Sister Bay, Wisconsin

We will be able to enjoy a private charter, which means any person or family impacted by pregnancy and infant loss, and those who love us, are invited to attend. Historically, individuals and families travel statewide and beyond to attend our annual Hearts Release events. This is a warm, inviting, comfortable event with plenty of space for you to come as you are. We’ll be able to meet new people and have an important connection. A professional, marine bagpipe player will be there so we can experience the incredible music played for us, our babies, and our healing. Sierra Pearl Photography, the extraordinary professional photographer, will also be there. If you want to make even more of a day of it, feel welcome to attend the optional craft time earlier in the day as well. Details about boat ride snacks and parking and communications are in our fb event page:

Feel welcome to join our primary facebook page, Hearts Release fb page, and our 2023 Hearts Release event page.
We’ve added a feature here where you can share your beloved babies’ names. You also can share on either of our facebook pages.

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
