HEARTS RELEASE

Selecting a name for your beloved baby is important.  This is true for families experiencing birth in any trimester.

Every year we release thousands of teeny, degradable paper hearts that are handscribed with our beloved babies’ names.  It is free to include your babies’ names.  It is free to attend. Our babies’ legacies are being spread throughout the world, one annual Hearts Release at a time.  

What is your beloved baby’s name?

I will be so very honored to handwrite your babies’ names to be held along with my own baby’s name. -Heidi Faith, stillbirthday founder 

You can learn about the history of the Hearts Release, follow along our facebook page for event details and you can share your beloved babies’ names to be included. Heidi Faith, the founder of stillbirthday, handwrites every beloved baby’s name shared here and on stillbirthday social media accounts (FB, IG, X). 

New for 2025!

Celebrate our 14th annual Hearts Release with us! 

In 2025, we are opening our Hearts Release in a whole new way. Rather than a single event, the opportunity is available for members of the stillbirthday healing community to organize their own local Hearts Release event, to be held either in August or October, depending on each organizer’s preference. October because this is infant and pregnancy loss awareness month, declared by Proclamation 5890 in 1988. August because this the founding of stillbirthday in 2011. Details of all event locations and the invitation for you to lead one if you’d like are all available on our facebook page
