My reason in writing Goodbyes Are Not The End is to share and encourage families and woman that have experienced the same loss and to navigate through grief, understanding infant loss and adjust to change.

My heart goes out to you and your family at this most difficult time in your lives. I want you to know that I recognize the death of your baby as the human tragedy that it is. No matter how long you were pregnant, how your baby died, or how many other children you may have, the loss of this child is painfully real, your feelings of grief are valid and the impact of your baby’s death on your lives is enormous.
I wanted to share Payton’s story and my story with others in an effort to begin my healing and to help others that need support because eleven years ago there was no support for me.

Grief is hard, even for those around that are trying to support the person grieving.

Goodbyes Are Not The End can help you understand and assist a family and/or friend honor the memory of their baby, educate parents about complicated grief, and encouraging hope/healing after the loss of their baby.
