Month 4 of 12

Letters & remembrance

Writing what your heart still needs to say.

This month's theme

There are words your baby never got to hear out loud, the lullabies, the promises, the small everyday somethings. There are also words the world never let you say: their name in a sentence, the future you imagined, the goodbye you never chose. This month is for letting those words out of your chest and onto a page. A letter is not a ceremony. It does not have to be perfect, or finished, or even kept. It only has to be honest. What you write here will not bring your baby back, but it will keep your love moving, and love that keeps moving is love that stays alive.

Three soft prompts

Sit with one. Or all three. Or none today. They will wait for you.

1

Write a short letter to your baby. Begin with their name (or the name your heart calls them) and tell them one thing you wish they could know about you today.

2

Write the letter you wish someone had written to you in the first week after your loss. Read it back gently, as if it were addressed to a friend.

3

What is one small act of remembrance, a candle, a flower, a song, a date in your calendar, that feels true to who your baby is to you? Describe it, and when you might do it next.

This stays only with you, on this device. Nothing is sent or saved.

Affirmation

My love did not end with my loss. I can keep speaking it, in my own quiet way, for as long as I live.
