Pregnancy & Infant Loss
At the heart of our foundation is a deep understanding that not every mother’s journey goes as planned. If you have experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, please know that you are not alone. While no words can fully ease the pain, we hope this space brings a sense of comfort, connection, and care.
We See You. We’re With You.
Loss,….especially early loss… can feel incredibly isolating. Whether your grief is fresh or years have passed, we want to gently show up for you.
One way we do this is through our Travis Totes—care packages created specifically for moms who have experienced early pregnancy or infant loss. Each tote is filled with comfort items and a message of love.

Ways to Care for Yourself
Reach out: Talk to someone you trust—whether it’s a friend, therapist, or support group.
Get outside: A few minutes of sunshine and fresh air can calm your nervous system.
Nourish your body: Simple, nutritious meals can support physical recovery and emotional well-being.
Move gently: A quiet walk, stretching, or light exercise can help release tension.
Give yourself grace: Healing doesn’t follow a timeline. Take it one day at a time.

For Friends & Family
If someone you love has experienced a loss, your presence and sensitivity matter deeply. Here are a few ways you can support them:
Show up: Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply be there—without trying to fix anything.
Say their baby’s name (if known): Acknowledge their child’s existence and their grief.
Avoid clichés: Phrases like “everything happens for a reason” can feel hurtful. Instead, try “I’m so sorry” or “I’m here for you.”
Offer specific help: Meals, rides, childcare—concrete offers are easier to accept.
Check in, again and again: Grief doesn’t end after a few weeks. Keep showing up.
