Seen By Scottie 🍀

October looks a little different from where I’m standing this year.

Before Scottie, I knew pregnancy and infant loss happened. I knew October was dedicated to raising awareness. But I didn’t know what it meant to live through it. I didn’t know how much love could exist alongside so much heartbreak, or how important it would become to have people remember a little girl they never got to meet.

I wish I were learning about this month from the outside. I wish Scottie were here. But she has changed the way I see the world, and I want to do something meaningful with the love I have for her.

That’s a big part of why I created Seen By Scottie.

This space began with my daughter, but my hope is that it grows into something bigger than our story. A place to remember our babies, share the things that have helped, have conversations that aren’t always easy, and remind the people walking alongside us that their presence matters.

Throughout October, I’ll be sharing more about Scottie, honoring other babies and their parents, and talking about the many ways we can show up for families experiencing loss.

I want there to be room for the hard things here. But I also want there to be room for joy, hope, laughter, ordinary life, and all the love that continues long after goodbye.

Because Scottie’s story is so much more than the fact that she died. And I hope that, through this little corner of the internet, her life can continue to make a difference.

For Scottie, and for every baby who deserves to be remembered. 🤎🍀
