February Focus Theme: Love!

"If our love was enough to save you, you would have lived forever." Ah….Love. The culprit that got us in here in the first place! Even if a little bit of science was involved, we all know the main ingredient in the creation of your baby was pure sacred parental love. <3 We're going to make things a bit easier on you and just be honest.

The African proverb is true; it takes a village to raise a child This does not change if the baby does not live. The only difference is, who becomes apart of that village and who unexpectedly leaves. Community is the foundation of Three Little Birds. Our nest as we call it, has grown to include other loss families, advocates, volunteers, bereavement specialists, mental health advocates, medical professionals and other businesses who provide services of support to families wa

Thank you from Three Little Birds - 2022 Year in review!

A year ago, as we were planning and preparing for 2022, we knew we need to make some changes as our nest of families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss in the service area had increased tremendously. Up to that point, we had been hosting our groups and events in shared or donated spaces and we knew it would be impossible to host groups in our homes and insensitive to host grief support groups in public spaces like breweries, wineries or restaurants. We hoped 2022 would be

July is Bereaved Parent's Month

While October is known as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, July has been recognized as Bereaved Parent's Month, a time to advocate for and raise awareness of one’s life after the loss of their child. But we the bereaved still don’t feel nearly seen enough. Most don't realize such a date/honor exists until it directly effects their life. The efforts bereaved parents use to create a certain level of transparency in our grief goes unnoticed by the general public becaus
