About the Book

It all started when...

Someone very near to me revealed that she had lost her daughter, Riley, to miscarriage.

Ann loves each of her children dearly, and raises them to be kind, loving little people. She was devastated at the loss of her daughter just before Christmas, and I struggled to find a way to ease her pain.

Although Ann was blessed with three healthy children, she still lost Riley.

Although Riley wasn't carried to term, she was still Ann’s baby.

Although she would never see her grow, Ann still had dreams for her future. 

Although she was gone, Ann loved her still.

I searched the web for a gift to honor Riley, but I was saddened to see my searches for memorial baby books coming up empty. That's when I decided to create I Love You Still: A Memorial Baby Book.

I made sure to give our book the same look and feel of other baby memory books, with special areas that are inclusive for a variety of miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal loss situations.  The book encourages moms to remember each joyous moment of their pregnancies, and the milestones they shared with their baby. The latter portion of the book helps mothers work through their experiences through prompted journaling and reflection. My hope for this book is that it helps mothers—like my friend—to feel that something exists specifically for them.

About Me

MY NAME IS MARGARET

I am a native Minnesotan and I still consider the Midwest my home. I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2009 with a degree in English and minor in Family Studies and Human Development. I found my purpose in advocating for all mothers; especially those who have experienced loss. I value family time above all else, and I find the most happiness when I'm outdoors somewhere where I can see the wind on the water.
