Violets Voice

September 1st, 2024

Today marks 1 year since we lost our daughter, Violet. It has been 1 year since we became part of the most awful statistic, 1 year since we left the hospital without our baby, 1 year of grieving, 1 year since our world has stood still and 1 year of learning how to live this new life we were handed.

Since Violet’s passing, we have continued to educate ourselves on stillbirths and advocate for our baby girl. As the fog slowly lifted, we were ready to be heard and have decided to turn our pain into a force of good.

“Violet’s Voice” has been created at Stony Brook University Hospital in Violet’s honor. This project will provide personalized care packages that will include help resources, literature and weighted teddy bears for future loss parents. After leaving the hospital empty handed, we know firsthand that this care package will help bring a sense of comfort to those facing their darkest days. “Violet’s Voice” is allowing us to contribute to a community that we now know all too well.

Losing Violet has changed our lives forever, but the legacy she is leaving behind makes us so proud to be her Mom and Dad. “Violet’s Voice” allows the world to know her name, her story and her strength.

“Violet’s Voice” has brought us a sense of comfort and healing in this long journey of grief. Violet may not physically be here, but she sure is making a difference! Please see the link attached to join this project and be a part of Violet’s journey with us.

As always, we thank you for your love and support.

Violet’s Mom and Dad
