The Held Through Series
You were never meant to navigate this alone.
The Held Through Series is a collection of gentle, guided resources created to support you through pregnancy and infant loss — wherever you are in your story.
Hi mama,
If you've found your way here, something has likely shifted in a way you never expected. And while I wish we were meeting under different circumstances… I'm really glad you found your way here.
My hope is that this space feels like a soft place to land. A place where you can exhale, even if it is just for a moment.
This isn’t about getting through it. It's about being held while you're in it.
The Held Through Series was built as a space you can return to — not something you need to move through all at once. Inside you'll find four different resources. Each one was created to support a specific experience of loss. Because your loss is yours. And you deserve something that was made for exactly where you are. You don't need all of them. You simply choose the one that feels right for where you are.
You may be feeling…
deeply connected to your baby… or completely numb and dissociated
overwhelmed by decisions you never thought you'd have to make
unsure what's happening in your body
like everything changed overnight, while the world kept going
like no one around you fully understands what this feels like
You may not even have the language yet for what this means.
And if that’s where you are… that’s okay. There is no right way to move through this. No timeline you need to follow. No version of grief you are supposed to be doing. But you do not have to carry this alone.
Choose the support that meets you:
Held Through
First Trimester Loss
Support for mothers navigating miscarriage, TFMR & early pregnancy loss
A gentle space to help you understand what may be happening in your body, navigate the decisions that may arise, and feel supported through the emotional weight of your loss.
Held Through
Second Trimester Loss
Support for mothers navigating late miscarriage, TFMR & stillbirth
Created for the complexity of loss in the second trimester — a time when you might have finally allowed yourself to breathe again. This space gently supports both the physical experience and the emotional layers that come with it.
Held Through
Third Trimester Loss
Support for mothers navigating stillbirth, life-limiting diagnosis & preterm loss
A space to walk with you through one of the most profound heartbreaks a mother can face — holding both the love for your baby and the reality of what's ahead. Here, you’ll find guidance, preparation, and support as you move through birth, postpartum, and beyond.
Held Through
Infant Loss
Support for mothers navigating infant loss, SIDS & neonatal death
For the mother who has held her baby in her arms and is now learning to live without them here. This space offers gentle guidance as you navigate grief, identity, and life after your baby has died.
What’s inside each space
Each resource is designed to support you both practically and emotionally — because this isn’t just something happening to your body… it’s something you’re carrying in every part of you.
gentle, self-paced video modules you can move through slowly
a companion workbook to help you process, reflect, and return to
clear guidance around what may be happening physically
support as you navigate decisions you may be facing
tools to support your nervous system when things feel overwhelming
space to hold your grief, your love, and everything in between
This is not about fixing your pain. It’s about being held through it.
This kind of support is different
Most support around pregnancy and infant loss focuses on the medical side.
And while that matters… it’s only one part of what you’re moving through. Loss isn't just physical. It is emotional and spiritual. It is something that touches every part of you. This series was created to help you hold every aspect of your loss. To walk beside you with care, with honesty, and with support that understands the weight and complexities of what you are carrying.
Hi, I’m Kristin
I’m a doula, childbirth educator, and a mother of three —
my daughter Sena, who I hold in my arms, and my two babies, Vienna and William, who I carry in my heart.
I’ve been supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and loss for years. But this work became deeply personal after my own experiences with loss. I remember how isolating it felt. How heavy everything was. And how hard I searched for someone who truly understood what I was going through.
And how often that support just… wasn’t there.
This series was created from that place using my professional training and my lived experience with grief and love. So that no mother ever has to piece this together on her own.
You are not alone here.
