Today, on National Stillbirth Prevention Day, we pause to honor the babies who never took their first breath, but whose lives will always matter. Stillbirth is a heartbreak that leaves parents with empty arms but love that never ends. It is the silence of a nursery never used, the absence of milestones that will never come, and the ache of dreams forever interrupted.
This day is about more than awareness. It is about remembrance. For speaking aloud the names of children who live forever in our hearts, even if the world never had the chance to know them. Moreover, today we shine a light on a grief too often carried alone, in silence. We bring forward the pain that lingers in the shadows, reminding every parent: your love and loss are seen.
Every year, thousands of families experience the devastating reality of stillbirth. Yet, despite its impact, stillbirth is rarely spoken about. Conversely, parents are left to navigate deep grief in a world that often moves on too quickly. National Stillbirth Prevention Day shines a light on this hidden heartbreak. It reminds grieving families that they are not alone, and their child will always be remembered.
By raising stillbirth awareness, we not only honor the babies who are gone too soon, but we also create space for compassion, conversation, and healing.
At the heart of this day is the recognition that grief does not follow a timeline. Parents will always love, always remember, and always long for the child they lost. What they need most is presence—friends, family, and communities willing to walk beside them, to listen, and to honor their child’s memory.
Our mission is simple: to ensure that no parent ever feels forgotten in their grief. To remind them that their love is eternal, and their child’s life, no matter how brief, has meaning.
On this National Stillbirth Prevention Day, we remember every child. We hold space for every grieving parent. And we commit to breaking the silence surrounding stillbirth, so no family walks this journey in isolation.
💙 To every parent who has known this loss: your love is forever, your grief is honored, and your child will never be forgotten.

July quietly holds a sacred space—National Bereaved Parents Month. It’s not a holiday, but for millions of parents, it whispers, “I see you.” At The Memory Box, we honor the love that didn’t end with death and recognize the strength it takes to keep going. Our founder, Kelly Edmondson, created this sanctuary after the sudden loss of her son, Darius. This July, we invite you to pause and remember with us.
