Emerson’s Embrace was born out of our own heartbreak.
After experiencing seven pregnancy losses—including early miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and the stillbirth of our baby, Emerson—we were left reeling. In the midst of deep grief, we found ourselves longing for comfort, acknowledgment, and something tangible to hold onto.

We created Emerson’s Embrace to offer that comfort to other families—to remind them that their babies matter, their grief is real, and they are not alone.

Why we started

To provide care, comfort, and compassion to families navigating the loss of a pregnancy or baby. Through care packages, resources, and connection, we walk alongside those experiencing grief and hold space for every story and every life.

Our Mission

What we offer

Free care packages for families facing miscarriage or stillbirth

  1. Emotional support and connection through shared experience

  2. Advocacy and awareness for pregnancy and infant loss

  3. Gentle reminders that every baby’s life has meaning

We named our organization after our stillborn son Emerson. His life changed ours forever. This name is a way to honor his memory—and the memory of every baby gone too soon.
