Just the most basic pic I took of our patch at the farm🙌🤣 It was the biggest one we’ve ever done (swipe for the aerial shot), and we should still have pumpkins through the week! We are grabbing ours today to do some carving and painting with Luca, come follow along in my stories!🎃

Squeezing out every last dahlia post I can while they last!! Oct 22 and no hard frost here so we’re still cutting stems and soaking up the beauty🌸 These dahlias truly are stunners, head to my highlights of you want to see video footage/learn growing tips and swipe for more pics of the patch — 160 plants in a 20’x20’ plot!!
.
If you’re local some will be available for purchase at our farm store, @harvestmoonorchard this weekend! It’s also a great time to come grab your carving pumpkins and some apple cider just sayin!☺️🍎

More dahlia spam for your feed😍😍 We only have a short time until the frost takes these beauties away so I’ll share more here and in stories this week!! Happy Sunday my friends🌿

Liam💙 Say his name. Not just a pregnancy. Not just a loss. Our son. We have his footprints, his ashes, a few photos and our immense love for him.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
October is baby loss awareness month and today, Oct 15, is baby loss awareness day. This isn’t just a month or a day to me.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
This is my life.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I live on planet My Baby Died everyday, that will never end. And it’s extremely lonely here.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Can we all remember that? The loneliness. Moms who share their grief openly are not doing so for “attention,” but rather connection. Society suppresses the pain and love we feel for our dead babies, it tells us we shouldn’t feel it, that it’s not valid because it wasn’t a “real” loss.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Wtf? Can you imagine dealing with that shame? ON TOP of losing your child??⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
So this is us fighting back, begging to be understood. We are being honest and open and vulnerable in hopes we can open the eyes of those who stigmatize us for it, of those who stigmatize us without even knowing it.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Today I wanted to offer some advice/my perspective because I get questions daily on what to say to a loss mom.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
When you see your friend or sister or cousin or daughter sharing their pain today (or any day), do me a favor and acknowledge their baby for them. Share about baby loss alongside them. Validate.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Here are some simple things you can say:⁣⁣⠀
I’m so sorry for your loss.⁣⁣⠀
I wish your baby were here.⁣⁣⠀
I hate this for you.⁣⁣⠀
I love you.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
And reminder that platitudes, blame and toxic positivity are NOT ok. Do not say:⁣⁣⠀
“At least....”⁣⁣⠀
“Be grateful for....”⁣⁣⠀
“These things happen.....”⁣⁣⠀
“Did you work out too much/eat something/etc....”⁣⁣⠀
“You can have another!”⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Honestly? Just think about what you would say if a different family member had died. Would you place blame? Would you ask if they’ll try to find a new family member? Would you lecture them on gratitude?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
No???⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Weird. So then WHY, why is it ok to do it to mothers who have just experienced the insane trauma of losing their baby?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Listen to us. Feel with us. Help us.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Change the narrative and break the stigma, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL HURTING MOTHERS✌️❤️

Flower farmer status✌️🌸 Shared my tips for late season dahlias and mums in stories today!! We still have a few more weeks of enjoying these beauties, go find out how to make them last! My tips are also saved to highlights if you miss the stories😍
.
My goal in sharing these tips is to make gardening feel accessible and approachable, I think EVERYONE can grow great flowers (and veggies!) with the right guidance and encouragement🌸🥰 Also #gardeningismytherapy and it’s so good for the soul!

Tonight’s Dahlia harvest🌸🌈
.
Gardening has been a major factor in supporting my mental health. Seeing the dahlias bloom and flourish to me is a true testament to the hard work I’ve been putting into not only my garden, but to myself. I nurtured them, tended to them, maintained them and treated them with love, kindness and gentleness — the same thing I’ve learned I have to do to myself. Thank you therapy🙌 One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned this year is that it takes a huge amount of strength to ask for help. I’m not strong for “surviving” loss, I’m not strong for “toughing it out,” but I am strong for getting the help I need and for learning and using real tools to support my mental wellness, despite what others might think.
.
I’m sharing this for #worldmentalhealthday so maybe even just one other woman can feel less alone and a little more empowered to get help. It’s the STRONG move, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise💪✌️
