Last month, I was in a room with four hundred women, and we were laughing and crying and just BEING together. Halfway through our time together, a woman stood up and said, “Glennon, what would you say to help people understand the importance of being there for a friend who has lost a child? We lost our daughter, Ansley, seven years ago and most of our friends and family have just fallen away. Now on her birthday and Angel Day- I might receive a card or two. It’s just not enough. Our baby is gone and we need the people who knew her to talk to us about her, but they don’t. Everyone we loved is just silent about it. It makes me feel like Ansley is forgotten. It feels like the world is pretending she never existed.”
I just looked at her for a long moment. The room was completely silent. It was clear to everyone that this woman had single-handedly escorted the four hundred of us into the most important moment of the evening.
I finally said, “What is your name?”
She said, “Jessica.”
I said, “Jessica- you tell us. What would YOU tell people to do?”
And she said, “SHOW UP. Show up right away and then keep showing up. Don’t worry about saying the right thing, there is no right thing. Just say SOMETHING. Just tell us you haven’t forgotten. And say their name. It’s like people are afraid to remind me of her- as if I’m not already thinking about her every moment of every day. Everyone avoids her name- but we still need to hear their names spoken by people who loved them.”
I thanked Ansley’s mama for saying what we all needed to hear. For telling us that when it comes to tragedy- what a friend does is pull together all her brave and run towards the heartbreak and mightily resist the urge to try to fix it and instead just sit in it and soak up a little bit of the love and pain.
And then she says her name. Often. Because your friend is still Ansley’s mama, as certainly and surely and eternally and solidly as you are the mama of your babies. That’s who she STILL IS. Somehow now more than ever. She doesn’t know herself any other way and she doesn’t want to. And so when you don’t acknowledge that part of her, it’s like you’re not even there with her. She needs you to be there with her. With Ansley’s grieving mama.
I said, “Jessica. I don’t know what to say. But listen, I’ll tell you one thing. Ansley’s Angel Day is not going to pass silently this year. I know some people who would love nothing more than to stop and remember Ansley with you. They are the Monkees. You tell me Ansley’s date and then you visit us on her day. “
And Jessica cried and we all cried together – all four hundred of us – for the loss of a baby girl and the pain of a mother and the soothing balm of women who rush toward each other and sit and cry with each other and just give up on saying too many words at all.
Today is Ansley’s Angel Day- July 14. I imagine that Jessica will wake up this morning and look out her window and wonder how in the world it is that the world can keep spinning on the day that her own world died.
I would like for us to stop the world for a moment today to remember Ansley, to honor Jessica, and to hold space for all of our sisters’ great loss and pain and love. Let us do this in two ways:
- Please leave a comment here for Jessica. She will be reading today. Let us show her we cared enough to STOP today and say Ansley’s name. Let us tell her that she is not the only one who is feeling the width and depth today of the loss of Ansley. Also, in your comment- tell Jessica where you’re from. It makes the love feel more real when you can see that it’s covering the globe.
- Then please, in honor of Ansley and Jessica- call to mind a friend who has suffered a great loss and then reach out to her. If you can’t call her, email her. If you can’t email her, text her. Don’t let your lack of time or the perfect thing to say stop you. Just do it. Stop the world for a moment in honor of her. That’s what we do when we pause in the middle of a busy day to reach out to someone who is hurting. We say “to me, you are worth stopping the world for.”
MS-MD has donated $700 to the Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood Program in honor of Precious Ansley (who would have been a nine year old girl today) and in honor of her Warrior Mama, Jessica, and in honor of all of you who have lost your babies. I am stopping my world today to tell you that I have no perfect words. I am just here, and I am so very, very sorry.

Jessica,
My name is also Jessica and I am from Tennessee. I have to tell you I think your pain…this pain that you face each day, is the most difficult to endure in life. There are no words…and I only hope there is someone to hold your hand and wipe your tears this day. Prayers for you and your lovely girl Ansley.
Bless you Ansley’s mama! May the memories of your daughter bring you happiness and the love from across the world help with the hurt you are feeling.
With love, Brooke from Australia xxxx
Ansley is in your heart, and you both are in mine. Blessings to you both…!
Jessica, my heart aches with you today for the loss of your precious girl Ansley. I wish that there were words to say to make the pain hurt less, but sadly there are no magic words or wands to wave. I am so profoundly sorry for your loss. And I am sending you hugs, love, and prayers from California as this is what helped me through my pregnancy losses (so I have but a glimpse of what you are currently experiencing). I stand with you today in the midst of your grief and pain and please know you are not alone. (((((((Hugs))))))
Ansley is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. She is proudly looking at her brave mama who today taught so many people how to love bigger and better. Extra love coming your way from San Francisco.
Jessica, thinking if your family and your beautiful little girl on her Angel day. May all of the beautiful memories give you the strength to get through. God bless you.
Ansley is beautiful, thank you for sharing your story, what courage that took! Sending hugs from PA

Prayers of peace for you and I want to tell you how perfectly perfect your precious Ansley is. Such a sweet heart. Worthy of all the attention the world has to offer. Much love and light from Texas.
Cannot imagine what you go through each day. Words don’t express. Praying for God’s peace and comfort and beautiful memories. Your Ansley is so, so beautiful and precious.

Blessings to you and your beautiful daughter. She is simply adorable 🙂 and so loved ❤️. My son Ridley will be there celebrating all the milestones in heaven with her.
Much love and positivity from Vista, CA!

Hi Jessica! Ansley has such gorgeous eyes! We’re they your eyes, I wonder? Comparing the picture of you speaking and the first one of her eating they seem to have the same shape. I’m so sorry for your loss and for the pain you have each day of missing her. I’m so glad I was able to see Ansley today and remember her with you. I prayed for you both tonight and will continue to think of her. She’s now part of my heart!
Much love (from Maryland),
Amanda
Jessica,
As someone who lost three babies before I had my daughter, I so understand. My husband is the only one who will ever say their names, and nobody else ever *wants* to remember, they just get uncomfortable and scuff their toes into the ground because they don’t like feeling uncomfortable.
They forget that the woman at the center of it all always feels that way.
It’s been five years since I lost my first daughter, and four years since I lost my last son, but I will always remember them.
Your daughter will always be remembered… Ansley will forever be in your heart. Love to you and your family.

Dear Jessica,
My name is Priscilla. I’m from Kentucky. A lady in a mama’s group I’m apart of on fb shared this. Ansley looks beautiful and you sound strong. I lost a niece a few years back. She died in my sister’s womb and was born still born a couple days before Christmas. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about that baby. I’ve always been too scared to tell my sister that. Thank you for showing us that it’s comforting to have people remind you that that precious life you gave and lost is forever a part of you.
Dear Jessica,
I’m writing you from California, I know maybe it’s been a tough day for you but remember Ansley is in heaven celebrating her birthday with the best of the best!
I lost my baby nephew a month ago, unexpectedly; and this has been one of the worst thing that happen to my life but at the same time, I’m pretty sure that when my lil Rodrigo had his last breath on earth, it was his first breath on heaven.
I send you a big hug, lots of love and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Linda.
What precious photos of your sweet Ansley. Privileged that you shared your heart with all of us. Even when the joy is restored, the ache in a momma’s heart still remains for her little one. Your Ansley and my Grace are wrapped safe in the arms of Jesus together. Tearfully lifting you in prayer from Nebraska as you remember her precious life.
From NY, thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of Ansley with a message so many need to hear. ♥
Jessica – Ansley is a beautiful girl and certainly one of God’s chosen spirits. I have a strong faith that one day you will be reunited. Sending love from Nevada out your way that you may be comforted and strengthened until that day arrives.
Bless you, mama, on this day of hurt. Ansley is not forgotten.
Thinking and praying for you in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
Jessica – Many hugs, prayers, and thoughts for you, Ansley, and your family.

Dear Jessica,
I was about to head to bed, literally ready just to fall into bed ( like all of us mamas) and yet I grabbed my ipad, thinking i just wanted to see if Glendon had posted anything today. I read her post and cried for you and for how much I can’t imagine you miss Ansley. I don’t know what to say …but I wanted to tell you I am thinking of you and will for real be praying that your memory will forever remain strong when it comes to every last detail about your little angel. The power and love of women is make keeps this world real…
love from San Diego,
Lisa
Hi Jessica –
It’s the day after Ansley’s birthday but I wanted to send a note to say I’m thinking about her and you, still.
It’s a cold night in Minneapolis (record cold — it should be 80ish…contrary to common belief, it does get warm here :0) and I was up sifting through Facebook. I kept thinking “Stop. Go to bed.” I felt like I was looking for a certain post but couldn’t find it. Then I did. This one.
Happy-the-day-after-birthday to Ansley. Happy Angel Day to you.
Godspeed.
CR

Thank you for showing us how to support those who have lost little ones. It feels so hard to do, yet really is so simple. Show up. Show love.
And thank you for introducing me to the phrase Angel Day. Such a difficult day, not quite softened with words, but so much easier to say.
Thinking of you and of Ansley today. Saying her name out loud.
And thinking of you as well Anthony. From Encinitas, CA.
Thinking of you and the loss of Ashley today. My husbands first child died if leukemia at 5 1/2 in 1982. Her name is Shannon and it has been very difficult for him to speak of her. No one talks about it. Thank you for asking the question and providing an open and honest response.

no one remembers, no one dares to say anything
God bless you for making it another day xoxo Rebecca
Jessica, Today, on Ansley’s Angel day, I wish you joy in your memories, peace in your heart and I hope that your knowledge that you are not alone helps you bear the pain we know too well. I have 4 Angel boys and 6 days every year to get through. Even though it’s been 40 years now, I remember their smells and their soft skin and their tiny cries and sounds……. Love and peace to you today.

Dear Jessica, I’m sending you love, strength and all the warmest wishes for peace, comfort and everything good in your life. May Ansley’s memory be for a blessing. Sending all the best to you from Jerusalem, Israel.
I am a mother of three and want to tell you
Mother to mother that I will think of Ansley and her precious face. I saw the
Pictures you posted. I read what you said and them when I saw Ansley’s sweet birthday picture I thought of my children who are all young.
Before I knew it I had tears. I can not imagine your pain,
Your loss or your emptiness. My prayer to God is that somehow, someday
You have peace. Maybe you already do, if so you are a brave, brave mother. My deepest thoughts are with you and your precious little girl!
Jessica, I cannot imagine the sadness of losing a little girl. Ansley was a beautiful child. She will always be a part of you. And the love in your heart for her will be forever. Think of her often, talk of her to others, celebrate the gift she was to the world for that brief time and try to believe in a place of love and goodness where we all will someday be and where she is now. Thinking of you…
Sending love from NH
Jessica, your Ainsley was a very beautiful little girl and obviously well loved. I know she is with you today and everyday. Love an heartfelt Prayers from Oklahoma.
Jessica, my heart goes out to you tonight from Colorado. Thank you for allowing us to share in your loss. Ansley is beautiful beyond words. Wishing you peace and love and healing. I’m so very sorry.
Jessica- you are in my heart tonight- along with my Brother and Sister in law who lost their son. I pray for you and I pray that Ansley and our Brian are loving and laughing and watching over all of you. God Bless you Jessica- and there are many prayers for you tonight.
Terry Maalen- Las Vegas, Nevada
Jessica, thank you for bravely standing up and calling us to do something that is so hard but so important! I appreciate your reminder to us to be real and open with the people that we love who are grieving and missing their sweet loved ones. Thank you for sharing Ansley’s photos with us today. Her smile is quite contagious!
I like to think it was Ansley encouraging you to speak up in the midst of those 400 women. She is with you today and always. Please don’t forget there are amazing people to lift you up, carry you through, and keep Ansley ‘ s memory alive until you see her again.
Thinking of you on Ansley’s Day. What a beautiful name! I will say a prayer for you and your family tonight. What an amazing mom you are and such a great example of a strong woman! Thank you for teaching all of us how to be there for others!
Jessica,
You and your family and your precious Ansley are remembered and honored and covered with love, not just today (which is an especially important day), but probably on more days than you realize…by people who just didn’t know what to say or do. Thank you for giving them the gift of knowledge so that (hopefully) they can give you the gift of love shown the way YOU need it to be expressed to you.
Your daughter was/is simply beautiful. I join you in celebrating the light she has brought to this world…how blessed she was to have you for her mama.
Lovingly…
Thinking of you and Ashley on this special day! I am from Waldron Arkansas and I also lost my daughter! I hope you have lots of good memories of your sweet baby today! Praying for peace and healing!!♡♡♡
Sending love from California, for the memory of your beautiful daughter, Ansley, thank you for reminding me to acknowledge not just recent grieving parents, but also my best friend, who lost baby Andrew a generation ago but who still remembers him with love. May you find some comfort in the words of all of us.
Jessica, My heart goes out to you. Ansley is such a beautiful little girl. I lost my son 3 years ago, he would be 33 years on July 21st. Like you , no one says his name , it is almost like he never existed, but he did!! He was a wonderful loving son, I miss him so. We will see our children again. That is what keeps me going.
With Love, Cynthia
I am so sorry for your pain…Thank you for reminding us to reach out to those we love who are hurting when we don’t know what to say or do. Ansley and you are in my thoughts and prayers tonight.
Bree in Tampa, Florida
I am crying and smiling along with you tonight as I look at these pictures of your beautiful girl Ansley. You are blessed to have had the time you did with her and I am truly sorry that time want long enough. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers today. Sending love from Charlottesville, Virginia.
*wasn’t long enough. ..
Jessica, my heart is with you tonight. I have 2 babies in Heaven. One I haven’t met yet, and our son Henry. I know how beautiful and precious it is to see and hear Ansley’s name. May your heart be full of love and your burden be lightened by all the people here grieving and also rejoicing with you over Ansley’s precious life. Hugs from Houston, TX.
Dear Jessica, Ansley is not forgotten, she will always be with you. I lost my husband 9 years ago, and although the loss is different it is the same in that I need the same things you do…for people to speak his name, and ask me about him. People find it difficult to be with you when you are in so much pain. I hear you. I feel for you. I send you love and strength from New Zealand. Kia Kaha.
Sending all my love to Ansley’s Mama from Ireland. Always in our hearts, never forgotten. God bless.
You, your family and Ansley are in my prayers. God bless. From Laramie, Wyoming.

I know this day is hard for you. Know Ashley & this day is not forgotten. Thank you for not being silent and having a voice. So many do not think they have a voice & grieve & hurt in silence. May you be blessed and filled with joy, hope, & peace even when you don’t feel that you can.

My heart is heavy for your loss. I pray for you and Ansley. Much love from Grande Prairie, Alberta Canada.
Jessica, I understand your pain as I lost my son at age 19 12 years ago. Many people are not comfortable bringing up the subject of our precious angel children, but we must not forget them. They are still our children, just now in a heavenly setting. May God bless you today and each day. (Greenville Mississippi)
Thinking of you today especially. Breathe…
Ansley is such a beautiful name. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Dear Jessica; Ansley’s mom, I’m so sorry for your loss. I have been blessed with 3 beautiful daughters and have never lost a child but it is one of my greatest fears. I lost my mom when I was just 19 and now, almost 18 years later, I see how my grandparents (now 90 & 94) still hurt. * I * still hurt! But as much as i also hurt for so many years over no longer having a mom, (especially getting married and entering into motherhood myself), my perspective has since changed. Being a mother now, all i think is the pain my grandparents have felt over losing their daughter. I just can’t even imagine. But you know, even when we’ve lost someone closest to us, we have to remember the happy times, because they remind us of just how lucky we are to have been allowed to love them so deeply and be loved by them. And that love will never die. Remember Ansley with a smile because I’m sure that’s how she loved to see you best!
Hugs from Tampa
Jessica, a friend of mine shared this with me (following the instruction in step 2) because I too have lost a baby girl 8 months ago. Jane was 13 months old. I am so sorry you have to endure this unimaginable pain. Please know that you, your sweet family and Ansley will be in my prayers tonight from Redlands, California.
What a beautiful little girl! I hope you will find some comfort in knowing that you do not walk this journey alone. I will pray for you and your family. I believe that one day, you will all be together again.
Toni, Huntington Beach, CA
Praying for Jessica, her beautiful daughter Ansley, and all parents who have lost children.
I am carrying you and Ansley so gently in my heart tonight. I feel the echoes of your loss rip through the internet and into me. I wish the words “I’m sorry for your loss” were bigger and stronger to soothe your pain because I would say them over and over again: I’m sorry, so sorry, Jessica for your loss. May you find comfort that holds you deeply and rocks you gently.
Think of your beautiful girl Ansley and your family today.
Thoughts and prayers from Sydney, Australia.
Love to you, Jessica, and your entire family! So honored to “meet’ your daughter Ansley. She’s beautiful! I’m so sorry she’s not here with you. From one babyloss mama to another, what you said is beautiful and perfect – show up, and say something! Xo.

Holding you and Ansley in the light tonight, Jessica. And feeling grateful that your standing up helped a friend of mine say my sweet son’s name to me again, which seems more and more seldom as the months roll by since his death. Thank you.
Dear Jessica, Ansley is thought of here at the bottom of the world today (Tasmania, Australia). I hope today is filled with sweet memories of your precious daughter. I’m so sorry.
Sister in Christ, you are beautiful and strong, your sweet baby girl can never be forgotten. As someone who came out against all odds I always question my purpose. I will pray for you and your sweet girl. I never understand why. But it’s in the whys where we get rooted in Christ’s love. Ansley is a beautiful name. Never to be forgotten. Much love for you. I pray that you are encircled by people who love you. Katherine from Fort Worth Texas
Showing up to join the throngs and remind you that God holds you close, my friend. Blessings in these angel hours and days.
Sending love your way 🙂
I am blessed to have the honor of sharing such a beautiful name with such a beautiful little girl. I may not know the depths of your loss, but I do know that when my heart is ladened with grief, my soul finds rest in “there may be pain in the night, but joy comes with the morning.” I know your time with this beautiful Ansley was brief, brevity is beauty, she made your life so beautiful… Remember that today, remember just how beautiful your life was and is because she caressed it with her tiny precious hands.
“Maybe it’s not about having a beautiful day, but about finding beautiful moments. Maybe a whole day is just too much to ask. I could choose to believe that in every day, in all things, no matter how dark and ugly, there are shards of beauty if I look for them.”
Prayers for you and your family today.

I wish I had the words to ease your pain, I have no doubt that Ansley is celebrating in heaven, waiting to be reunited one day. Please know someone in West Birginia is praying for comfort for you 🙂
Thinking of you and your sweet baby tonight in Houston.
Jessica-
I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t really understand the loss of your beautiful Ansley but I look at my son or think of my soon to be born child and can only imagine what you have been through and what you will always go through. It’s clear Ansley was loved and will never be forgotten.
Ansley is beautiful, Jessica! Praying comfort and peace for you until you get to hug Ansley again. ❤
– Diane from Richmond, Virginia
Dear Jessica & Family,
I am so, so very sorry about you losing your beautiful Ansley before you should have. No parent should ever have to endure the loss of their child. It is one of the things in this world that I am going to bend God’s ear about when I get to heaven. I can’t even begin to imagine your pain and my heart just aches for you. But despite what you have been through I am sure it was a blessing just to have known her and held her – if only for a little while. You will be in my prayers and I wish you much comfort, love, and peace.
With So much Love, Kristen from St. Michael, MN
Thank you for reminding me to get in touch with a friend who lost her daughter 2 years ago. I often wonder if I am saying the right thing, but I guess something is better than nothing.
I am so sorry for your loss. Ansley was beautiful and looks like pure joy.
Praying for you in Seattle, that God gives you a spiritual moment with your daughter Ansley, even though she can’t be with you physically. I can’t imagine your pain and sorrow. I am sending my love, from a mother to a mother.
You do not walk this path alone. There are many of us out there. Many of us who wonder where our friends and family went.
You are not alone. Ansley is not forgotten. ::hugs::
Jessica, your Ansley is deeply loved and remembered today. Thank you for having the courage to speak for so many that are hurting and giving confidence to those of us that unsure of how to respond. With love from Chicago.
Remembering Ansley and crying tears of heartache for someone I don’t know. As a mother, I can’t even begin to imagine your pain, but you have helped me understand how to be there in the most difficult moments. Georgetown, TX.
Thinking of beautiful Ansley and her grieving mama. xoxo
I almost didn’t comment because I didn’t know what to say. But I’m going to show up, even in this little way, even though I don’t really know how.
Sweet Ansley. I love her name. And are you KIDDING ME with that adorable little smile? And I’m loving the pictures of her eating- a girl after my own heart. It pains me that someone could forget this precious little girl. Today I remember her. And I’m sending a prayer up for you and your family.
*Got an error message…forgive me if this posts twice
Jessica, thank you for bravely standing up and expressing beautifully what is on the hearts of all grieving parents. It has been two years for us since we lost our teenage daughter Grace, under almost unbelievable circumstances… I am bewildered, and still sometimes wonder if I am in a nightmare and simply can’t wake up, while it seems those closest to us never mention her name. A friend reached out to me (and remembered Grace) by way of this Blog (thank you Glennon!) because of you. God bless you and Happy Birthday to your sweet Ansley. Prayers for peace and healing for you and your family. As for our precious girls, I am certain that they are having a celebration like no other together on the other side. Love, light and hugs to you.

I’m touched by your story. Thank you for sharing and for reminding us how to show that we care. Ansley was your blessing and still is. She is loved by God who loves the most.
Dear Jessica,
I am sorry for your loss. As I tell my daughters, a mother and her child’s hearts are connected by an invisible string. When you feel that pull in your chest it is little Ansley giving a tug letting you know she loves you and you also haven’t been forgotten.
You will always be her sweet Momma and she your beautiful girl <3
~Megan in Seattle WA
Ansley… what an absolutely beautiful child. I pray for your Mommy’s comfort, little one. She must be sick without you – though you’re in Your Perfect Daddy’s arms, safe and glorious. God bless your family as they learn how to carry this pain.
God Bless you Jessica. What a brave Mama Ansley has! And she is such a beautiful baby! Big brown eyes and brown hair!
I am the mama of 4 littles and today when I needed it the most you reminded me what a GIFT we have.. The gift of every precious day with them..
God bless you and comfort you every single day until you hold her again..
Much love from Vista California
I hope the beautiful memories of your daughter Ansley can carry you through the dark patches x
