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.
Love,

Dear Jessica,
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for your heart to heal. Sending love to your family. You are so courageous. Thank you for letting us know of your sweet angel Ansley
Hello Jessica. I’m Nicole from Alabama. I too am stopping “my world” to let you know I am thinking about you and your precious daughter, Ansley. I know that you did not stop being Ansley’s mama when she died and you never will. I can only imagine how much pain and loss you are feeling. I have two daughters myself and just the thought of losing either of them makes me feel sick. I have been an eye witness to my own mother’s crippling grief over the loss of her other daughter….my sister…. Her name is Holly. She is 28. She will always be 28. She should be turning 40 on August 22. Although I have struggled with my own grief and still do, witnessing my mother’s pain has been worse and most of the time, impossible, for me to share with her. It overwhelms her and then me to a point of just shutting down both emotionally and physically. I know that Ansley’s death has affected you, changed you, hurt you in the same way Holly’s death affected my mom. I want you to know that I will remember Ansley and I will remember you especially today…. Ansley’s Angel Day. I wish you every wonderful memory you have of Ansley. I hope you recall not just birthdays and holidays today but also the “little things” like the sound of her laughter because those little things are actually the big things that live on in your heart and soul. Happy Angel Day, Ansley!
– Never forget,
Nicole

Pray that your daughters happy memories lives on and that you an those who share losses like yours are given strength an courage to pass through these times of grief. God bless
Ansley has touched so many lives and will never be forgotten.
Ansley has touched so many lives and will never be forgotten!
Thanks for this. I have a couple friends who have lost babies. I sometimes bring them up, but feel so awkward doing so. We haven’t forgotten. We don’t know how to act. We don’t know that it’s better to bring them up.

Jessica,
I feel your pain. My sister, Molly died 5 years ago and I think of her everyday but few utter her name. Thank you for the reminder for me to speak the names of loved ones lost, to pass this advice along and to reach out to others who have lost and tell them I am still remembering many years later! Ansley is remembered and through you making a big impact on the world. May you know that so many others are thinking of you and your little girl today!

All my love from Melbourne, Australia xx
My heart breaks for you on the loss of your beautiful Ansley. I will add her to the prayer I say everyday for those who are gone from us but are basking in the light of heaven.
Dear Jessica,
Your Ansley matters to me and your heart matters to me. I hope it helps to know that.

I lost my son to ALS six years ago. He is always on my mind. Yes, he was an adult when he died, but it doesn’t matter. I understand the hole in your life..

I am so sorry for your loss of Ansley, and so happy you will know her forever after this short life…
Sending love to you, Jessica, to your family and, of course, to your beautiful Ansley.xx Geelong, Australia
Hello Jessica — I lost my 15 year old Jessicah in a car accident 20 years ago. It’s such an obscene, insane, incomprehensible road to walk. SOO sorry you’ve had to walk it too. Praying that today is tender, bearable, full of unique and joyful memories… Praying that your eternal perspective continues to grow – focusing on where our girls are now, the mystery and beauty and wholeness and holiness of it – and what is to come for us – that’s how I keep putting one foot in front of the other. Until That Day – Bless you. 🙂 Ellen
Know that you don’t grieve alone, and that you aren’t celebrating Ansleys life alone. I will be thinking of your beautiful angel all day. And wishing your family peace on this difficult day. My baby brother is an angel to. Perhaps they can play together today :-). God Bless.
I sit here in tears for you Jessica as I read about your sweet angel Ansley. How proud she must be to have such a strong, brave Mummy. Ansley will never be forgotten, I for one will remember her through this story forever. X

Jessica, my heart breaks for you and the loss of your sweet Ansley. I too am a mother to a child taken too soon. I am just as much a mother to my son Connor as I am to his twin brother Logan & his big sister Arwyn. My loss is recent and I am already seeing people avoid saying Connor’s name. Please know that your Ansley will never be forgotten, she is a beautiful girl and deserves to be remembered and celebrated. Much love to you ❤️ Brittany from Noblesville, IN
I have a great niece named Ainsley (different spelling) that I will see this Saturday. I will now think of your sweet little girl when I hug and kiss her. I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter 7 years ago…..my heart and thoughts and prayers go out to you….
My angel husband will meet Ansley today, Jessica, and share an etherial ice cream cone. He is one to make her smile and loved.
From one mamas heart to another, you’re in my heart! All my love!

Jessica,
My own daughter is nine years old and I find it hard to breathe, imagining how I would go on if she died. You are are a strong woman and a beacon of hope for other grieving mothers out there who don’t have the courage or the words to stand up in such a forum and share with the rest of the world how you feel. I took your message to heart yesterday and contacted a half-dozen or so of my friends and family who have lost their spouses or children. I thank you for helping me realize that there iS something I can do–ever so slight as it may be– when I often feel so helpless and therefore do nothing. God bless you, and bless Ansley too. In prayers and monkee-hood, Amy Carroll
Jessica,
I gave my daughter and extra long cuddle tonight and thought of you and Ansley.
Xx
Jessica, Ansley, and family my thoughts and prayers are with you today and all throughout the year as you celebrate those special moments and memories you shared. Happy Angel day to a true angel!
I am very sorry for your loss.
Jessica,
Ansley was loved. She was an important part of this world. Your world. Please accept a big hug & know I’m going to tell my kids about her today. Tell them about you. Xoxo
Dear Jeccica, Your great loss has brought tears to my eyes. Your Ansley is so beautiful! I pray the God of comfort will wrap His arms around you, so that you can feel His love everyday. Muncie, Indiana.
Thinking of you and your precious Ansley. I think all of our angels must be playing together and watching over us. Wishing you comfort and peace. Hugs, Erin from NJ
So much love to you today, Jessica. From one mother to another. We lost our Laurel at birth two years ago. Grief is a lonesome journey, but know that you are not an outsider. You and Ansley are very much a part of this big, beautiful, hard world.
Jessica,
Your story—your sweet Ansley have touched my heart today. Thank you for allowing us into your world. I’ll think of you and your precious Ansley often!
Xo.
Thank you for understanding what you need and understanding the importance of speaking it. Thank you, from another mother who has lost a 2 year old unexpectedly, for vocalizing the crucial need we all have to continue to be recognized as “Ansley’s” mother. If anything, burying a child makes you more of a mother. Ansley continues to make a difference through you. Thank you for speaking up. My prayers are with you.
Holly Jackson
I’m a day late – but that happens.
Beautiful Ansley, she must be so missed.
I am so sorry you have to have an angel day, but thank you
for allowing this to be shared, I too have an angel in heaven, taken from
us by sudden unexpected death in epilepsy,
and I love nothing more than hearing memories of her life.
“She hid her tears and shared her laugh, and lived as she loved,
with all her heart”
Thanks you for letting us meet Ansley xox
Jessica, I’m sorry I’m a day late. Yesterday I was with a friend who has also sadly lost her little one, as we said goodbye to him. 5 of us from our original Birth Board (which has ebbed and flowed over the years, and I’ve only just come back to it, though we have all remained connected) went to the funeral. Many others wanted to go but couldn’t make it because of work/childcare etc. All of us want our friend to know that we are thinking of her and her boy, and are planning ways to make sure we keep on remembering. One of our group shared your story about how you have felt since you lost the gorgeous Anstey. Thank you for your words, they have reassured me that we’re doing the right thing. It is hard to think of what to say, and you do worry about saying the “wrong” thing. It’s good to know that just saying anything is better than saying nothing xx
I don’t know you but I stopped to read this. Thinking of you Jessica and Ansley. Ansley was beautiful. Sending big hugs from South Florida! xo
So lovely to see your beautiful daughter, Ansley. I promise to always show up. From Melbourne, Australia.
Hi Jessica. My thought go out to you and to Ainsley. I had a tubal pregnany when I was 19. In those days Dr.’s were very paternalistic and told me I never was pregnant but they took the fallopian tube out with the baby. My mother told me that I had been pregnant in fact two years ago. I was 1 year old. I grieved for this baby even though it was so long ago.
I have had a lot of grief and loss in my life half of my family of origin in less than one year and three deaths to cancer this year alone, including my best friend last month. People just don’t talk about the dearly departed with the survivors anymore after the first few months. We need to change that as a society. God Bless you!!!
Dear Jessica – Mom of Ansley!
I cannot imagine the pain you have to go through. May you feel God close today in all the mails and tears shed together with you.
Lots of love from Germany,
Christina
Much love to you. Your Ansley is beautiful.from New Zealand
I will remember your Ashley, and you, you words touched my soul.
Thank you for sharing your heart. <3 Ashley will not be forgotten. <3
Jessica, as a mum my heart just breaks for you. I’m so pleased to be able to put a face to Ansley’s name. What a gorgeous little girl. I look forward to meeting her in Heaven. Thank you for sharing your story and for the lesson you have taught me. May God bless you and keep you. Big hugs from South Australia! Shirley xxx
Ansley. Jessica. Thinking of you today. Surrounding you with love and prayers. You are not alone.
My sister in-law lost her son, 14, sudden death in February just a few days after his birthday. :'( It was heartbreaking and still is, it hurts when we remember him but it puts a smile on our faces to know he’s in a better place now. – from Abu Dhabi, UAE
Jessica- I wanted to tell you that I am praying for you and your beautiful little girl. I think that a parent’s worst fear in the loss of their child is that they will be forgotten. That the world will not remember how very much they mattered. I know that fear. I lost my youngest son Cooper 4 1/2 years ago. He was 13. I am so glad that you asked the question you did in that gathering of women! Your willingness to share Ansley’s name in that forum lead to me being able to pray for her and you today. It also let me share my loss of Cooper. Just want you to know that I am holding your Ansley in my heart. God bless you Mama! Kris from St Paul Minnesota
May wonderful memories of your precious sweet girl be with you today. May God bless you and be with you today and always.
Dear Jessica, as Ansleys mam you’ve seen both the beauty and the pain of this world. You’ve had the privilege and joy to become a mom, to receive the biggest gift life has to offer. But you also had to go through the agony of giving her back. These two events define who you are. And I’m sorry for all the people who don’t see that. For all the people that forget to mention your little girl. I hope that today you feel like people care. When you stood up during that conference you started a change. People heard, some understood. Now your story is on the internet and people from all over the world can read it. We will think about you and little Ansley, we will think about our own friends who went through a great loss. Maybe your story will teach us that we hurt more by ignoring what happened than we will ever do by saying the wrong thing. Thank you for your courage. May God bless you. Jantine
Prayers are with you, yesterday and today and every day going forward. Ansley may be gone but she will
Never ever be forgotten.
What a beauitful adorable little princess, our hearts go out to you all the way from New Zealand xxx
Hi Jessica, I’m very moved by your story, so here’s a big shout ANSLEY!!…all the way from New Zealand. Hugs and blessings xx
Hey Jessica, I’m sorry you have to experience Ansley’s Angel day…..and every other day…without her. My wife lost her son 8 years ago and so often she says exactly what you said. Brody mattered…he still matters. I never got the chance to know him but I do my best to let her know that my arms are always open for her. I do sincerely hope that you have someone like that there for you. Take care honey….big hugs from Teresa Evans in Fergus, Ontario, Canada
Ansley is being thought about as far as NZ. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, mamma Jessica.

Ansley mattered. She STILL matters. And she always will. I know the pain of losing a child, and I firmly believe that my loss is temporary–that I WILL be reunited with my child someday. For now, I take comfort in my hope for the future–and even the present, knowing that my child is out of the reach of anything that could hurt him. May you find comfort and strength in the peace of others and your hope for the present and future.
.. May you be strengthened today as you celebrate this special day in remembering your beautiful Ashley. I cannot imagine the pain but Jesus does and may He hold you in a special way today… Hugs from Maine
Ansley’s Mama,
Sending you prayers from Chicago.
Jessica, know that you were prayed for as you continue to grieve Ansley’s death.

Hello Jessica. I am praying for you and your family and trust that God is in control. You are an amazing woman and will forever be Ansley’s brave mama! Thank you for sharing your heart and for allowing the whole world to meet and remember Ansley through your words and memories. You and Ansley have touched the world and reminded mommies everywhere about the importance of celebrating every precious moment we get with our babies. May God grant you peace and healing. From Atlanta, GA.
Ansley. Happy Birthday sweetheart. Your Mama has not forgotten you and now that I know who u are I won’t forget. I too had a son that went to heaven and I feel the same way your Mama does. He was my only child his name is Jason and I know it has to be a big place in heaven but maybe if u call out his name he will hear you. He loved kids and loved to coach and play during his school years. I promise he will pick you up and give you big hug and rift your birthday dance and sing with the angels choir. I won’t forget next year or anymore years. Happy Birthday Ansley!!!! Love Tami L DiBella Sweet
This is beautiful.
You’re one strong lady Jessica. I know the pain of having your world taken away from you and people not saying anything. It’s one of the hardest things ever. My thoughts are with you on this day!

Just read this but wanted to still send peace and love to you.
i cannot even imagine what you are going through, you are so strong and there is so much love in the universe for you and your baby girl Ansley – there is still good and joy ahead for you. from New Zealand

Jessica, the light in your little Ansley’s eyes and the joy in her smile strike me as things more eternal in nature whose beauty will simply not fade with the passage of time. I send prayers from Kailua, Hawaii on your family’s behalf today–for a peace that surpasses understanding and for family and friends to stand in the gap with you and allow it to be filled with stories and memories of your little angel…

Ansley was a beautiful child! I am standing with you today and thinking of your beautiful daughter. One day, you will meet her again. Till then she will play in the beautiful garden, up in Heaven. Hugs!

Happy Birthday, Ansley. I never have met you, nor your mother, but as another mother who is now and forever a grieving mother, I wanted to share that you have made, and continue to make, a big impact in this world. For all the mothers, fathers, siblings, and special loved ones of our most tender babies, I’m sending you hugs. It may seem small, but one can never have enough hugs and those hugs add up to support. Ansley, Ethan, Caden, Phoenix, Niquelle, Analise, Viviana, Alejandro, Henry, Baby Perlis, Loula, Korbin, Harrison, Matthew, and every other child no longer in our arms has deeply impacted our souls; they matter. Still. Always.
Sweet memories of your baby girl, are what I pray for you…Always in your heart & never forgotten…may you be soothed by a God that loves you more than your painful loss….
I read this with tears in my eyes. Ansley is beautiful and precious and lovely. I ache for you, Mama. Sending love from Germany today.
Happy angel day Ansley. What a beautiful little pricess!! God bless you on her special day.

oh, and I currently live in Braga, Northern Portugal
Jessica,
I’m from California.
My heart aches for you. The loss of anyone we love is heartbreaking, but the loss of a child is just not the “natural order” of things. We expect to see our children grow up, graduate, get married…have children of their own. When each of those birthdays or milestones come, we are reminded of the magnitude of our loss. I can only imagine how devastating those reminders can be.
It took courage to stand up and share about a void so vast that it can never be filled in this life. I know no words I could say that could begin to touch the ache and longing in your heart. I will not say, “she is in heaven”- because you already know that. The loneliness you feel is because you want her HERE. Anyone in your place would – and that’s okay. It’s exactly how you should feel. You lost a piece of your heart. I think one of the things we say as Christians is that death is to be celebrated. I don’t agree with that. We celebrate the resurrection. Death is the enemy..the last enemy Jesus came to defeat. Praise His name-He DID defeat it. Because of that – though we grieve (and we DO grieve) – we do not grieve without hope.
One day, you will hold your beautiful Ansley again. You will stroke her hair and feel her arms around your neck. You will tell her how much you’ve missed her, and how deeply you love her. At that moment, you will feel so much joy in the knowledge that nothing will EVER take her from your arms again.
Only a parent who knows the ache of losing a child in this life, can feel the immense joy of that joyful reunion in the next. That longing, that ache, will be filled. God will walk among us-His glory will be our light. No longer will we be filled with questions about the suffering we endured on earth. He will wipe away every tear and hold the in His hand. In that moment, those strings we saw dangling down in a confusing maze of loss and brokenness, will suddenly make sense, for we will get a “top down” look at His beautiful tapestry.
Until that day, may God’s Holy Spirit give you comfort, strength, and hope.
Love in Christ, Myrna
Jessica, thinking of you and Ansley. We remember her and we say her beautiful name in the memory of an all-too-short life. With love and hugs from Michigan
Jessica, thinking of you today as you celebrate your precious daughter Ansley and her footprints and handprints in your lives. My daughter Joy died shortly after birth last year and baby/child loss is one of the most horrific things on the planet. Hoping today through the tears you experience joy and thankfulness as well. Blessings!
Amanda
Ansley, what a beautiful name! What a beautiful little doll baby! Love prayers and HUGS!!!
My first daughter Natalie died when she was two days old, so unfortunately I can sympathize your pain. I know they are sitting with Jesus today snuggling with Him and eating cupcakes for Ansley’s special day. I’m so sorry you can’t hold Ansley today but so thankful Jesus promised us Heaven so we can see our precious girls again. Praying for a bit of peace for your broken heart (((hugs)))
The heart-breaking love of your daughter is one of the last things I will think about tonight. One of my closest friends lost her baby girl in April 2010. I am just a tourist in the vast landscape of her grief, but I still weep and rage when I think about that child’s death. I don’t understand. And I never will.
My hope for you is that you know that there is a circle of women holding your hand. We are grieving Ansley with you. Words fail me, except for the ones that seem so simple. Too simple. But I’ll write them anyway: I’m so, so sorry for your loss. You are not alone.
Love and much light from Menlo Park, California,
Christine
What a beautiful name, Ansley. Wishing you many wonderful memories of your precious sweet girl. God bless you.
Love to you from Hawaii
Oh wow!! Your girl — your Ansley… what an adorable peach. With tears streaming down my face, I’m thinking of you and your whole family with love, Jessica from Wisconsin
Jessica, I stopped my day today to read this and I’m so glad I did. I don’t know you or your beautiful girl but I feel like I can send you my love and my prayers for you today and everyday. What a brave woman you are and thankyou for the reminder that we just need to Show up. xxxx
Jessica,
Your baby girl, Ansley, beautiful. I’m late to the angel party but I wanted you to know I am thinking of you and your family. Much love and I wish I could give you a hug. I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t fathom your pain. Know that we care.
