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 and prayers for you and your sweet Ansley, coming to you from Gosport, Indiana.
Jessica,
Ansley is such a beautiful name. And what a perfect name for such a beautiful little girl. I’m so sorry for your loss and your pain. I lost my sweet baby girl, Rebecca, in April. She spent 5 1/2 days on this earth before God called her home. I like to think that your Ansley and all the other sweet babies who left this world too soon were there to meet her.
I’ll be holding you in my prayers today as you mourn the loss of your little Ansley.
Love,
Beth
Lexington, NC
Jessica, my heart is with you as you remember your precious Ansley today (and everyday). Every child is special.
Ansley…what a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl. Sending you prayers and love today from Texas.
Jessica… I’m in Dallas holding space for you, Ansley, and all who loved her today. I hope today is exactly what it should be for you. 🙂
Praying for you and your beautiful angel Ansley!
Love from Smithfield Virginia
Jessica, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I don’t know any stories about Ansley to share but can say her name for you now and practice love, laughter, fun, and compassion today in her, and your, honor.

Jessica, I am thinking of you and your precious Ansley today. Praying you are flooded with beautiful memories of her and knowing that though her life was too short, her legacy is forever!
My sweet baby Grant passed away at four months old, he would have turned 1 on July 1, 2014. We love and miss him every minute. Thank you for this post, it is all so true and puts beautiful words to something I have felt but could not express myself.
Prayers to you, Rachel and your sweet Grant. So sorry for your loss.
Jessica,
I am thinking of you today and your sweet sweet angel Ainsley. Please know that you are not alone. I thank you for sharing your truth.
God bless you today and every day and may you feel that you aren’t alone.

The timing of your story, Jessica, about losing Ansley, is surreal for me. Less than 24 hours ago my friend of almost 40 years buried her 21 year old son after a horrific car accident. 800 people came to mourn Adam. We all went back to a friend’s home after the funeral, when it hit me….how will these two wonderful parents go on when so many those here today stop showing up and calling and talking about Adam.
I will forward this to my girlfriends. Have a peaceful day of memories, Jessica.

Hello Jessica,
From Hagerstown, MD
How deeply the heart aches everyday but especially on certain days. I hope that all of our thoughts, prayers and wishes can feel like one giant hug offering you some level of comfort, love and support. Ansley is always with you, everywhere you are, she is! May you find a little peace in each and every thought and emotion that seems to come pouring in full force every single day.
Brave Mama Jessica, you are not alone today. I am so sorry for your loss. Today I will cry with you for a moment and then I will celebrate the life of your beautiful Ansley. Here for you in Chicago with love and support. I will remember you and your precious girl in my heart.
Jessica,
Hugs to you today. Thank you for allowing us to hear your story. Ansley is not forgotten and neither are you.
Dear sweet Jessica,
You are loved by so many monkees! Thank you for speaking out about your sweet Ansley. You are so right – you ARE Ansley’s Mom! She was so incredibly fortunate to have you for a Mom! I’m sure she is looking down at you right now grinning from ear to ear, proud of her Mom for standing up and sharing her story with all of us. My Mom lost her 6 year old son (my brother) 20 years ago from a cancerous brain tumor on 7/31/94. She buried Troy on her 39th birthday. I never understood why or how she did it. But, Moms never stop thinking about their children. So, it doesn’t really matter when the funeral was held…I know she thinks of him every hour of every day (even after 20 years), as do I and my Dad and lots of family and friends. We LOVE when people share their memories. I am blessed with a 4 year old Leah…she sings in the bathroom just like Troy always did. She loves to go fishing with her Dad just like Troy did. I praise God for these signs that everything is OK. I will be praying and thinking of you today and always. We really do belong to each other, Jessica!
Love, Kari (Iowa)
P.S. I keep trying to post and it says, “You’re posting comments too fast!” How incredible…
Jessica,
We are here for you today in honor of sweet Ansley. All my love, from here in Alabama.
Jess G.
Your story was very touching and honest.
Your beautiful Ansley is not forgotten. Stay strong Jessica.
Jessica, our hearts are with Ansley and you and all who love her, on this heartbreaking day. Love from Mount Prospect, Illinois.
Dear Jessica, I too lost my baby boy almost 7 years ago. I completely agree with you. We as their mothers love to hear their names…I talk about our son all the time. It brings me joy to talk about him. I am thinking of sweet Ansley today and saying a prayer for you. -Brittany, from Memphis, TN
Jessica,

Jessica, what a beautiful girl, your Ansley! Thank you for being her wonderful momma during her time on this earth. However short it may have been, I’m sure the Big Guy is proud of you. And His heart aches with yours (and mine), and He rejoices with you when you recall all the precious, happy moments. Bless you!

Hi Jessica,
From Middletown, CT, I lost a baby at 26 weeks. I can’t begin to know the pain of losing a child who has been such an integral part of your life. But I am a mom and I can only imagine the pain. Ansley is such a beautiful girl and the beauty of her soul is still with you. My thoughts, and prayers are with you from one mother to another. Sending light and love.
Jessica, this is sarah from ky, and I want you to know that your beautiful daughter has touched a lot of people on this earth, because her mama refuses to let her be forgotten. Thank you for sharing your story with us, so that we might all hold our precious ones closer today, and use gentler tones with them, and remind them of our love while we still have them with us on this side of heaven. I am praying for peace and comfort for you today, and every day.
Thinking of your sweet baby girl Ansley today.
Jessica as I read this my eyes were filled with tears and my heart breaks for you and your family. Ansley is such a beautiful girl and I know your heart is filled with wonderful memories with her. Lots of love for you and Ansley today and everyday from Frankfort Illinois.
Jessica,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I would love to hear stories about your darling girl Ansley – I am guessing you have many based on the smile on her face in the pictures. May you be surrounded by love today and every day.

Jessica…your sweet baby girl Ansley will live forever in your heart and now in the hearts many more! I send my love from Henderson, NV.
What a beautiful girl! I’m praying that God is very close to you today.
Jessica,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers today as you remember and miss your precious daughter, Ansley. Thanks for your courage and bravery in sharing what you need most! May the God of all comfort draw especially close to you and your family today! Blessings to you from Orlando, FL
Jessica, Ansely’s Mama,
Your beautiful, sweet baby girl is remembered by so many today. I have never met you but my mama’s heart is connected to your mama’s heart and today my world is stopping for a moment to cry with you and send you hugs across the miles. Praying that God will whisper Ansely’s name in your ear in those moments you need to hear it the most. Standing with you in Monroe, MI. <3
I’m so so sorry for the loss of your precious child Ansley. Love and prayers from Plano TX.
Jessica, shedding tears with you today as you remember your beloved Ansley. Grace and peace, Sarah from Virginia
Jessica, as a fellow bereaved mom, I commiserate with you. I feel it, too, that most friends and family members ignore the dates and fail to speak her name. And when I bring her up in conversation, it feels awkward… I hate that… I so appreciate the few who do speak of her, effortlessly, meaningfully. Thinking of you and your precious Ansley today, and remembering her with love.
My daughter’s name was Shea.
Thank you for helping me understand a little better.
I’m so sorry you lost your little girl.
You are both in my prayers.
I’m thinking of your sweet Ansley today. You have touched me and helped me be a better friend to other parents of angel babies.
Jessica, your precious Ansley’s Angel Day is the same day as my precious Sebastian’s birthday. He is 2 today. I can’t imagine going a day without seeing his sparkling eyes and hearing his joyous laugh. My heart aches for you as a mother. Know that precious Ansley is in the arms of angels, and you are in the arms or warriors. Much love from Washington DC.
Thinking of you and Ansley today in Richmond, VA. I am so glad to have read this story because I have always felt like I shouldn’t bring up something that might make someone sad. It makes so much more sense when I consider that a person is most certainly already thinking of their loved one and they would prefer to know that others are as well.
Your Ansley is beautiful Jessica. I know your feelings. Next Tuesday (July 22nd) will be my Matthew’s third angel day. Big hugs. Know your daughter is not forgotten!!
Dear Jessica, Ansley looks like the sweetest thing on earth! I can only imagine the wound in your heart that keeps getting the scab ripped off every day. Waking up must be so hard and going to bed at night even harder. I hope that this verse will in some way provide you with something to look forward to:
“You’ll see it with you own eyes – all those painful partings turned into reunions! God’s Promise.” Zephaniah 3:20
My mother’s heart hurts with you today even though it is not capable of enduring what you have endured. God only gives us the strength for the suffering that we personally endure. He has given you a special measure of strength that I have not received and hope I never do. May you feel it today as He carries you through Ansley’s 9th birthday. I’m sure she is saying to you, “Don’t worry Mommy, I am having a great time and you will be with me soon. Time makes no sense to me, so I feel like I will see you tomorrow. I know it seems like forever for you, but I’m waiting and smiling and having the best birthday cake ever!”
Prayers and love from Jill Bass in Indianapolis, IN.
Hi Jessica,
Thinking of you and Ansley today. I am touched by your beautiful angel and your fierce mama strength.
Love and hope from NJ
Dearest Jessica, you are absolutely right. Our lost children are not taboo subjects. Instead, they are our worlds. Whether earthly or heavenly, it does not matter – our children are our universe. Our children are never far from our hearts and hearing their names come out of the mouths of others validates their time on earth, our own existence as a mother, and the power of parent/child, mother/daughter love. My own broken heart goes out to you and your beautiful Ansley today from Charlottesville, Virginia.
Stacey & Angel Julia
I lost my first grandchild in March.I totally agree, I rather someone ask about John Pearson than ignore our loss of him. I hope I never have to experience what you and my son have. The loss of a child. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts today.
My favorite quote for my grandson, “If loved could have saved you, you would have lived forever”. But they do live forever, in our hearts and in our memories.

Jessica, I am so sorry about the loss of your precious daughter, Ansley. I hope that you feel some comfort today in the knowledge that people around the world are keeping you both in their thoughts. Sending hugs and love from Seattle.
Jessica-Today, from North Carolina, I say a prayer for you and Ansley. I say a prayer for strength and memory and catharsis and love and hope for you. My sister died when I was younger and I watched my mom grieve the loss. I simply cannot fathom losing my baby. Hugs and love to you.
Jessica,
My daughter passed 45 days ago and I have thought about the same things. For others to share stories of my daughter, are as close to new memories of her as I will get. Thank you for voicing your thoughts.

Dear Jessica,

Thinking of you, Jessica and your Angel Ansley.
Hi Jessica,
I’m from Indianapolis originally but am living in Northern California right now. I read this article and had tears in my eyes by the end. What a sweetheart your Ansley is. We lost our son Henry at 32 weeks and the pain is never ending. I know that their spirits are together with all the others taken too soon. Be gentle with yourself today – surround yourself with love and you’ll feel her spirit burst forth from your heart.
Sending love to you today,
Kathleen

Hugs, Amy

Reading about your loss just grew my patience ten fold for my two year old girl, Ella. I squeezed her tight and imagined all the sweetness and lovely bits of Ansley that are gone. Thank you for sharing your Ansley love- love that brought more peace to our home today. May you be greatly comforted, please Lord. Love from Nashville to you.
Celebrating Ansley with you, Jessica. Today and everyday we celebrate all the babies in our hearts.
Jessica,
I would love to give you a hug right now and listen to you share stories about Ansley. I am so very sorry for your loss. Praying that God brings you comfort today and every day until you are with her again. Your honesty in letting us all know how you feel and what you need is going to help so many people.
Hugs,

Jessica, I am thinking of you and Ansley today (in Petaluma, CA). I’m so sorry you lost your baby girl. It’s difficult to fathom the pain of loosing a child, and I suspect that some people’s silence reflects their own fear. I’m sorry for our collective silence. We are here for you. Happy Angel Day Ansley!
Coming from you from Texas today to tell you that you and Ansley are in my thoughts and prayers. Her pictures are beautiful. She was a precious little girl. I will remember her today and everyday and you too also as her mother. Lots of love, Dorothy Brooks
Jessica, your baby girl is beautiful. What a blessed mommy you are that God chose you to be Ansley’s mom. You are so strong. Thanks for reminding us all what life is all about. May her sweet memory bring you comfort and all the lives you touched through your loss.
Love-Kristi in VA
Jessica, please know that my heart goes out to you today as you’re reminded more than other days of Ansley’s loss. I hope you can take some solace in knowing that your precious girl will never be forgotten. You are, and will always be her mama. Sending you hugs.
Much love to you, your angel Ansley & your entire family today… from Washington DC
Jessica,
Today is Ansley’s angel day. I can not imagine the depth of your loss. I lost my mother nearly 7 years ago and I still think of her nearly every day, wish I could talk to her, wish I could turn to her for advice, but I can’t. Losing a child is a different experience, but I understand the fact that you don’t stop thinking of the person who is gone and I know I enjoy hearing people talk about my mom. I hope that your friends find their way back and find a way to talk to you about sweet, beautiful Ansley and what joy she brought to your life and the world in her all too short journey.
You and Ansley and your family are in my heart and in my prayers.
Much love,
Sarah

Dear Jessica,
As I read your words of sadness and your call for friends to rush toward the pain and loss, I cried for you and your beautiful little baby girl. My heart breaks for you. I send you love and prayers from Denver, Colorado. Keep reaching out.
Jessica, I cannot fathom the depth of your grief! Ansley must have been one lucky girl to have you for a mama! I have a friend who lost a baby. I had no idea what to say, but I knew I had to keep calling, texting, emailing, talking to her. Another friend and I got together with her and just let her talk about what happened. All the things about this precious baby and how he left her and her family behind. Maybe that is something you could do with friends or family? I’m from Iowa. Just know, you are not alone in this! May God continue to hold you in the palm of His hand!
Jessica,
Sending you and your Ansley love from Hollister, CA.
Thank you for being Ansley’s momma.
Thank you for being brave and telling us what you and our friends who suffer terrible loss need.

I was there that night, hearing you Jessica. Your bravery for standing up stays with me still. Your daughter Ansley touched us all that night. Your message inspired me to write to my friends who lost thier son, their grandson, this past spring. He was four years old and his name is Will.
I brought my mother that night. My mother lost her first born, a son, to SIDS. She cried for you, for Ansley, for her Jeff.
Today I say a prayer for you. I thank God for Ansely, for Jeffery, for Will. Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself with us.
All my love,

I also hope it gives you the tiniest bit of peace knowing that she is being loved on every moment of every day, not only by you and those who knew her, but also by the defnition and creator of love. I’m so very sorry for your pain. She is precious, and I know you will see her again.
Love & light to Ansley’s mom from Philadelphia, Pa
Jessica,my prayers are with you as you begin another year without your precious Ansley.

I wish I could hug the hurt away.

Dear Jessica, I am writing you from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I am thinking of you today, and sharing in the weight of your grief for your precious child Ansley. Thank you for sharing your story.

Dear Ansley’s Mama: Today is my wedding anniversary but I’m taking at least a moment to say hello and you are loved and I’m thinking of you and your family and Ansley today. I’m an angel mama, too, and I miss my sweet Cady every single day. I am lucky to have friends and family who talk about her with me often. You’re all in my thoughts today.
