Our sister site @KeeperMemorials recently shared a Our sister site @KeeperMemorials recently shared a beautiful piece called Return to the Sea, an intricate salt labyrinth made by artist Motoi Yamamoto. The piece is a conceptual and meditative series the artist dedicated to the loss of his sister at the age of 24 due to brain cancer. Yamamoto has said of it, “Drawing a labyrinth with salt is like following a trace of my memory. Memories seem to change and vanish as time goes by; however, what I seek is to capture a frozen moment that cannot be attained through pictures or writings.'' What a beautiful take on the intricacies of death and loss. 🤍 . . . . #TalkDeath #Death #Dying #Loss #Art #MotoiYamamoto #ArtistsOfInstagram #Labyrinth #Maze #Salt #Memory #Installation #Cancer #Grief #Mourning #Bereavement #GriefSupport #Artist #DeathPositive #DeathPositivity #DeathAwareness #Fragility #Mortality #Meditation

Today is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememb Today is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, which honors the incredibly painful experiences of those who have lost pregnancies or had their infants die. 🤍🫂 It is rarely a grief spoken about openly and honestly, but it’s much more common than you might think. Pregnancy and infant loss can include: infertility, embryo loss, failed IVF transfers, abortion, TFMR, ectopic pregancies, miscarriage (up to 15% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage), stillbirth, and neonatal or infant death. How to show up for someone who is experiencing loss: 👉 Remember and acknowledge important dates such as due dates, birth dates, or day of loss. 👉 Check in on their mental health. Postpartum depression, anxiety, rage, and psychosis can be often overlooked after a loss. If iy feels appropriate, ask questions like, “Where are you in your grief?” 👉 Show up physically when you can. Many people lose friendships after loss due to discomfort or withdrawal. COVID-safe physical presence, letter writing, or even phone calls of support can be invaluable no matter how much time has passed after a loss. 👉 Remember that there is no one size fits all way to grieve. Sometimes grief looks inappropriate or uncomfortable. That is okay and normal! . . . . #TalkDeath #Pregnancy #PregnancyLoss #InfantLoss #Death #Mortality #Grief #GriefSupport #Miscarriage #Abortion #Infertility #IVF #TFMR #SIDS #Embryo #EmbryoLoss #Stillbirth #MentalHealth #Healing #Pregnant #Awareness #DeathPositive #DeathPositivity #Support #Community #Remembrance #Mourning #Mourn #Neonatal #Children
