Our Angel’s: Mary Mae’s Foundation (OA: MMF) is committed to bringing awareness of stillbirth, miscarriage, and infant child[ren] loss to the community and to help increase resources for bereaved families during this difficult time. The mission of OA: MMF is to embrace and work alongside bereaved families as they embark on this unfamiliar road ahead of them. We commit to helping these families acknowledge the beloved child they have lost, and to work with them to create the memories they wish for this/these child[ren]. Helping other bereaved parents and families cope with the loss of a child is our number one priority. We also aspire to provide resources and support for families during this difficult time. Many hospitals do not have the patient and family support mechanisms established in the event of stillbirths, miscarriages, and child/infant loss. Due to this, our objective is to provide the education material, support structures, resources, and the necessary information needed as bereaved parents and families navigate this difficult time. For example, we will help bereaved families identify and ask pertinent questions, provide a list of cemeteries, offer support group options, and make appropriate religious preparations.  We also aspire to change the formality of the paperwork received in the hospital during these difficult days. Sadly, when you lose a child to stillbirth, you do not receive a birth certificate and you also cannot receive a death certificate. We intend to work to help bereaved parents receive the documentation that validates and acknowledges the child or children that they have lost so suddenly and tragically. Eventually, we hope to provide memory making opportunities for families, facilitating such things as weighted bears, photo progressions, and much more.
