My Story

After the detrimental lose of my little girl Madelise, on August 3, 2003 I ask God, why did He bring me to this place, “Just trust me” seemed to be the only answer that I got. So my journey began to “just trust God”. He has never failed me, and continues to show me his plan as I go through the journey of loss. It became clear shortly after Maddie’s death, that the people around me though supportive, were not equipped to handle the needs that I had because of my loss. So I began to search out someone who knew how I felt, I just needed someone to understand. I decided when I was ready and able, that I would be available to help families just like me, I could understand their loss. During the last 4 years after my daughter’s death I have developed a deep desire to help other women and families around me who have experienced the detrimental loss of a child, through miscarriage still birth or infant death. Families that have lost a baby no matter the cause are now apart of the “club”. We all come from different walks of life, and each has a different story to tell, but we have all felt the same heart wrenching grief from the loss of our children. Maddie’s Place is designed to provide a place for families to share there feelings, and what they are going through as they journey through their grief after their loss. We offer the compassion, emotional support, and hope after each family’s loss. It is also our goal to offer resources to families to help meet a variety of needs, concerning the loss of their children.
