From Loss to Hope
My Story
Before and After
There are moments that divide life into before and after. For me, that moment was losing my beloved baby daughter, Freya.
Named after the Norse goddess of love and beauty, I dreamed she would live a life filled with joy, laughter, and light — a life brimming with passion and zest.
But instead, I lost her far too soon, for reasons no one could explain.
As a scientist, I had spent my career studying how life begins — yet when I faced the unbearable loss of my own child, no research or data could explain the silence that followed.
My entire world stopped, and everything I thought I understood about life changed forever.
From Silence to Purpose
As a mother, it felt as though my heart had been ripped from my chest.
The question that echoed endlessly within my mind was simply: “Why? Why did this happen to us?”
There were no answers — only deafening silence. And yet, within that silence, something began to stir — the faint spark of a purpose I couldn’t yet name.
In my deepest grief, I reached for something that reminded me of home: a small chili-shaped earring, a symbol of my hometown in Italy.
I placed it beside Freya as a gesture of love, strength, and protection.
That simple act became a reminder that even in the darkest moments, love finds new ways to live on.
Born from Love, Guided by Hope
From that love, From Freya was born — born from loss, but guided by hope.
Through this initiative, I’m turning pain into purpose: funding perinatal research and supporting families who face the same heartbreak.
Every donation, every item you purchase, fuels science that saves lives and brings comfort to those who need it most.
No one should ever have to walk through loss alone. Together, through compassion, knowledge, and community, we can transform sorrow into strength — and give every baby the chance to begin their story.
From Freya — creating new beginnings, one act of love at a time.
What we do
From Freya was born from love and loss. Founded by a scientist and a mother who turned grief into purpose, this movement is dedicated to transforming how we understand and care for perinatal health.
We focus on what’s often left in the shadows: stillbirth prevention, preeclampsia awareness and maternal mental health. Through research, storytelling and community, we fund scientific progress while offering a safe, compassionate space for emotional healing.
Every product we create supports life-saving initiatives, sparks conversation and reminds families that remembrance can live through action.
To honor Freya’s life by transforming grief into action – advancing maternal and neonatal health through research, advocacy, storytelling, and community-driven support.
Every baby deserves a chance to live. Your support makes that possible.
