When the Mind Hurts, but No One Can See It
After losing her baby, Sophie used to wake up every morning feeling like she was underwater — breathing, but not really alive.
People told her she was “strong,” but inside she felt like she was drowning.
Everywhere she looked, she saw what could have been — the pram by the window, the folded baby clothes, the nursery door she couldn’t bring herself to open.
The pain was invisible, but it was constant.
And like so many mothers who experience loss, Sophie began to believe something was wrong with her for not being “okay” yet.
The truth is — grief doesn’t follow a timeline.
And mental health after loss is not weakness — it’s survival.
At From Freya, we believe mental health is maternal health.
We understand that healing the heart also means caring for the mind.
That’s why we’re creating a space where parents can:
💬 Speak openly about loss and anxiety without fear or shame
🌱 Access emotional wellness resources and peer support
🕊️ Learn ways to nurture their mental wellbeing while honoring their child’s memory
Your donation helps us provide mental health support for grieving parents, and fund research into the emotional impact of perinatal loss — something far too many families endure in silence.
When you give, you remind someone like Sophie that her feelings are valid.
That she’s not alone.
That hope still grows — even in the most broken places.
