After losing her son Marshall, Alanna Knobben learned that healing after child loss comes through connection, remembrance, and redefinition. Connecting with others brings understanding and hope, remembrance keeps loved ones present in our lives, and redefinition allows us to rebuild, honoring both love and loss as we learn to live forward.

Our story began with love and loss—multiple miscarriages, a stillbirth, and the emotional weight of pregnancy after loss.
