It was Friday afternoon and I was getting ready for what was suppose to be a routine prenatal appointment at almost 30 weeks, but moments later our whole would come crashing down when the doctor said the most painful words I would ever hear, there was no heartbeat. Our sweet baby girl Memphis was gone. Terrified and unprepared I headed to the hospital for what would be the most agonizing two days.  As I sat in the hospital room I looked around at all the literature on the wall about newborns, I glanced at the baby items placed in various spots in the room, I stared at the bassinet, my reality was so different from the space I was in. My baby wouldn’t use those things, my baby wouldn’t sleep in that bassinet, the literature all over the wall was useless to me at this time. Then hours later I heard a mother next door giving birth and the sweet sounds of a healthy baby. I would never hear my baby cry. She wouldn’t be coming home with me. Sweet Memphis would be born still that next day. In the weeks that followed the only thing that I was sure of was my pain and that I wanted to find a purpose in this unimaginable situation. That is when the idea of Memphis’ Room came to me. Memphis’ Room are hospital rooms designed for parents experiencing stillborn and infant loss. Our organization is dedicated to creating a supportive and comforting environment for parents going through this.
