About
The Love From Ada Resource Guide was created in memory of Ada June Francis, who was stillborn at 32 weeks on September 20, 2021. Despite all available testing, her sudden passing remains unexplained, and her absence deeply felt.
Love From Ada
In the weeks and months following Ada’s death, her mum, Emma, found that the resources available to bereaved parents were limited and often did not meet the needs of those navigating such profound grief. Over time, Emma discovered a range of supports and tools that validated her experience, brought comfort, and helped her to process her grief while honouring Ada’s memory.
This guide brings together those recommendations in the hope that they might offer connection and comfort to others experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.
Every grief journey is unique, and each person’s needs will be shaped by their beliefs, values, and personality. If something in these pages doesn’t feel right, set it aside and follow your heart.
