Mother on why she wants her daughters to know their stillborn sister's name

Original: My firstborn was stillborn — why I want my girls to know her name

A mother has written about the stillbirth of her first child and why she believes her two living daughters should grow up knowing their sister existed and speaking her name. The piece reflects a broader conversation among bereaved parents about breaking the silence around stillbirth, honouring lost children within family life, and helping siblings understand grief rather than hiding it from them.

Why now: First-person accounts of stillbirth and open family grief resonate with parents and resonate strongly in ongoing awareness discussions.
