Showing up in the darkest hour

mission

Our Mission

Miscarriage is one of the loneliest losses a woman can endure. The Raspberry Collective was built to change that. Not by offering answers, but by showing up. We bring words of comfort directly to women in their darkest hour: a handwritten note, a journal, and poetry that dares to say what grief sometimes cannot. Because no loss should go unwitnessed. No woman should grieve alone. And what was loved deserves to be seen, written, and honored.

Our Vision

The Raspberry Collective envisions a world where no woman leaves a hospital after miscarriage feeling invisible. Where grief is not rushed or suffered in silence, but met with presence, tenderness, and the full weight it deserves. We see a future where hospitals are places of emotional care as much as medical care, where every woman is handed words when she has none of her own, and where miscarriage is spoken about with honesty and without shame. And where the words written in those pages, both ours and hers, outlive the moment and reshape the way the world understands what it means to lose what was loved.

testimony

The story behind the mark

Every year, millions of women experience miscarriage. Most go home from the hospital with medical discharge papers and very little else. No acknowledgment of the emotional weight they are carrying. No words to hold onto. No assurance that what they lost mattered. The Raspberry Collective was founded to change that.

We are a developing nonprofit organization built around a single, powerful belief: that every woman who experiences miscarriage deserves to be seen, written, and honored in her darkest hour. Through poetry, handwritten notes, and journals placed directly in the hands of women during their hospital stay, we show up at the moment when grief is most raw and isolation is most acute.

Our founder brings a personal and poetic voice to the miscarriage experience through an active writing platform, building an audience of women who have felt unseen in their grief and are hungry for language that finally tells the truth. This body of work forms the emotional foundation of everything we do and establishes the trust and reach necessary to grow the organization.

The Raspberry Collective is not a crisis hotline. It is not a support group. It is something quieter and perhaps more lasting. It is the note slipped under the door that says: we know you are in there. You are not alone. And what you loved will not be forgotten.
