Welcome.

Hi. I’m Chelsea Hendrick, President and Co-Founder of The Rorie Mae Foundation. I just want to welcome you to our Website, our Blog, and our Community. I want to welcome you whether you have experienced the death of a child or not; whether you are here to find support and community for yourself or you are here to learn and support someone else; whether you are here to help our cause or you are just plain curious about what we are doing. Whatever the reason may be, I am glad that you are here.

Here in our Blog you will find a variety of posts. My husband, Derek, and I will share more of our story, and we will discuss topics that we have found to be important throughout our experience. We will have posts directed towards parents that have experienced stillbirth and infant loss, and we will have posts that serve to educate people on how to support someone you know that has experienced it. We will share articles and posts from other sources that we find helpful, and we hope to give people a safe platform to share their stories as well.

If you wish to share your story or there is a topic that you would like us to discuss, you can reach out to us by email at info@theroriemaefoundation.org or you can use one of our contact forms throughout our website.

We are by no means experts on Stillbirth and Infant Loss. We are just here to share our experience in hopes that we can help someone else going through the a similar situation. We don’t have all of the answers, and we still struggle daily with the death of our daughter Rorie. With that being said, we are putting ourselves in a vulnerable position along with others that wish to share. Please help us make this a safe place for those who are sharing their hearts.

I hope that together we can create conversation, awareness, remembrance, and healing. It’s a tough subject to talk about, but it’s even harder on the families when it’s not talked about. So let’s honor those babies and help those families by normalizing the discussion of Stillbirth & Infant Loss. Thank you for joining us and welcome to all!
