The Beautiful Scar Project

About The Beautiful Scar Project

The Beautiful Scar Project’s mission is to provide families grieving the death of their infant due to miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal death the tools to turn the loss of their much loved and desired baby into a beautiful scar. Any trauma, either physical or emotional, will create a gaping wound in the person that is traumatized. After that wound bleeds and subsequently scabs over, a scar will be left behind to tell the story of survival. If nurtured properly with education and on-going support, the scar that is left behind will be one of beauty that the bearer will be proud to show off and assimilate into their life story. For a parent, there is no greater trauma than the loss of their child. The trauma of the death of an infant can leave not only a large gaping wound but also ruined finances, shattered marriages and families as well as the complete destruction of ones identity in its path. There is a definitive line in the sand; who they were when their baby was still alive and who they are now that their baby’s heartbeat has ceased to be. No one can go through a battle of any kind unscathed. The same is true for infant loss. The Beautiful Scar Project’s purpose is to ensure that newly bereaved parents know that they are not alone and that they can and WILL survive the loss of their baby. The infant loss community locally, nationally as well as internationally has many ongoing support resources such as support groups, online forums, memorial events, memorial jewelry, photography and portraiture available to bereaved parents, however at this time there is no information “hub”. No one place that a grieving parent can search to find what ongoing support of their grief work is right for them. The Beautiful Scar Project aims to meet that need and to become the informational “hub” in the Denver Metro Area.
