Mom Shares Heartbreaking Tattoo For Miscarried Child

Joan Bremer is bravely opening up about a topic our society has deemed as taboo. She believes it’s time to break the silence and we couldn’t agree more.

Only seven weeks into her pregnancy, Bremer experienced uncontrollable cramps and bleeding. A trip to the doctor confirmed her worst nightmare: she had miscarried her baby.

“It took about three days to recover, and during that time I thought of getting a tattoo to mark this life experience,” the 31-year-old told TODAY Parents. “For me, all the tattoos I have signify something, and even though this was a painful time, I still wanted to be able to remember it in some way.”

The would-be-mom from California found an image of a single line connecting two hearts to remember her baby by and says she will add a rainbow, a symbol often used when a “miracle” child is born after miscarriage, if she ever has kids again.

“Losing a baby, even if it’s early in pregnancy, is just so difficult. For me, it was healing to be able to speak about it. I know there is a certain silence about miscarriages and pregnancy losses, but I am not ashamed that this happened to me,” Bremer told TODAY Parents. “That was one of my motivations for getting the tattoo in the first place — I really think it’s healing to be able to talk about it.”

Since sharing her experience, something extremely common but often not spoken about, other women have shared their own tattoos on social media. It happened to us, and it’s happened to countless other people. I want to be able to share and talk about it, and in talking about it move on from the pain and disappointment,” she said.
