My love, supportive energy, and sisterhood to all those of you, who like me, have touched such a deep and painful sorrow - one we could have never imagined existed. Great love and great sorrow — what it can be to be a mother.”

Hilariasuffered a miscarriagein April 2019. Months later she conceived again, and at 16 weeks pregnant, she suffered a pregnancy loss in November 2019. In honor of Infertility Awareness Week this past April, Hilaria shared a candidpost about missing her “angels"although she is “so blessed” with her six children, saying, “I think of the babies I lost daily.”
“Resigned and respectful of how my life has unfolded. Allowing for gratitude and grief, wholeness and longing to be the dualities of my reality,” she said at the time. “We all have different fertility/infertility stories and there are so many ways we can become parents.”
“Being a parent truly is caring in the deepest way for another soul…through that giving energy we nurture ourselves and fill the world with love,” Hilaria continued. “I am just as much a mother to my Angel babies as I am to the ones I can physically hold in my arms.”
