Holly Ann Abel

Holly Ann's journey to motherhood has been both heartbreaking and beautiful. It began when her daughter Magnolia was stillborn due to unknown causes. When Magnolia's heart stopped, Holly Ann promised that hers would continue to beat in her honor. The Bloom Like Magnolia Foundation was created to honor Magnolia’s memory, bring awareness to this unique loss, and advocate for those on their grief journey. Since then, Holly Ann gave birth to her rainbow baby, Marigold, who brings color and wonder to her world. She then experienced the unexpected loss of her mother and miscarried her third baby "Poppy" shortly after. Her heart constantly dances between fear and hope, darkness and light, and grief and joy. She continues learning how to hold space for all of these things and feels it’s a privilege to share her story with others.
