In partnership with Lune—the country’s first miscarriage clinic—we’re creating the Ember Accreditation: a new national standard built on compassion, clinical best practices, and trauma-informed care.

LUNE & EMBER COALITION

Reimagining care. Refusing silence.

This is more than a partnership–it’s a reckoning.

Ember was born from lived experience–women who walked through miscarriage and were met with blank stares, cold policies, and clinical indifference. Lune was founded by medical professionals who saw the harm from the inside—and knew the system had to change.

Together, we’re turning grief, anger, and expertise into a movement.

In partnership with Lune—the country’s first miscarriage clinic—we’re creating the Ember Accreditation: a new national standard built on compassion, clinical best practices, and trauma-informed care. We’re not just raising awareness. We’re rewriting the rules so that every hospital becomes a place where pregnancy loss is met with evidence-based care, emotional intelligence, and dignity.

What is Ember?

Ember is a national initiative driving systemic change in how health care systems care for patients experiencing pregnancy loss.

In partnership with Lune—the country’s first miscarriage clinic—we’re creating the Ember Accreditation: a new national standard built on compassion, clinical best practices, and trauma-informed care.

We’re not just raising awareness.

We’re rewriting the rules so that every hospital becomes a place where pregnancy loss is met with evidence-based care, emotional intelligence, and dignity.

We deserve better—and we won’t stop until we get it.

Why this matters

Care shouldn’t re-traumatize. It should restore.

1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss

Yet most hospitals have no formal miscarriage protocols.
No training. No grief support. No follow-up.
Families are left to navigate the darkest days of their lives alone.

%
of women report feeling dismissed or ignored during miscarriage care

They are told to "try again" while bleeding in ER hallways.
They are handed discharge papers instead of compassion.
This isn’t rare. This is routine.

Black women are 2–3x more likely to experience pregnancy loss—and more likely to be ignored when they do. This isn’t about biology.
It’s about systemic racism in medicine.

Black women are:

Less likely to have their pain believed
More likely to have complications overlooked
Less likely to receive mental health support after loss

In some states, miscarriage care is now delayed or denied. The system won’t fix itself. That’s why we’re done waiting–and done whispering.

Post-Roe legislation is confusing providers and putting lives at risk.

Women are being turned away from care that used to be standard.

Miscarriage has become a political casualty and women are paying the price.

The Women Behind the Movement

Lauren Webster

Lauren is a documentary family photographer, former first grade teacher, and future mental health counselor from Morgantown, West Virginia. After being told that she’d, most likely, never have children of her own, she went on to successfully carry two healthy pregnancies with the help of fertility treatments. When a third pregnancy happened naturally, she was elated and scared. Unfortunately, that pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks, and in its ashes, Ember was born: a fire to create change, break the silence around loss, and help others feel seen in their grief.

ORIGIN STORY

Behind the Fire

Ember Pregnancy Loss was born from heartbreak, hope—and a fire that demanded more.

 
After experiencing the profound loss of our own pregnancies, we—Sarah and Lauren—were met not with comfort, but with silence. In sterile exam rooms and rushed appointments, we felt invisible. Treated as afterthoughts in our own stories. Grieving, bleeding, and still expected to smile and move on. The absence of compassion in the medical field wasn’t just painful—it was enraging.
 
From that raw place of sorrow and fury, we found a spark: Ember. Named after the baby Lauren lost in November 2024, Ember became the light that helped us see a path forward—a path that refuses to accept that this is “just how it is.” We set out to bridge the painful gap between clinical care and the deeply human experience of loss, building a space where grieving parents are finally seen, heard, and treated with dignity.
 
Ember is more than a name. It is a rebellion against indifference, a gathering place for those who have suffered in silence, and a reminder that even in the ashes, something powerful can still burn.
