Margaret Scofieldhas found a unique and touching way to help moms who have suffered a pregnancy loss honor and remember their unborn babies.
The sweet journal features pages for moms to fill out, with prompts asking readers to list names they’d chosen, detail their journey to conception and share how they’d planned to prepare for a new arrival before finding out they had experienced the loss.
“There are so many options for pregnancies with favorable outcomes … so I assumed there would be options for theone in four women who miscarry,” Scofield toldTODAY Parentsof her motivation behindI Love You Still. “I just resolved that I would write the book because I couldn’t find one.”

In a video interview for KARE11, Scofield showed off more of the pages inside the book, including a family tree for parents to fill out and a prompt reading, “When I first knew thatsomething was not as I expected, I was [blank] weeks and [blank] days pregnant.”
“Photo space is limited, which is intentional,” she noted.
Pearson also spoke with the station about how much the book her friend created means to her, saying, “I think about [daughter] Riley all the time. I come back and I think about as a 1-year-old, a 2-year-old.”

“I can’t even tell you how healing this has been, because it’s just an outlet for me, to just have proof that she existed,” Pearson added to KARE11, through tears. “This is my proof.”
“I just kind of had to keep chugging along,” Scofield said, according toTODAY Parents. “Truly this is an absolute labor of love.”
