Sarah Herron Meets One-on-One with Fellow Loss Moms and Infertility Warriors: ‘Honored to Hold Space for You’
Women supporting women.
Bachelor Nation first met Sarah Herron on Season 17 of “The Bachelor,” and she returned to our screens for Seasons 1 and 3 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
In September, after many highs and lows of her IVF journey, Sarah revealed that she and her fiancé Dylan Brown were expecting a baby boy.
Then last month, Sarah took to Instagram to share the tragic news that their baby boy Oliver passed away shortly after he was born prematurely at 24 weeks.
Now, in honor of International Women’s Day this week, Sarah is reaching out to fellow loss moms and infertility warriors.

The Bachelor Nation star took to her Instagram Stories to thank the women that have been flooding her DMs and comments sharing their similar stories and showing support.
To spread the love that she’s been feeling, Sarah decided to meet one-on-one with some of her followers who have shared their stories with her.
She wrote, “I want to say, I couldn't have survived the last 5 weeks without women. You’ve nourished me, prayed for me, brought me supplies and words of wisdom. You all have given me more strength than you know, and that's exactly what being a woman is about. I’m so incredibly lucky to be a woman and to be surrounded by women. I hope to repay what I have received. To express my gratitude, I would like to make an offering…”
Sarah went on, saying, “To my infertility warriors and loss moms, I would be honored to hold space for you and support you. If you are in the midst of your IVF journey, or have experienced a recent pregnancy loss, fetal diagnosis, or have had to interrupt a wanted pregnancy I am here for you. Whether you want to vent, cry, ask my advice, or just have someone to connect with and hold you emotionally during this rollercoaster time, I would love to make myself available to you for a one-on-one chat.”

Sarah noted that this isn’t a professional service and that she’s not a medical professional or health care provider, she just wanted to hold space as a symbol of her gratitude for those who have held her during this extremely challenging time.
Sarah said she’s starting with meeting with four or five women but is hopeful to make time for even more, concluding her post with, “I look forward to being able to support the physical and emotional healing and well-being of women going through this journey.”
We are continuing to keep Sarah, Dylan, and their entire family in our thoughts as they mourn the unimaginable loss of Oliver.
We know that Sarah bravely sharing her experience and holding space for this community is continuing to help so many others.
