Our story

Stories of a Star was born from our own journey — the story of our star child, Matteo.

In 2023, we learned we were expecting our first child. It was the most wonderful news, the fulfillment of one of our biggest dreams. Our longing to become parents had always been immense.

At 29 weeks, we met Matteo in complete silence. We like to say it was both the most beautiful and the saddest day of our lives. Beautiful, because he was our son — with his daddy’s thumbs and toes, and his mommy’s dark hair. Saddest, because he had to say goodbye far too soon. We felt unconditional love alongside the deepest heartbreak.

We carry Matteo with us every day, in every memory, and in every story we tell about him. We celebrated his life when he was still in the womb, and we will continue to celebrate him for the rest of ours.

That’s why Stories of a star exists — to give not only us, but all parents, friends, and families, the chance to honor their little stars. Whether the memories are bold or quiet, everyone who has endured such a loss deserves love, support, and a way to hold on.

Wear your little star with pride, and carry them without — in your heart, in your memories, and in every new moment you create.

With love,
Siel & Mathieu
