Welcome!

Miscarriage.  Stillborn.  SIDS.  Infant death.  Why are these subjects so taboo?  They happen every day, over and over again.  When a baby is lost, it is the most devastating thing in the world.  She was a human too, and yet nobody talks about it.  As mothers (and fathers), we're told to get over it.  You can have another!  Be thankful for the healthy children you do have.  It was God's will.  Everything happens for a reason.  All of this may be true, but would you say this to someone who just lost a spouse or a parent?  Most likely not.  That baby, whether lost at 6 weeks pregnant or 6 months old was just as loved as any other person we have lost in life.

I want families who have lost babies to be able to openly discuss it if they want to.  Talk!  Remember!  Grieve!!  Don't hold it all inside.  It's not a dirty secret.  You didn't do anything wrong.  Mourn your baby openly like you would any other death in your family.  And celebrate his or her all-too-short life.

This blog is something I have had rolling around in my head for quite some time.  I lost my baby 2 years ago.  I still miss her every day, and some days are completely overwhelming.  Yes, life does move forward.  That doesn't mean we need to forget about our unborn or lost-too-soon babies.  I want this blog to not only be a place where I can share my hard days or positive ones, but a place for others to share, too.  Please feel free to comment on any of my posts, and if you would like to share your story, email it to me and I will share it!  I can do so without using your name if you would prefer. I will also be sharing links to articles and quotes that I find helpful in my grieving process.

Let's break the silence and let the world know that our babies existed if only for a short time and were SO loved!  If you would like to contact me, please use the form at the bottom of this page.  Remember, any stories you want me to share can be done so anonymously!
