Celebrations After Stillbirth

What do you want for your birthday? I don't blame anyone for asking me. It is my birthday after all. I wouldn't expect people to let it go by unnoticed. But I just can't relate to the word want anymore. I don't understand how I could want anything ever again.

Other people's success is just a reminder that someone else is getting the life that you want. That you are striving for. Longing for. Crying yourself to sleep for.

Remembrance 

What made me smile is that when we go, over the years, we will get to see life thrive in the growth of the forest. Life that should be thriving in our home.

Belief

In my poem to him at his graveside, I asked him to rise above like the Phoenix that you are and look after us.

When Grief is a Brick to the Stomach

Sometimes it's like you're still just waiting, waiting for the baby to come.

Why Thank You Just Isn’t Enough

Since the day we found out that Leo had died, I have not been able to find the words to adequately describe the level of care we received from the teams at our local hospital.
