Parents of lost babies and potential of all kinds: come here to share the technicolour, the vividness, the despair, the heart-broken-open, the compassion we learn for others, having been through this mess — and see it reflected back at you, acknowledged and understood.

Thanks to photographer Xin Li and to artist Stephanie Sicore for their respective illustrations and photos.

for one and all > Mother's Day

Sending out some wishes for a Mother's Day that goes gentle on broken hearts...I remember being out for brunch on my first Mother's Day after Anja died and hearing this version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - it made me cry and smile, and I listen to it again each Mother's Day since. Sending love to you and your babies.

Jen, thank you for the sweet reminder of this song, and I too wish everyone who comes across this page a gentle, slow day. I like to imagine a world, even just briefly, with both of my babies here with me.

Love and peace to all the Mamas, Dad's, and parents out there <3
