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 > 6 years and still struggling

I lost my sweet baby girl 6.5 years ago and struggle daily.
I accidentally came across this poem tonight
and wanted to share. If anyone needs a friend my email
is Armstrong2555@outlook.com

Mommy,
Please don't be so sad.
I miss you so much too.
It's beautiful here where I am
But I worry a lot about you.
I sleep with the angels watching over me
There's only love up here..
I'm never lonely or afraid,
"Cause God's so very near.
I walk with Jesus every day
He's very kind and sweet.
Don't worry Mommy: He holds my hand
When we cross a golden street.
I never cry or hurt myself
I see my Great Grandma everyday..
I play and laugh and sing a lot
And I hear you when you pray.
Please Mommy, don't be mad at God
You see, he loves me too.
And even though you're not here with me,
I'm really still with you.
