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 > Hope

Seven years ago today our granddaughter was born and died shortly after her birth. As each birthday has come around I remember the sorrow, empty arms, tears and nights of deep grief. But I also remember the love and hugs and prayers and sunshine. To those of you still in those deep nights of grief, I promise that you will make it through. As impossible as that may seem to you today, the sunshine will return. Love and light and joy will come. We will always miss our sweet baby, and her birthday today is a day of remembrance and love and tears. And sunshine and hope. Hold on. Hope on.
