Hi There,

Just wanted to share that I have recently found ‘Still Mothers’ a helpful source of support as someone who finds themselves in the non ttc part of the babyloss community:

http://www.stillmothers.com/about/about-still-mothers/

It has a strictly ‘non-rainbow’ baby focus, so they are gently and persistently challenging the idea that the only way to heal after loss is with another child. There is a very good selection of hope filled stories that are being shared here within sections called ‘dealing with grief’, ‘working towards healing’, ‘love yourself with self care’, ‘finding peace’ and ‘embracing your motherhood’.

Whilst the emphasis is on living with childlessness after babyloss, I still find much of what is being shared here useful and relevant to my own post babyloss situation (i.e. a mother with a living child, but no baby born after my loss).

Thank you for sharing this

Thank you for sharing this... I didn't know it existed and having a new safe space to explore is very welcomed.

Mango, I also want to add that I appreciate all of your posts in this forum. I don't say much, but every few months I come back to read. Being in this situation, not TTC and my only pregnancy ending in loss, there doesn't seem to be many places for me. But your posts shine light and warmth on my heart. Thank you.

Thanks Anon and k chan for your comments, it's always nice to know that my post/posts have been appreciated. Likewise, I have appreciated other people's posts here too.

It can be really challenging to find our own safe spaces. I do feel Still Mothers is trying to address a need that, as some of you have rightly pointed out before, has a tendency to be marginalised within the online babyloss community. It has attracted a variety of babyloss mums who were struggling to 'fit in' because of their TTC status. I guess I see Still Mothers providing respite from the 'rainbow baby' talk, in the same way as I see Glow providing respite from the 'angel baby' talk amongst other things.

I've kind of concluded that it is probably unrealistic to try and get all my needs met from one community/place, so I've been searching out multiple sources of help over the years (both online and offline) for different aspects of my needs post loss.

All the best,

Mango x.

Have you been trying to conceive? You've been doing it the absolute wrong way. Believe me, you have to try this. I'm Sarah Weston. I'm from Wisconsin, USA. Married for 11 years with infertility, my infertility journey has ended with the help of Dr Krish Spiritual. I have joined many infertility journey blogs online just to have a comforted heart over my problem and this has helped me to find the right man to help me cure this devastating problem. As a patient of endometriosis stage 3, it was really difficult to have a child but with the help of Dr Krish I got fertile and conceived within days of herbal treatment and before I knew it, I was finally pregnant. I never believed it was possible after 11 years of marriage. Thanks to everyone who has helped me both mentally and emotionally through this journey. Dr Krish solved my problem for me and I promise to manifest his work to other people and friends. Email Dr Krish at lordkrishshrine@gmail.com

To all those posting in this thread, I apologize for the horrible spam from "Sarah Weston". There were comments on front-page posts, too, which I was able to delete but because of some weird features of this site, it's taking me longer to delete from the forums. I'm sorry if that post was upsetting to you. I'm working to have it removed! Jen (GITW)
