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.

parenting after loss > So happy to see you all here / Today P would've been 3

Hello everyone!!! I have been meaning to check in here for... months! So happy the parenting after loss thread is up and so, so heart filled to see all of you here!

Today is the 3rd anniversary of P's birth & death. I am remembering him by taking today as a day of mindfulness & gratitude. Felix (aka Seal Pup) is a super sweet baby and I'm so thankful that he chose me to be his Mama He'll be 3mths old tomorrow. Through love & tears & gratitude, I am embracing both my babies.

Looking forward to participating here when I can! Love & support to all.

Thinking of your P on his third birthday. And for your little Felix, you might like to get him this book that fits his nickname: The Seal Pup

It is written by a friend of mine and is absolutely stunning.

Hi, Crissy, and happy (belated) birthday to your precious P. Remembering him in October -- the same month as my Charlotte's would've-been second birthday. It's a hard month, made only a little softer by the presence of her vibrant, living, vivacious little sister. Sending you warm hugs and peace this month.

xoxo
