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.
Our goal at Glow in the Woods is to make our discussion board, comments, and journal entries welcoming to all parents, families, and friends suffering from babyloss. We hope that Glow can be a place of support and healing, and that differences of opinion are expressed respectfully and with patience and sensitivity to the tender place we find ourselves in.
We respectfully request that we all remember this is a place for babylost parents from all walks of life, in many different circumstances, not all of which we connect with or even understand. Glow in the Woods does not draw distinction between those who experience miscarriage, termination, stillbirth, or neonatal death. We draw no distinction between the despair of unexpected death or grief after the withdrawal of life support. Glow does not host political debates, and we do not have a party line or political stance. Glow is a collective of voices, each with their own history and experience. Any opinion on Glow is wholly that of the author’s and not Glow in the Woods at large.
Glow is a place of support for all, whatever their experience. It is a crossroads where we meet, and we ask that we all try to suspend judgment of others’ situations, their grief, and their healing, and offer the support and empathy that we are able.
