Why You Didn't Fail As A Mother

Shared via Still Standing Magazine: "I see you walking this path of life you’ve been given where every breath and step apart from your child is a physical, emotional and spiritual battleground— a fight for your own survival— a fight to quiet the insidious lies. But the truth is – you haven’t failed at all. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. You are the mother of all mothers. Truly the most inspiring, courageous, loving mother there is – a warrior mama through and through. For even in their death you lovingly mother them still." ♥

Explaining Cremation to Young Children

Wow... I wish I had had this article the first time Cameron ever asked about where Nathan's body is. So far, I've managed to steer the conversation away and on to other things. (He asked again the other week, when we went to visit his PawPaw's grave.) It might be wrong and make me a "chicken" but I've never known how to explain it to him without scaring him. If any of my baby loss friends are going through the same thing... read this article. Now, I have an answer that I'm comfortable with the next Cameron asks.

Shared via CarlyMarie: Here is The Still Project Father's Day Google Hangout video. What an amazing hour! Thank you to all the brave men who spoke so honestly about what it is like to be a bereaved dad on Father's Day. Many thanks to Carrie and JP for making this special event a reality.




To all the Dads out there, especially those of you who are dreading Father's Day this weekend, we send you all our love and peace.
