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.

Mother's Day

Whether you hold your child in your arms or in your heart, I'm wishing you a Happy Mother's Day. For those who are struggling with infertility, I remember those days as well. I'm thinking of you and praying that your arms are filled soon.
