A while ago I found out about a great site that has resources, loss stories as well as stories of hope. I put the Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope on my sidebar, it is a great resource. Anyways, I submitted my story and they posted it on the 29th. You can check it out here.

Today is the “Day of Hope“, created and inspired by Carly at “The Grief Effect”. I have put together 4 packages that I will be dropping off at our local hospital later today. In the packages I have a mini book, a brochure, healing tea, a card, a certificate of life and a candle that [...]
Remember when I had my twins names drawn in the sand? Well, Carly from “To Write Their Names in the Sand” is now writing names on Butterfly Wings. Actually, Carly has changed and added a lot of stuff to her blog. It’s no longer just “To Write Their Names in the Sand”, but now it’s [...]
When I knew I was going to “physically” lose my babies I had no idea what I was going to do with them. I really didn’t. Infact, I thought that I had already passed the babies and then it all became very obvious that I hadn’t.

Like my last post states, today was “Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day”. I wasn’t sure how I would react, for some reason I thought I would just sail through the day like any other day and then light a couple candles. Well, it certainly did not go like that. I was emotional ALL DAY, [...]

Thank you so much to Sarah from “Say It With Flowers“, she took a beautiful picture with my babies’ names on the flowers. Thus far I don’t think I’ve announced what I decided to name my babies. I just went with the names I had already picked out before losing them.
Every day I’m finding more and more resources and memorial ideas for moms who have had a pregnancy and/or infant loss. Today I came to find Say it with Flowers. You can go a request that they write your baby’s name on a flower and then take a picture of it. I have seen many [...]
We spent half of our holidays in a cottage that has been in the family for 50+ years. It’s very close to Winnipeg Lake and I have very fond memories from my childhood there. If you’ve been there than you know how big the lake is, if you have not been there I’ll tell you, [...]
