Mother Hearts

May 12, 2013 By 1 Comment

I am feeling very blessed by all of the women in this community tonight. It may be our grief that unites us but it is our mothering hearts that make our community so incredibly supportive and healing. May you all find light in the darkness wherever you are in this world.

Today I was graced by the presence of some wonderful mother’s from the baby loss and infertility community. After many technical difficulties we were finally able to come together and speak aloud about what it is like to go through Mother’s Day as a mother who grieves for her babies or for her fertility. You can watch the chat through this youtube video. Please excuse the first few minutes. A special thanks to Jonathan the Director of The STILL Project for coming to my aid to help me host the hangout from behind the scenes.

I’m so broken today. Like the rest of Australia, I woke to the news of the children and people whose lives were taken from them in Connecticut this morning. I weep as I imagine the terror that these little innocent souls would have faced. I imagine them calling for their mamas to rescue them and [...]
