May 20, 2013 By katbiggie

Surviving Infant Loss Watching a friend suffer the loss of a child or baby is one of the most difficult situations you may ever encounter in life.  Surviving infant loss is one of the most worst experiences a mother can go through. Loss and death combined with what is typically a positive, joyous occasion puts […]

What to say when a baby dies ; words of comfort

October 31, 2019 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

what to say when a baby dies

What To Say When a Baby Dies It can be difficult to know what to say when a baby dies. As we wrap up another October, which is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, I think it’s important to share this post again. It’s been a long time since I wrote it, and it deserved […]

Try listening to her, not fixing her – October 15th

October 15, 2019 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

The worst day of my life was December 12, 2011, when I held my 2-day-old daughter as her last breath left her body. The doctor prepared us at her anatomy scan at 20-weeks gestation that she would likely not survive, but I held fast to hope over the next 10 weeks until she was born, that […]

Healing retreat for Grieving Mamas

January 7, 2019 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

In 2019 I am going to fulfill a dream. I am hosting my first ever retreat for grieving mothers. A weekend of being loved and spoiled. Why? Because losing a child, no matter what age they were, how long you carried, or how many or how few memories you have made, is truly one of […]

It’s OK to still be sad, mama

December 12, 2018 By katbiggie 1 Comment

Today marks 7 years since my Kathryn breathed her last breath in my arms. She was two days old. But those two days changed everything for us. For me. For my future. I still cry. I cried today when I posted the only picture I have of me holding my sweet baby girl. I still […]

Let them help you – a note to grieving mothers

June 5, 2018 By katbiggie 1 Comment

A Note To Grieving Mothers Recently, a dear friend lost her father. She didn’t tell us until two days later, and when she did, she asked us not to contact, call, text, or otherwise blow up her inbox. I understand where she was coming from. After Kathryn died, I didn’t want to talk to anyone. […]

Healing and healing and healing

March 1, 2018 By katbiggie 1 Comment

Grief comes in seasons… There is that first season, that seems like it will never, ever end. Then it gradually fades into less frequent, and usually less predictable, moments of pain and sadness. Then the weird stuff happens. Like guilt. You begin to wonder if it’s OKAY to actually be happy. If you’re somehow being […]

Dear Kathryn… six years later

December 12, 2017 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

It’s been six years since she left us. It’s hard not to relive that day. For two very short days, we watched her struggle to breathe and live. My husband and I prayed that somehow a miracle would happen, but one never came. Dear Kathryn – I want you to know you’re missed. We love […]

World #TTTS Awareness Day

December 7, 2017 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

I’ve got a lot of sentiments and emotions about this. I’m feeling guilty that I haven’t been advocating as hard or frequently lately for TTTS awareness. It is the primary reason, after all, that I started this blog. That, and to survive the grief of losing one of our daughters because of Twin to Twin […]

Finding Joy After Loss

October 23, 2017 By katbiggie 3 Comments

I was honored to be asked to speak at a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Ceremony this year. Throughout the month of October, we remember all babies gone too soon. I didn’t have a hard time deciding what to speak about – I knew I wanted to give the message of finding Joy. I wanted to […]

She Should Be There

August 14, 2017 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

I waited way longer to register Tiny for Kindergarten than I did with Bug or Bean. Not because I didn’t have the time or I didn’t make the time, but because my heart was truly heavy at the prospect. I didn’t want to do it. Yes, she is the baby of the family. But it’s […]

Some Gave All – Memorial Day 2017

Ashley's War; Memorial Day

May God protect those who are in harm’s way. It’s Memorial Day – we honor the fallen, we remember them and thank them for their great sacrifice. This post is written in loving memory of my friend, Ryan David, who was killed, along with the rest of the Charlotte Guard based crew, in a C-130 […]

When Mother’s Day hurts…

May 14, 2017 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

International Bereaved Mother's Day

When mother’s day hurts This is my 6th Mother’s Day without my darling Kathryn. While I do not actively grieve for her anymore, I still feel a twinge on Mother’s Day. I reflect on the fact that there should be four little wildlings, jumping on the bed and excitedly telling me “Happy Birthday!” as my […]

You’ve come a long way baby

December 31, 2016 By katbiggie 4 Comments

2016 was a tough year for many people. We lost a lot of people we loved and admired. Many cried over what was a devastating election result. We watched from afar as children died in bombings, helpless to do anything to save them. There was pain, there was fear. Gun violence continued to grow, mass […]
