Ways to Help a Grieving Mother

January 28, 2015 By katbiggie 4 Comments

Just as it’s hard to know what to say and do for someone who has lost a baby (what do you say to someone who has lost a baby?) it’s also often very difficult to ask for help. So here’s a little checklist that can be used by both parties – those who are trying […]

When Saying Nothing May Just Be Your Best Option

Although I write about a lot of topics, including health and advocacy and social good, the […]

Is Heaven for Real?

December 8, 2014 By katbiggie 3 Comments

is heaven for real

This is my period of grief. In just a few days we will celebrate the third birthday of my identical twin daughters, and just two days later, mourn the 3 year anniversary of the loss of one of them. I try to fill the birthday with joy and celebrate my survivor Tiny as much as […]

Children Grieve Too

November 20, 2014 By katbiggie 5 Comments

children grieve too

Yes, Children Grieve Too Today is National Childhood Grief Awareness Day. It’s kind of ironic, because just the other night, quite seemingly out of no-where, I heard Jelly Bean sobbing in her room. Sobbing. Now, she is a very dramatic four year old, so crying is not an unusual event in our home. In fact, […]

Empty Prayers

August 18, 2013 By katbiggie 16 Comments

As I was driving the children to church last Sunday, I decided to flip off the XM radio and on over to local radio. I put it on 89.7 the local Christian music channel. (I always feel a little inappropriate listening to booty shaking music on the way to church… this seemed to be a […]

Change – the only constant

June 22, 2013 By katbiggie 23 Comments

Isn’t it crazy that so many of us hate change, and yet there are only two things that I feel certain about – the fact that we all die and the fact that everything changes. So why not embrace it more? I guess it really depends on the type of change, doesn’t it? For example, […]

It’s not International Bereaved Mother’s Day today, but some days it feels like every day should be. Once bitten by pregnancy or infant loss, always plagued. I had intended on spending today going over my notes from Bloggy Bootcamp and writing a stellar post about all the amazing things I learned and how much better […]

Still {International Bereaved Mother's Day}

May 5, 2013 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

I feel quiet and still this week. The air feels like it is made of thick jelly, and I’m struggling to breathe. Each step takes effort. The last few weeks have exhausted me, drained me, made me proud, made me happy, made me sad. While we accomplished something wonderful through our efforts for the March […]

Premonition or Self Fulfilling Prophecy?

March 11, 2013 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Or maybe just straight up coincidence? Perhaps. But I’m not sure I really believe that much in coincidence any more. Although I don’t understand why certain things happen at the time, it seems that later, when I look back, I can see exactly how things came to be. I’m getting ahead of myself! A few […]
