This is my 100th post. Yay! Pop the champagne! Very appropriately it is true to the overall nature of my blog. Surviving after the loss of a child. I wrote this a few days ago but I am glad I did not post it then. I was having a REALLY BAD DAY! Thankfully, the […]
Words To Say When A Baby Dies
If you’re here, you’re probably struggling for the right words to say when a baby dies… My first exposure to “baby loss” occurred in April 2005. Friends of mine, Anja and Corey, were expecting their first baby. She was a week overdue, and noticed she felt no movement. They went into the hospital on a Friday […]

NaNoWriMo – I WON!
Despite everything going on around me, I made the time each day to sit down and crunch out some words! I have exceeded the 50,000 words in 30 days challenge, and although it is rough and unedited and needs a lot of work, my book is almost written! And I owe a huge debt of […]
Off the Reservation
Over the next few weeks, you may all think that I have gone completely “off the reservation” as the saying goes. That’s me folks. I think I’m driving the crazy train, losing my marbles, wigging out… every used up cliche you can think of. Muddled up. Please don’t “mute” me, I’m just working my way […]

Day 17
On Thanksgiving Day last year, November 24, 2011, I had been lying in a hospital bed for 17 days, hoping and praying that my babies would be able to continue to grow stronger. It was lonely. I slept most of the day, in and out of a groggy state, wondering how much longer I would […]

Book Review – Growing Up in Heaven
Growing Up in Heaven: The Eternal Connection Between Parent and Child by James Van Praagh My rating: 2 of 5 stars I decided to buy and read this book because it had been recommended by numerous people as a great book for a grieving parent. It was not a great book for this grieving parent. […]
Bigger
My bleep is bigger than yours. I used to really like the band Korn. Ok, I’m not gonna lie. I still really like the band Korn, but I just don’t allow myself to listen to their music with little ears around. But lately, there has been this one line of one particular song that is […]
The First Time We Held Hands
I remember the first time your tiny little fingers wrapped around mine. You were four days old. Thus far, you only knew life in my womb, with your twin, and in the NICU, alone. Save for the NICU nurses and the loyal family and friends who came to you, prayed for you, hoped for you. […]

TTTS Tuesday – Benjamin and JD's story
Today Shasta tells about her TTTS experience with her twin sons Benjamin and JD. Her story makes me laugh a little because we also had two kids and decided to have another baby and were surprised to find out we had #3 and #4 in there! Thankfully Shasta has double survivors, but that does not […]
