Living With Purpose
All Things Are Possible with God… Really, this would be the last verse in which I would expect a mother, who just lost her twelve-year-old son, to find comfort. But Anna does. On September 8, 2011, Anna sent her two children out to play, but only her daughter came back…. Click To Tweet I met […]

I have talked about Molly Bears before in posts on the blog, but never done a dedicated post. That’s a shame, because it is in incredible organization. My friend Jennifer actually interviewed the founder of Molly Bears, Bridget, for a Philanthropy Friday in January 2013. I had actually already requested my bear at that point […]

Today is International Bereaved Mother’s Day 2014. We have done a lot to be proud of in the last few months… to bring awareness to grieving mothers and to do our part in supporting them as Mother’s Day approaches. I will have an entire post about all of that sometime this week. But for today, […]

Congratulations to Brooke and Willis – for raising over $2000 for the TTTS Foundation with their Walk for Life! Today I want to share another TTTS Tuesday story. I was just recently introduced to Bethany, and she wrote a beautiful piece about her sons, Braxton and Connor. Braxton and Connor My name is Bethany and […]
I remember exactly when I learned of Donna Day. My friend, awesome blogger, and fellow contributor to Sunshine After the Storm: A Survival Guide for the Grieving Mother, Kelly DeBie from the blog DeBie Hive. (A MUST follow of blogs!) Anyway, a year ago today I saw her post about “Donna Day.” And my world […]
Grief is a funny thing. You’ll be chugging along, everything is great and life is good, and then BOOM. You’re knocked to your knees out of nowhere. I recently had a day like this. Sundays are difficult in general. I get the three kids up and ready for church, and often have to deal with […]
I think one of the hardest elements of losing one of my twins to Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is the fact that I feel so cheated for my survivor. For me, as the mother, I deal with somewhat of an identity crisis. I am a mommy of twins with no twins. I worry […]
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 […]
I’m so torn between wanting to go to bed right now and wanting to just write, write, write about a place I belong. As a friend’s husband said tonight, at the end of the day, that’s what we are all looking for. I believe he is correct. My heart is full. My mind is racing. […]
I attended my monthly grief support group last night. It was an emotional evening. More so than usual. We had several new people at the meeting and we all shared our stories. These women encourage and inspire me. Some of them have been through so much, with as many as 5 losses. Some had early […]
Friends, any of you who frequent my blog know that I lost an infant, Kathryn, two days after birth. If you’ve visited recently, you know that recently a friend of mine delivered her full term baby stillborn, which prompted me to write my post on helping a friend survive the first year after pregnancy or […]
