Return to Zero

May 23, 2013 By katbiggie 33 Comments

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 […]

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 […]

TTTS Tuesday: Heatherly Rose and Winter Lille

April 2, 2013 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

I met Taylor in the TTTS Grief Support group. It was shortly after she lost her girls and she was devastated. Today we honor her girls by sharing their story.  Taylor’s experience shows how suddenly TTTS can occur and further emphasizes why earlier and more frequent ultrasounds are so important in multiples pregnancies.   Heatherly […]

Surviving the Winds of Change

February 13, 2013 By katbiggie 9 Comments

Do we ever get over infant loss? Big green eyes look at me curiously as I stare off into space, daydreaming of the little girl I see in my dreams. Her long brown hair blows in the wind as she romps around a field of daisies, waving at me and smiling! “Hi Mommy!” she calls […]

Always With You

December 20, 2012 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t love a good quote from Winnie the Pooh? “If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together… there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with […]

Words To Say When A Baby Dies

December 2, 2012 By katbiggie 26 Comments

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 […]

The Dreaded “Year of Firsts”

September 12, 2012 By katbiggie 4 Comments

We all have ways of measuring things, passing time, marking key events.  When you go through something as horrific as TTTS and infant loss, or the loss of anyone you love, there are so many dates, events, memories.  When it was diagnosed, when we had procedures, when the babies were born.  When Kathryn died. I dreaded […]

"Finding My Muchness"

September 5, 2012 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

Tweet #muchnesspicoftheday We all have it… everyone has their muchness.  Sometimes it is hard to find.  Sometimes we just lose it.  I have been busy lately trying to find mine again.  I found an amazing woman named Tova Gold who “lost her muchness” after she lost her identical twin daughters to TTTS.  She has created […]
