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. […]

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 […]

Today we tell the world that it’s okay to break the silence and comfort mothers who have lost. Today we provide love, light, and encouragement to mamas who are in horrible pain. Today we also ask […]

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month

October 1, 2015 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

October has arrived. This is a big month with many very important causes. Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, obviously the nearest and dearest to my heart. But also significant – Breast Cancer Awareness Month and National Bullying Prevention Month. I am sure there are many other important awareness objectives, but these are the three […]

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 […]

Resources for Grieving Mothers

Pregnancy and infant loss awareness month is drawing to a close. I feel badly, because it was my intent to write more frequently, to give more encouragement, and to share more resources for grieving mothers. But this month was full of LIFE. That, I suppose, is the best piece of encouragement I can give to […]

A Special Request

April 1, 2014 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

The sad reality about TTTS is that in entirely too many cases, we lose one or both babies. That was the case for me and so many of the TTTS moms that are out there. And for those parents who have double survivors, they live in the shadow of that fear that existed until the […]

Still {International Bereaved Mother’s Day}

May 5, 2013 By katbiggie 23 Comments

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 […]
