Dear Kathryn… six years later

December 12, 2017 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

It’s been six years since she left us. It’s hard not to relive that day. For two very short days, we watched her struggle to breathe and live. My husband and I prayed that somehow a miracle would happen, but one never came. Dear Kathryn – I want you to know you’re missed. We love […]

Tiny Superhero

March 27, 2015 By katbiggie 2 Comments

A few days ago, my sweet survivor baby Tiny asked if she could rest with my “Kathryn Bear.” I reluctantly said yes. This Kathryn bear is so very special to me. It was hand made by a volunteer for the Molly Bears organization, and it weighs exactly the same amount that my Kathryn did when […]

Resources for Grieving Mothers

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 […]

February 26, 2014 By katbiggie 16 Comments
