It’s OK to still be sad, mama

December 12, 2018 By katbiggie 1 Comment

Today marks 7 years since my Kathryn breathed her last breath in my arms. She was two days old. But those two days changed everything for us. For me. For my future. I still cry. I cried today when I posted the only picture I have of me holding my sweet baby girl. I still […]

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 […]

Finding Joy After Loss

October 23, 2017 By katbiggie 3 Comments

I was honored to be asked to speak at a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Ceremony this year. Throughout the month of October, we remember all babies gone too soon. I didn’t have a hard time deciding what to speak about – I knew I wanted to give the message of finding Joy. I wanted to […]

You’ve come a long way baby

December 31, 2016 By katbiggie 4 Comments

2016 was a tough year for many people. We lost a lot of people we loved and admired. Many cried over what was a devastating election result. We watched from afar as children died in bombings, helpless to do anything to save them. There was pain, there was fear. Gun violence continued to grow, mass […]

How to have an open discussion about tragedy with children

June 20, 2016 By katbiggie 1 Comment

We talk a lot about death in our family. I guess that goes with the territory of losing a child. But not in a morbid way. In a way that lets my children know it’s okay to talk about death, dying, grief. They are not afraid to ask questions, and they have a general understanding […]

If only she could be here…

April 18, 2016 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

March and April are always pretty difficult months for me. It’s March for Babies time, and I am dedicated and committed to raising as much money as I can each year. But with this responsibility (and let it be known, this is my passion, but I also consider it a responsibility, which I’ll explain) comes […]

How to Help a Grieving Family over the Holidays

December 21, 2015 By katbiggie 2 Comments

The holidays can be difficult for anyone, but especially if you’ve just lost a child, a sibling, a parent. Everything can make you sad. Christmas carols, ads for toys, images of happy families, Christmas movies, all the talk about the stupid Elf… While no grieving parent would want to damper the excitement for others, this […]

October 15th 2015 – Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day

October 15, 2015 By katbiggie 3 Comments

The loss of a baby or child is something a mother never, ever forgets. Please remember all babies who have been lost on the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, October 15th. Light a candle, change your Facebook profile picture to a burning candle – something, to stand with all mothers who are remembering their […]

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 […]

Those Quiet Moments

September 19, 2015 By katbiggie 5 Comments

TTTS Twinless Twin

Emotions. They can be weak, strong, good, bad. We go through highs and lows, gladness and madness. And sometimes, in a really bizarre scenario, all of them at the same time. I feel that way often. Happy, mad, glad, sad, all melded together. I feel that way when I glance up and see the picture […]

When She Cries

August 3, 2015 By katbiggie 3 Comments

I recently took a trip to France to visit my best friend. I used to go to school in this area of France, and I still have several friends in the area. Just by chance, our dear friend S, (who actually moved to Canada several years ago) was home visiting during the same time frame, […]

Comfortably Numb

May 3, 2015 By katbiggie 8 Comments

Is there anybody in there? Sometimes I wonder myself. Every time I hear the song “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd, it puts me in a trance. My mind wanders off to a time when life was simpler. A warm spring Sunday in college, when my boyfriend and I lounged lazily on the couch and absorbed […]

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 […]
