When I was a kid, my mom was very involved with the Right To Life movement.

A few months ago, while thinking of Joey and Chloe (my sibs) and so many other babies gone before we could meet them, I started writing a poem. Never finished, until today. This is dedicated to all who can relate. I hope this can bring comfort. You may share if you so desire and think […]
Pregnancy And Infancy Loss Awarness (PAILA) Month is just a few weeks away! And while that’s still technically a lot of time, I am kinda freaking out! I just feel so strongly about this cause that I want to get the word out to as many as possible, as quickly as I can, so there are […]
In Australia, both Father’s Day, and International Bereaved Father’s Day are coming in just over a month. For many years, I could not easily handle thoughts of the former, as we lost my dad many years ago, just before the American Father’s Day.

Dedicated to Brenna Michelle from Sister. I wish things were different, I wish you had been given a chance, I wish could have met you, I wish I could grown up with you. A lot of wishes a lot of ifs and a whole lot of maybes, Maybe you would have been my best friend, […]
I learned fairly recently of International Bereaved Mother’s Day thanks to the Carly Marie Heal Project, and I am so glad I did! Because of all my work in the post abortion ministry, and with families who’ve lost babies in pregnancy or shortly after, I have been very much aware of how a day like […]
Normally, my posts contain few, if any pictures. This post will be the opposite, in that there will be many more pictures (drawn and photo) than words. You have my permission to share them. Done for those who have lost loved ones in any way: Specifically for those who’ve lost babies. The second one is […]
