Why?

Why a blog about baby loss? Why not?

The intent here is to share our stories, to reach out for support & educate each other on the grief journey we know as baby loss.

None of us asked to be here. It was not part of our plan. We probably never imagined the idea of journeying to this side.

But we're here, for many different reasons. Our babies were all at different stages. Some were miscarried at 8 weeks. Others lived to be 8 weeks.

It really didn't matter how long we had them for.

What matters is that we had them. Whether for a short lifetime or a brief instant.

They were ours & no one else will ever get what that means to us, the parents, the survivors, the siblings, the grandparents.

All we have left is our feelings, our words, our pain & our sorrow.

It never gets better ~ it just gets livable.
