In the Land of Broken Hearts: Grateful
http://landofbrokenhearts.blogspot.com/2011/12/grateful.html
Every year, 26,000 babies are stillborn in America. In 2003, one of them was my son. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Grateful for those who aren't afraid to say his name. (Ben.). Grateful for those who try to understand that he is still my son, that I miss him every moment of every day. Grateful for those who realize I miss all the things that could have been. Grateful for those who understand you don't "move on" but you incorporate the grief into your life. Grateful that he is not, just yet, forgotten.

In the Land of Broken Hearts: June 2011
http://landofbrokenhearts.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Every year, 26,000 babies are stillborn in America. In 2003, one of them was my son. Monday, June 27, 2011. I'm a bit speechless after reading this. On a UK website:. Rennie Gibbs is accused of murder, but the crime she is alleged to have committed does not sound like an ordinary killing. Yet she faces life in prison in Mississippi over the death of her unborn child. How can she be charged with murder when, as thousands of us know in the U.S., her baby was never really born? Amanda Kimbrough is one of th...

Because I am thankful for, among many, many other things, poetry, I give you this, by Mary Oliver. Sticks of the sun. Ashes of the night. Turn into leaves again. And fasten themselves to the high branches - -. And the ponds appear. On which are painted islands. If it is your nature. You will swim away along the soft trails. For hours, your imagination.

Every year, 26,000 babies are stillborn in America. In 2003, one of them was my son. Wednesday, December 14, 2011. One request comes from the MISS Foundation, with this:. Remember: No one does what we do to help families facing infant and child death: counseling, advocacy, research, education, and support. We can’t save every child. Please help us save their families…". Donations can be made online here. Another funding request comes from Big Buddha films, which is working on an independent film about a ...

In the Land of Broken Hearts: October 2011
http://landofbrokenhearts.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Every year, 26,000 babies are stillborn in America. In 2003, one of them was my son. Monday, October 17, 2011. This Looks Like Progress. For example, on Facebook, as well as on their website, the natural cleaning products company Seventh Generation. Posted a note about Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, October 15th, in recognition of the millions of women who lose a baby every year. Would we have seen that a year or two ago? If you get a chance and feel so moved, thank the people and companies you...

Every year, 26,000 babies are stillborn in America. In 2003, one of them was my son. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Wordless Wednesday - Ice Storm. Links to this post. Friday, February 4, 2011. Yep, that's me. It's one of those days when, despite my best intentions, not much is happening. Sure, I have some beef stew in the crock pot, have washed several loads of laundry, even worked out. But: the papers on the coffee table and kitchen table? Um, yeah, I'll get to them. Funnily enough, I had. And now, to s...

Every year since 2003, at 11:34 am on the 30th of December, I have looked at the clock and thought, "And now I knew."

In the Land of Broken Hearts: Say His Name
http://landofbrokenhearts.blogspot.com/2011/12/say-his-name.html
Every year, 26,000 babies are stillborn in America. In 2003, one of them was my son. Monday, December 12, 2011. That's all. Just Ben. It's not hard. It won't hurt to say, it won't hurt for me to hear. It will be sweet, in fact, to hear you say his name for what may be the first time ever. (How can you not say his name to me? He was a real child, after all.). My Baby Had a Name. He is loved and missed. December 13, 2011 at 4:08 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Eight Years ...
