As I have mentioned to others who are father along, it brings me hope to know that you can have a rainbow child, that you did it, and still think of your children who died. Thank you for sharing. It means a lot. <br /><br />Peace,<br /><br />LindseyLindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699558213320159178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591083597388311251.post-92146622784230983592013-03-25T20:13:28.232-05:002013-03-25T20:13:28.232-05:00Hi Gale,

Some how your words about your journey through grief after all these years brings me comfort as it validates that it will be okay for me to still miss Nora thirty years from now. Thank you for that gift.<br /><br />LindseyLindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699558213320159178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591083597388311251.post-26338576245106764162013-03-23T06:51:54.966-05:002013-03-23T06:51:54.966-05:00Lindsey, I just wish I had a support group to go t...Lindsey, I just wish I had a support group to go to back in the '70's. I was so alone with my grief over my stillborn son and later in 1982, my daughter. I just started blogging in November at age 62, 37 years later, b/c I HAD to! I recently retired as a middle school teacher, had taught blogging, so why not? Oh, the blessing it has been to me! The babyloss world on the internet has accepted me despite the age difference, because with babyloss groups, they get it. I can now openly grieve! Relief! I also create and rellease special balloons for babies on their angelversaries. I'm on FB as Fittsie's Angels Balloons and my book is always open. I create what you want for your child (see some examples) I take pictures to send to you and release the balloon. Why at my age? Because it is healing and you come to live with babyloss, but you never get over it. Yes, I have two wonderful rainbows and 3 us grandchilldren! However, I'll never forget my other two babies. I've enter the Mother's Day's Event over at Catherine's too!<br />About the Art by Angela. Her blog is Our Miracles, Mattiaus & Marcus. Her name is Angela. Her email is foreverlovedart@gmail.com. Isn't her work awesome?<br />Lindsey, I am so very sorry you are going through the loss of your precious Nora and the grief. I know the hurt. I care. I will be reading your blog. God bless.

Our support group has proved invaluable to us after Oscar's and Bella's birth/death, during fertility treatments, during our rainbow pregnancy when we lost one twin, but carried the other one to term, and still provides us help and support as we parent our 2.5-year-old rainbow. Over three years out we are in a place where we can offer help to those newer on the path, but still gain so much from those farther along on the path. I truly hope that this is what you find, and more, if you continue attending your group.Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066881815556809319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591083597388311251.post-69614403449054388812013-03-22T11:47:22.276-05:002013-03-22T11:47:22.276-05:00Thank You Tasha!

Catherine is doing a Mother's day project involving our babies names. You should look into it and see if it is something you would be interested in. <br /><br />http://twinkleoflight.blogspot.com/2013/03/mothers-day-name-event-creative-photo.html<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792015788786311853noreply@blogger.com
