HAND Holiday Craft Night – Helping After Neonatal Death

Will you be sharing your Thanksgiving table with a newly bereaved parent this year? Your instinct might be to avoid the topic of loss. Please consider (gently, perhaps privately) acknowledging their child(ren)’s absence at the gathering. Make room for them to grieve yet another facet of their loss, and yet still hold dear the blessed memories for which they are grateful.Be gentle with yourselves this week, courageous mamas.
We grieve deeply because we love deeply.Just came across this amazing blog from Jamie Anderson with these incredible words: allmylooseends.com/2014/03/lights-wink/
