The Only Way Around is Through

Over the last nine years, I've had eight pregnancies. Two ended in the births of my daughters, Lily (8) and Ella (5). Five have ended in losses between 5 and 16 weeks. Chemical pregnancy, miscarriage, missed miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and late miscarriage are all part of my history. Finally, my 8th and final pregnancy, brought us our baby boy, Will, who has Down syndrome. With the loss of Olivia at 16 weeks on October 5, 2014, I turned to writing as a way to work through the challenges.

Going Public

December 3, 2014

I've read my writing to several friends and family and they suggested that someday I might share these experiences with a larger audience. Last night I took the first step and exchanged writing with two loss moms from my support group. Reading their writing showed me how powerful and healing it is to see that there are others who get it. It was amazing to see that we'd often written about the same topics and even said nearly the same words.

So today I started a blog.
