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.

My Muse

November 5, 2014

I’ve taken to thinking of you as my muse. I’ve always been a creative person, but over the years, I had forgotten to express that creativity very often. In this month since you’ve been gone, my creativity has been re-awoken. I have written pages and pages and pages. The topics just keep coming to me, the words just keep flowing. I have cross-stitched the violet bookmark, I decoupaged a box to hold more of your belongings. I even built a lego model of Falling Water! That was my first (but not my last!) lego project and I did it at 33! Guess who has lego sets on her Christmas list this year?
