Peace of Mind

A few months after I lost Harry I didn't feel like I was getting better, I felt as though I was getting worse, that the grieving was getting worse. So I had decided to start a blog, a journal, a way for me to express my feelings and help in the grieving process. Many voiced their opinions on how it wouldn't be good for me, it would keep me in a sad place, well I have to say, I think starting Harry's blog was the best thing I did. I have meet some amazing women over that past 8 months, most from the blog world, unfortunately we met because we all belong to the same club, a club no one wants to be apart of, the "I lost a baby" club. I admire and look up to all these women. Their strength, faith, and friendship have helped me get through this hard time in my life. Its been great to have someone to talk to that understands. I have meet Natalie and Amy and I love them and my heart aches for what we've all been through, I am sad we had to meet the way we did but I am grateful for them.

Today I want to talk about Natalie and Amy. Above is a picture of Rob and Natalie and their sweet baby boy Branson. You can read of their story here. Natalie and Rob tried for over 5 years to get pregnant and finally they were blessed with baby Branson, however the day before he was due to be delivered via c-section there was no heartbeat. As much as Natalie and Rob have struggled they have also endured through this hard time and just this year were blessed to find out they will be parents once more, this time to a little girl. As excited as they were to be having another baby, its also terrifying to think what happened could happen again. Although I lost Harrison in a completely different way I know that when I do get pregnant again someday, and especially if any blood is envolved, I will be terrified every day until that baby is born. Because of the way that Branson died, there is something that can be done to insure their peace of mind. There are specialists who take care of parents who have been through similar experiences in losing babies due to cord accidents, but you can imagine the cost that comes along with the machines and Dr's visits.

So Amy, click here to read about her and her sweet baby Alexis, started a website/blog to help raise money for Rob, Natalie, and their new baby girl who will be born this fall. Isn't she amazing and so selfless? To read more on how you can help please click here. Amy also set up a giveaway so that you can support the family in donating money but you can also win prizes in the process. One of my Sweet Ruby blankets is even part of the giveaway, click here to go to the giveaway. So please show your love and support and help a family who deserves to raise a baby on this earth. Please help them have Peace of Mind.
