“Our family dynamics are unconventional to the average person, but we choose to go against what others feel is normal and lead our children with love, acceptance, and forgiveness.”
“I will not sit in the tidy safety of quiet that propagates grieving mothers’ isolation. I will hang these babies’ chimes. I will speak their names.”
“An act of kindness may seem like a small thing but never underestimate it’s power.”
“I have LIVED this. When I left, everybody was surprised. This is going to sting – not just a little. But a lot. The man you love… Does he call you a b*tch? A whore? That’s not love.”
“I love living in nature and having so many wild animals. But it does get a little scary sometimes!”
“Not once did I have someone tell me, ‘Just push through! You’ve got this.’ It was always, ‘I wasn’t able to either. Just give her formula.'”
“I was a mother, a daughter, a friend, a hard worker, someone you could trust and depend on—then all that changed in one short year.”
“I walked through much of my life feeling like an orphan. I am a child that was born, yet never raised. I should have ended up addicted and broken, just like my mom wanted me to be. I didn’t.”
“I remember crawling to the bathroom feeling like a knife was running its way from my navel down, unbeknownst to me that I was even pregnant. I remember sitting there thinking, ‘I’m going to be one of those people on that TV show ‘I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant’. Then, I felt the release of my dead baby. The ER doctor told me, ‘Oh, use a heating pad for any pain.’ That’s it. No follow up, no resources available, just use a heating pad.”
“These women know me better than some of my own family members. We’ve had our ups and downs, but there is nothing we wouldn’t do for each other.”
