Happy Stillbirthday to my baby Joshua. He was born on Mothers day 3 years ago.
He only lived for 2 hours before he left us. In our arms a short time but forever in our hearts!

How do we help our bereaved children connect to their siblings and to their feelings?
Your Baby’s Age

If you believe in Heaven, Eternity, or Paradise – if you believe in life after death – do you have an age in your mind, an image in your mind, of what your baby might look like?
I love this photo, because it also shows how grandparents hold parents hold children. It shows how our grandparents are impacted by their family – including births and losses.
Stillbirthday Rainbow Bridge
April 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment
As a doula, birth is often likened to a bridge.
I can companion a mother through labor to birth, and I can meet her on the other side after her baby is born, but the actual birth of her baby, in any trimester, is her journey.
I can’t cross the bridge for her, and I can’t undo the journey for her. She is the mother whose body is laboring forward.
Have you heard a Waldorf birth story? It is a spiritual story, that includes the baby crossing a rainbow bridge at birth. It is a story that parents read to their children every birthday – and, quite appropriately, every stillbirthday as well.
This beautiful rainbow bridge is in Taiwan. Wouldn’t you just love to go there and light a lantern for your baby from this bridge?
