About this blog

The intent of this blog is to form an interactive community where parents of dead babies can come together and swap information, stories, tears, memories and encouragement. This is designed to be a neutral place. We are not religious nor are we anti-religious. Come as you are. You can sign the guest book, add your baby(ies) to the baby name memory list, review books on infant death, add warnings about movies and books that contain a dead baby, add your blog to our directory or a number of other things. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like to see something added to this blog. Rule One: be kind to each other. We're all in this together. We all suffer and miss our babies madly.

What's New?

If you are new to blogging and would like to be featured please let us know! Looking for parents who are new to this community and are looking for some peer support.

Penpals

I often get emails from moms looking to make personal connections with other moms who have been in the same situation.  I'd like to start up a penpal program so that I have appropriate people to refer these emails to (Dad's included!).  I am looking for people who fit in the following categories:

a relative or friend of someone who has lost a child but has not lost someone themselves
carrying to term
twin or other multiple loss where one or more survived
someone who has living children
medical termination

Also, I don't want to offend anyone but when I lost my son it was very important to me, as a Christian who does not go to church, to find another Christian to talk to.  While the DBC is not a religious source if you are religious please also let me know (if you're comfortable). 
If you would like to participate please understand that this is a commitment.  The worst thing is to email your penpal and feel like they're too busy for you.  Please email me if you are interested, especially if you are a man, we have one man so far but it would be nice to have some more.  lilyorange2@yahoo.ca
