A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon a site called Curls O Fred (click here to link to Rachel’s site)...
“As and attempt to express, process,
and grieve after the loss of my daughter who was stillborn due to
placental abruption at 30 weeks, this blog will be my words, pictures,
paintings, drawings in my long journey away from a mere existence to
true living again.”
Rachel’s work is creative, deep, real,
heartbreaking, uplifting and inspiring. Looking at her paintings, I
feel her pain as my own. I relate to so many pieces as a Babyloss Mama. I
get it. Her work makes me nod in agreement and think on a different
level. It makes me cry for my loss and it brings relief to know that
someone is able to put my words into pictures, poems and paintings.
Her latest is the piece above which
she has come up with (along with several others) that will be with her
for the March of Dimes Walk for Babies. I had tears in my eyes and a
little lump in my throat when I saw that she had included my Sweet Baby
Claire along with “all the many other babies that we love and miss.”
What you have done and continue to do
in Lyra’s honour is beautiful, Rachel. Thank you for letting us in.
Thank you, thank you. xo
PS March of Dimes Walk for Babies...
does anyone have any information on any events that happen in Canada? I
have tried looking on the internet but have not come up with much? I
know it is too late for this year however I would love to find out more
and possibly participate next year?
