As you learn to know me, you will gain an understanding of the deep importance being a mama is to me.
After many years of infertility, God blessed us with 4 babies in 4 years. Being a mama was and still is my dream come true.
My worst nightmare came true in July 2014 when our youngest miracle baby, Abby Marie, went to live with Jesus on a day that was supposed to be a fun filled day of swimming.
Though our grief has changed in the almost 12 years that she has been gone, it still manifests its difficult self in some way frequently.
After Abby died, I found great comfort in an online community I created called “Remembering Abby, A Grieving Mama’s Heart”. The name has since changed to “A Grieving Heart” to accept a broader category of those grieving.
It is there I shared the emotions of day to day living after life is turned upside down. Though my posting there is sporadic, I love the friendship I have in the people who gather there! While I will continue using that group (which anyone can join) as a primary sounding board for the grief process, my goal is to bring more of that here.
I am still working on all the technical details of combining my stuff into one place but in the meantime, I’d be honored if you’d check out the great community I’m so blessed to be a part of.
