Friday Blog Roundup - Coming Soon

First of all, I want to make it clear that I take no credit for this idea - I was asked to contribute to this wonderful site by its creators and I'm very, very happy to do so. And honored and grateful too.

The support and gentle understanding from people who truly do know what you're going through is invaluable when you find yourself struggling to navigate the terrifying and lonely road to healing after the loss of a child. The words of fellow mothers (and fathers) in mourning can be a salve on days when the pain seems almost impossible to bear.

It's those beautiful words that I'll be looking at and collecting at the end of every week, starting Friday, April 6th. It's called a Blog Roundup, made familiar to me by the good folks over at Stirrup Queens and Sperm Palace Jesters. But while they roundup blogs on infertility, parenting and loss, the roundup here will only focus on blogs written by parents in mourning.

Even though our blogs are public, our thoughts, feelings and reactions to our losses are very private and personal. That's why I will only be referencing blogs listed on this site. If you have listed your blog here, then we assume it's okay to reference it in a blog roundup every now and then too.

Please spread the word. If you know someone who you think would like to be listed here - and included in the roundup - tell them about this site. Maybe even post a link to it on your blog if you're so inclined.

There really is strength in numbers. And unwavering support and an incredible amount of understanding and love.
