Member Stories
From the depths of sorrow, to finding peace and hope, our members have so much they want to share about this unexpected journey we are on...
 Greta and Harriet 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 be beginning their educational careers next week. We 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 be listening to precious four year old fears, welcoming excitement and packing up backpacks that are too heavy for little bodies to carry. Oscar and Eva 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 be able to proudly display their bravery and experience by walking their little sisters into the school. Troy and I 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 be shedding tears because the years are going too rapidly and all four of our children are growing before our eyes, not because only two of our children will be walking into their classrooms.
Instead of pencil boxes and washable markers, we helped Greta and Harriet’s classmates’ sensory area by donating needed supplies. What we 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 be doing is loving them. 💗💜💗💜💗 And we are. 💗💜💗💜💗 To our bereaved tribe, please don’t allow any, single person to tell you how you 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 (or 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 not) love and parent your children after they die. ~ Greta and Harriet’s Mama

Coming down is hard
The further you’ve built it up Knowing what you’ve got left There is no way to know You’ve poured everything you had Into a little distilment of you A fulfillment of all you dreamed Nobody should have to go Through what we do Bleak times they fade so slow How are we to know What it means to be so high The lowest you will go You never can define Never remaining Pulling us on down The moments you’ve got left There is no way to know You’ve poured everything you had Into a little distilment of you A fulfillment of all you dreamed Nobody should have to go Through what we do Bleak times they fade so slow You’ve poured everything you had Into a little distilment of you A fulfillment of all you dreamed Nobody should have to go Through what we do Bleak times they fade so slow ~ Song written by Zach, father of Theodore and Holden |

AuthorEach of these stories was featured in an e-newsletter and distributed to parents and professionals in our community. We hope that parents reading these stories will feel less alone and that the caregivers and professionals that we trust can learn from our experiences. Archives
