Curls O Fred: Forgetting
http://curlsofred.blogspot.com/2013/05/forgetting.html
Monday, May 6, 2013. As my cough continued, and my nose ran on, I thumped around the kitchen. I slammed doors and threw items forcefully in the trash. L looked at me out of the corner of his eye and quietly asked if everything was okay. Yesterday was International Bereaved Mother's Day. And I forgot. I did not change my profile picture on fb. I did not send messages to my fellow BLM's. When had I become emotional about non-dead baby things? Part of me wishes I'd been astute enough to plan for this half m...

Curls O Fred: About
http://curlsofred.blogspot.com/p/about-curlsofred.html
My name is Rachel. I'm the mother to two children, one that we hold here in our arms (Simon, Feb. 2011), and one we can only hold in our hearts (Lyra, Dec. 2009). I miss my daughter daily, and am thankful for every second I get with her younger brother. I'm married to a wonderful man (L) who inspires me to think outside the box, and who wholeheartedly believes in me. I love him for many reasons.far too many than I can list here.

Wednesday, April 17, 2013. What I Mean When I Say My Daughter Was Stillborn". Is over at Still Standing Magazine. Read to understand, to feel less alone, to learn or to continue grieving. Much love. April 17, 2013 at 11:14 PM. Thank you. I truly had no idea. That piece of writing was. I almost want to say poetry because it reached into me and pulled me into it. And Im so, so sorry. Im not one to think anyone should EVER be over something - even a lifetime later. April 18, 2013 at 7:00 PM. Creative everyd...

Curls O Fred: About Lyra
http://curlsofred.blogspot.com/p/about-lyra.html
Lyra was our first child, and she was stillborn due to a complete placental abruption when I was 7 months pregnant. The abruption happened for no reason that we could find, which is rare. There is a constellation that is named Lyra, and a quirky, smart, fiery little girl with the same name in the "His Dark Materials" trilogy written by Philip Pullman. And it is a unique, and lovely name.and we love it. Significant posts talking about Lyra and grief:. Right Where I Am Project: One Year Five Months. Right ...

Curls O Fred: Right Where I Am 2013: Three years, Five months
http://curlsofred.blogspot.com/2013/05/right-where-i-am-2013-three-years-five.html
Friday, May 31, 2013. Right Where I Am 2013: Three years, Five months. We shared the other day how we watch children the age ours our supposed to be, and try to imagine what ours would look like, or how they'd act. And how it guts us to think on what we're missing. I draw and paint butterflies for her, and she participated in Dia de los Muertos with me back in October. And I know that if we didn't have each other, the move to this town would be that much harder. Add your "Right Where I Am" here. This is ...

Curls O Fred: October 2013
http://curlsofred.blogspot.com/2013/10/october-2013.html
Thursday, October 3, 2013. This month brings about a new excitement for me each year. The October after Lyra died, I was introduced to the art swaps involving the Day of the Dead theme. And I've loved it every single year, much to the concern and apprehension of most anyone I tell. "Skulls? You know, creepy things. *ha*. As in my previous post. Of creative individuals. :D. Images of my own creation and of the beautiful ones I'll receive later will be put up later in the month. The grief that comes after ...

Curls O Fred: One smile
http://curlsofred.blogspot.com/2013/06/one-smile.html
Wednesday, June 26, 2013. I was walking ahead of Simon, clearing the path for him and leading the way as we wandered to more garage sales. Two little kids came walking the other way on the sidewalk, with their mom walking the street. We shared a quick smile and glanced at each other's children. That's all. I'm sitting here with that knowledge, with the discomfort of it. Trying not to run away. Breathing in and breathing out. Giving L and Simon an extra hug today. Wishing you all a peaceful week. Wouldnt ...
