I’ve seen this photo going through the internet:

I don’t know who to give authorship credit for it, but it isn’t me.

Nevertheless, it does draw an important point.

Thanksgiving is this week here in the US, and with this Friday being called “Black Friday” because of driving sales, and Monday being called “Cyber Monday” for online sales, many are reaching for Tuesday, November 27 to close the season’s opening shopping week by turning it into a Thankful Tuesday.

Thankful Tuesday

The purpose of Thankful Tuesday is to give – give your creativity to lend a charitable hand to an organization, such as sewing diapers for Teeny Tears, or lend financial contribution to organizations such as Mason’s Cause to help fill their financial reserve for families facing funeral costs.

Through this past year, some amazing organizations and people have generously contributed their talents and resources to help stillbirthday offer giveaways to you and to help you realize that you are not alone.  It is important to realize their positive effect, even if you were never the recipient of an item.  Their very presence validates that you are not alone, a truth that we all need.

Please, visit the list of sponsors and supporters of stillbirthday this week, take a look at what they have to offer.

Consider buying from them, and, consider giving them a little extra cash, simply in honor of your baby, your grief, your path to healing.  Validate that these organizations have supported you, and that, we are in this together.

And, if you’d like to make it to that list, why, simply read what it’s all about and connect with me.  I’d love to hear from you.  Together, we can find our way on this journey toward healing, and bring some encouragement to others as well.

Happy, Thankful, Tuesday.
