Thankful Tuesday

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.

She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.

— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.

— C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

I am strong.

— January, founder of Birth Without Fear

When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.

— John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite.

— Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
