We have a great program here at stillbirthday called Still Together. The concept is in recognizing our full family tree, and that the people we love are all together in our heart.
Claim the Space is a photography project, based on a similar concept. Click this link to view our Claim the Space collection.
Here’s an example:
In Claim the Space, you will use one of your keepsakes that represent your baby(ies), and you will take a photograph of that keepsake in special places or with special people. Indeed, your photo may very well be included in the Still Together collection, but what makes the Claim the Space collection special is that it can represent special feelings and special places as well as special people.
Keepsake ideas that represent your baby might include:
- a photo of your baby
- a zero candle – from any grocery store
- any special keepsake you have that represents your baby
Claim the Space is a way to get really creative.
Have you always dreamed of taking your first daughter to get her first hair cut or her toenails painted? Or maybe shopping for her prom dress?
Have you dreamed about taking your son to a professional baseball game? Or out on a farm to practice driving your truck?
Send in your photo, along with the story, to Heidi.faith@stillbirthday.com, with “Claim the Space” as the subject line.
Maybe a zero candle, like our stillbirthday candle, can represent your baby – a photo like this might be with your subsequent “rainbow” baby.
Did you know?
After you’ve shared your baby’s birth story here at stillbirthday, you can share anything else (we have a LOT of ways to get connected), and then you can combine all of the things you’ve shared together in one place, called our Still Parenting Diaries.
