Pledge to Be Me

We are all in this together. If you are around me for any amount of time, you will know that this is a mantra of mine, an expression that comes from my heart and is something I fully believe in. I’ve shared before at stillbirthday, the importance of our individuality and the importance of our community. It can be a challenge, finding our individuality on our grief journey. Stillbirthday has a Facebook page and a Twitter page, to reach more families and lead them to the resources here. How it works:

  1. Write your thoughts on your own wall, on the stillbirthday wall, or in our private Stillbirthday Support Group on Facebook (you can write your story or a piece of your story on our Facebook wall, and when you do, it will be placed within a stillbirthday URL as well).  
  2. Use the hashtags:  #stillbirthday #pledgetobeme

That’s it.  It’s really that simple. What you can share:

  • A positive truth about you!  I am a bereaved mother, and I can say at least one positive thing about myself.  I invite you to as well.
  • Your favorite resources.  I love connecting, but that doesn’t mean I can always endorse.  Now you can share your favorites.
  • Your favorite things – saw a pretty butterfly today?  Give a shout out to nature’s beauty!

What does it mean, to pledge to be me?

  1. It means that you allow yourself the permission and the safe space to explore your own authentic journey.
  2. It means that you honor those in our community who do the same – let’s share and give credit to our favorite places and things!

We are all in this together.

 

Be You.

Share You.

Heal You.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES
«    14 of 16    »

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
