Doula Luminary

 

Wife and mother to four boys. Four angels. Cooking up double rainbows (twins) due this summer. I stumbled upon still birthday when I lost my third angel. My first loss I went about alone. It was a shock I was in that idea that it would “never happen to me”.  It took a long time to come to terms. After months of trying again I had my 4th son and first rainbow. I was scared after a hard pregnancy. We wanted more and so we didn’t prevent anymore. We then found out a little late I was pregnant again when my rainbow was 3 months old. I found out at the worst time. Being rushed to the ER dying in pain. My tube had ruptured due to an ectopic pregnancy. I was actually dying from internal bleeding. I then realized I was not immune and things DO happen. We then suffered a still birth of my first known daugther. Then another ectopic soon after. When we had our still birth is when I finally started looking for support and help. That is when I found still birthday. I found help, support and love. As well as understanding. I was NOT alone. After working as a mentor of miscarriage, still birth and early infant loss I realized I wanted to do more. I signed up, fell in love, dove into everything just wanting to help and let others know you are NOT alone. I want to walk the path side by side with others. The same path I walked alone, until I found still birthday. I have always had a passion for pregnancy and helping others. My goal from as far back as I can remember was that I wanted to be a midwife. I hope to help and be there for others the best I can. You are not alone.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES
«    5 of 16    »

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

— Paulo Coelho

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.

— John Calvin
