SBD helps Mother’s Refuge

One of the programs we offer here at stillbirthday is a Love Cupboard program.  This is a tangible needs program that serves multiple purposes:

  • provides some clothing and other tangible items to families in need.
  • provides these resources to families who are expecting a baby with a fatal or difficult diagnosis.
  • provides these resources to families who are pregnant with a subsequent pregnancy and have been too fearful to invest in these items out of fear of losing the pregnancy.
  • provides a temporary or permanent/donation storage place for families who’ve endured pregnancy or infant loss.

Each Love Cupboard is uniquely named and locally coordinated by caring members within communities.  They are each run based on the needs of your community and the expectations set forth by your local Love Cupboard coordinator.  Visit the Love Cupboard link to learn more.

Through the support of my local community and their donation of maternity clothes, infant clothes and other items, I was able to use my local Love Cupboard, named Mom’s Connection, to provide these needed items to Mother’s Refuge, another local organization that recently endured a devastating fire.

Mother’s Refuge is a homeless shelter for teen mothers and their infants.

With your generous help, stillbirthday’s Mom’s Connection Love Cupboard was able to gift Mother’s Refuge with maternity clothing, infant girls clothing, infant boys clothing, a safety gate, a stroller, two pack n plays, and more.

 

Thank you for your support of stillbirthday, so that we can impact our local communities, globally.

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
