Angel Heartbeat Bear Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed.

If you are following us on Facebook, you’ll know that we’re offering a giveaway! Our objective with having a Facebook page is to lead families directly here, to stillbirthday, not the other way around, but if you’re already on Facebook, I invite you to find the stillbirthday page. By the way, stillbirthday is also on Twitter.

While we provide support during the actual, physical birth of babies born in any trimester, and we provide support at any time afterward, including bereavement support, it is also important to provide trusted information regarding prevention of infant loss, and we work to lead you to the resources that provide the most trustworthy information regarding prevention, while also having the sensitivity to honor the feelings of blame and guilt that families who’ve already endured loss may feel as they learn about prevention information.

One such organization is Cora’s Story, who shares information regarding congenital heart defects and prevention, including pulse oximetry testing for newborns, after the first 24 hours after birth.

To help you remember “pulse oximetry at +24 hours”, once we reached 2,500 “likes” at our Facebook page, we decided to run a giveaway of an Angel Heartbeat Bear. The winner can use this for:

her own pregnancy, particularly if she’s carrying to term a baby with a fatal diagnosis
after her baby has been born, to record special words of love
as a gift for someone else

To enter in the giveaway:

If you are already on Facebook, “tag” the stillbirthday page and the Cora’s Story page together with a comment to invite others to like our page.
If you are not already on Facebook, simply leave a comment below, stating that you are interested in winning.

One person will be selected as the winner on March 17.

The person selected was Becky, who left a comment below. Congratulations Becky!

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
