Summer 2013 Must-Have

2013 marks 25 years of official Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness since President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5890.

Bereavement is just plain hard, isn’t it?

Is it possible at all, that we bereaved mothers can don something that is representative of our children, of our motherhood, of our bereavement, and still have it be….fashionable?

Still have it be…dare I say…sexy?

Life after loss challenges everything – including how we feel about our bodies and about our sexuality.

I believe that, for the bereaved mother who is also a wee bit daring, the Awareness belly ring could prove to be a wonderful addition to her summer attire.

I’ve got one, and I love it! It’s a precious feeling, decorating my belly, my outer womb, with something so symbolic.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES

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
