Stillbirthday Parties

Stillbirthday has been here for just about 2 years, and we are constantly growing.

I am really excited to tell you that we have a community over at Google+!

One of the neat things about this new community, is the ability to have online video discussions, like Skype.

Google calls them “Hangouts” – we’re going to call them “Stillbirthday Parties”. Just casual times – no intensive subjects, just casual presence.

These are opportunities for you to see the faces of the SBD team, meet other stillbirthday families, and just chat about wherever you are in your journey. I’m going to be chatting about some of my favorite places in bereavement support, and some of the newest things we’re working on here at SBD.

I am a wee nervous about coming out from behind the keyboard, but I think it’ll be so nice to put faces and voices to the special stillbirthday families – the newest ones, and those who have held my hand with me as I’ve stumbled along on my own grief journey for the past two years.

So, here’s the link to the stillbirthday Google community – and make sure you take a peek at the “events” link for our upcoming Stillbirthday Party!

Want an easy way to remember the day we have our hangouts each month?

The number 10 is the first time you actually see a zero in the number – even though we know it’s actually there, silently standing as a placeholder for all of the numbers 1-9. So, on the 10th of every month, you’ll be able to see all of us, each other, the families and the people who make stillbirthday what it is.

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
