If I can’t live with you, then I have to live for you, and I will keep your memory alive in the most positive way I know how. Kindness creates a ripple effect, touching lives you don’t even know about. Kindness is good for the mental health of not only the one who receives the kindness, but the giver of kindness also benefits from positive mental health Lets spread kindness 🥰 Repost from @moreandbest10 • I will say your name and tell your story to all who will hear it. I will do good because of you. I will let the world know that you were here. Lives will change for the better because of you. I will not sit quietly. I will not let them forget. You were here. You were mine. Your life has purpose and you matter. My final act of love is keeping your memory alive. #grief #griefjourney #griefsupport #griefawareness #normalizegrief #childloss #infantloss #miscarriage #stillbirth #tfmr #neonatalloss #parentingafterloss #lifeafterloss #grievingmother #babyloss #babylosscommunity #lossmama #heylossmama #bereavedmother #bereavedparents (at Kindness Inspires Kindness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvUu4aM2r0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

VBS week Wednesday update:

My kids have successfully made it through the first two days of their first Vacation Bible School program at our church. I know I was excited to start, and I still am, but I very quickly became the worrisome Mama I figured I'd be.

My son Roran is loving VBS and playing with kids his age, but I can't help but feel stressed out when I see him struggling to behave himself. He's never done anything like this before, he's homeschooled, and until now, he's only ever spent the hour a week in Sunday School in a classroom type of setting that I wasn't involved in. I purposely didn't volunteer this year, so he'd get his break from me, hovering over him.

But I see him from the parking lot, biting my nails while he's playing soccer with his group. I wonder if he's making friends, getting along, obeying his instructors. And I see him having his hand held by the teacher, and worry that he's misbehaving. I see his step sister making friends and holding hands and having no trouble with the excitement because of her experience in daycare and on field trips with my step son's online charter school, and I worry that my little boy is having trouble. I see him light up when he sees me, just to start ramping up his noisiness and start to show out, and it makes me worry that my presence is making him act out.

These are just some of the struggles of a mom with intense anxiety. I worry about his teachers liking him, I worry about him making friends, I worry about him being a good helper like he is for me at home, for his teachers.

But, I also realize we all have to start somewhere, and this is his start. He's definitely having a good time, despite a few tantrums and some insubordination. He's remembering what they've taught him, even if he is a little boisterous during lessons. And I think he's enjoying his time away from his Mama, even if he gets a little excitable at the sight of me.

So, the week is going well, and he's learning, and I'm learning, and he's only going to be new to this for a short time. Praying he will learn from this experience and from the people God has placed in charge of presenting the gospel to him in this year's VBS. And I'm praying for my anxiety to let me survive this week, letting my baby be cared for by other people for the first time ever.

I know that God will watch my son, and help to guide him. I just need reminding sometimes that I was that kid too, only 21 years ago, and I needed the space to learn and act up a little.

I forgot to check Madeline’s backpack after school on Tuesday. I checked it this morning and found this picture she had drawn. I was a bit taken aback when I first looked at it. Then I really teared up as her little voice said, “I drew our family. See that’s my brother that lives in Heaven.” Oh my sweet darling girl. I love the ways you include your brother in your life. #madelineroselouisedenney #joshuapatrickdenney #theDenneys #parentingafterloss #familyoffour #siblingsgrievetoo #brotherandsister https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp7LeJBgm3SI-ZKOrtN7E95AAfnZQ7gE5tCqCQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k34cwujybidt

I dedicate this #repost #gratitude to Sullivan Ryan & his #rainbowbaby sibling ❤️ Here are some lovely words from @dedicatedtosullivan : ・・・ Saturday morning....... My very sweet and thoughtful sister-in-law found this book on Amazon and sent it to me. As I sit here reading (an all too familiar story) with my coffee, breathing in the freshness of Bergamot oil diffusing in the air, my daughter quietly watching cartoons, my dog snoozing on the floor and my Rainbow beside me there is a much needed calmness that surrounds me. I hope many of you can find those fleeing moments of peace today. If any of you have read this book I'd love to know. #stillbirthfamily #stillbirth #stillbirthawareness #missingSullivan #grievingmother #pails #pals #pregnancyandinfantloss #pregnancyafterloss #parentingafterloss #selfcare #peacefulmoments #peace #calm #coffee #book #reading #sleepingbaby #life #oildiffuser #saturdaymorning #ExpectingSunshine @alexismariechute

My heart window is open right now. Wide fucking open. I love to be busy during the holiday season, but when I slow down, the grief settles in again. Feeling extra vulnerable and just... sad. This would’ve been your third Christmas. I don’t know if Christmas will ever be the same. ⁣ #AvelineLily #ALC #Miscarriage #Stillbirth #InfantLoss #BabyLoss #ChildLoss #PregnancyLoss #LifeAfterLoss #ParentingAfterLoss (at Ithaca, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BryRApMAbnT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wbf27ds3muzc

Tonight we might our candle in honor of Joshua Patrick Denney and so many other babies who, though their lives were short, have made a huge impact on my life and so many others. Tonight I am thinking of you and your babies who you never got to hold, those you held far to briefly, those you never brought home, those who didn’t get to stay for long, and those who have only existed in your hopes, dreams, and prayers. Tonight I am saying many of their names out loud. Letting the universe now they existed, they are loved, and they will never be forgotten. #joshuapatrickdenney #waveoflight #internationalwaveoflight #waveoflight2018 #iamoneinfour #infantloss #babyloss #parentingafterloss https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-Vlq2h8w1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fuwj2in1jl8s

Worth the Wait

I'm coming up for air; knocking some dust off the ole' Tumblr for something that I think is important to discuss. Worth the wait. I've been hearing this term a lot from some very well-meaning family, friends, and acquaintances. Absolutely. The twinjas were worth the wait. Yes, (and of course I'm biased here) you see my super cute toddlers (again, biased) and sweetly and kindly say to me that they were worth the wait. With that knowing grin. Almost an eyebrow wiggle; and if we were closer in proximity, I bet you'd even throw in a little elbow prodding action. Absolutely. They were so worth the wait. But. That doesn't mean they magically took away the pain and heartache of the 5 years that came before them. Pain doesn't magically disappear (at least not for me). Grief is still very much there and very much colors me as a parent. Yes, it changes. Evolves. Dulls even. I don't have that empty, aching hole...the fear that I may never have a child. That is gone. (The fear that they could be taken from me at anytime? Oh, that one came in like gangbusters to take its place.) But the pain? It's still there, within. I still have a difficult time with pregnancy announcements. With ultrasound images posted to my social media feed. With feeling like an outsider at baby showers. I don't want to discuss your, my, or anyone else's birth story. I have that wall I built for so many years; the invisible one that has a few chunks missing...the one I used for the showers; the questions about why I don't have children yet; the questioning if I even liked children (yes, I was actually asked that before...wtf?). I'm still trying to find my grace. I'm still trying to heal. I'm still often angry. Angry at the lost time with my babies. If I had had them after my first IUI, after my 5th IUI, after my 1st or 2nd IVF...if I hadn't have lost their sister (which opens another can of worms since I had my transfer the same month as her EDD so it would've been impossible to have them had I had her and on and on and on)....I would have had so much more time with them. I really try hard not to "What if" still. It's difficult for me. I want to trust this path. From it, I met some amazing friends, I get to advocate for infertility health rights (stay tuned for an upcoming post about how you can help with advocacy too!), I've been able to be a support to friends and strangers who are forging a similar (or sometimes very different) path, I've become more empathetic, and more thankful for what I have. I'm so beyond grateful every day that I finally get to parent these sweet, smart, funny rascals. But I still have a lot of healing to do. And that's okay. I just want you to know...if you're parenting after IF/loss and you're still hurting/angry/resentful/whatever? So am I. You're not alone. It doesn't mean you aren't appreciative of what you've been given. It just means you're changed from this process. Infertility is likened to cancer in how it affects us emotionally. It's the truth. We can continue to heal, but it takes time. Yes, my kids were worth the wait. But I still don't think it's fair that I had to wait. Like I said, I'm still finding my grace.
