    Would like to share something with you all

    Before I start, I would like to say that I have not personally experienced miscarriage or loss, but a lot of people close to me have and I hold it very close to my heart. I wish no one had to experience a miscarriage, stillbirth or loss, but the world can be a very cruel place.

    I would like to share a website I came accross today.
    Its a lady (Carly) that lives in WA, who if a parent e-mails a tribute to their child that they have lost in any circumstance to her, she will go to her local beach at sunset and write their childs name in the sand, take a photo of it and post it back on her website.
    I think it is a very beautiful and inspiring website, and a very thoughtful thing that Carly does.
    I just had to share it with you all. I do have moderator's permission to post this

    I was finally able to find the story of her son, and I agree, it was so beautiful but absolutely heartbreaking. I was a sobbing mess sitting here at my computer.

    i have started something similar in honour of my friend whose baby was born sleeping at 36 weeks, 5 days called Nicolas Tears Nicola's Tears the children's names will be painted in watercolour to represent the many tears a mother sheds in this loss and they are painted to remind the mother that someone cares about their loss and their sadness xx

    Thanks for posting this. A friend of ours has just lost twins (boy and girl) due to early labour at 23 wks 5 days. It's heartbreaking and I have passed this on to a family member to see if it is something they would like.

    Wow!

    So Beautiful.. But I think I am at anger stage of my grief.. I am so angry that there are so many babies that die!!! It is not fair.. I am so glad I am not alone but in a way wish was.. How can it happen?? How can there be page after page, website after website?? People get old, they die.. Yes it's sad but at least they got to live.. Babies should not die. It makes me wonder about life and death.. That is another story..... Sorry Just venting!!
