Our journey through love, loss and HoPE. Welcome to our family blog! Monday, January 3, 2011. It's a little harder than I thought. Writing about life post-Abby is a whole lot harder than I anticipated. I suppose part of that is because a good deal of what I’m thinking and feeling still requires reconciliation/ sorting out. I am posting now partly because a few people have emailed me to ask how things are- I find that shocking! And rather flattering, I admit, so thank you for caring. I considered explaini...

The Allard Family: Babylost Mother's Day
http://theallardupdate.blogspot.com/2011/05/babylost-mothers-day.html
Our journey through love, loss and HoPE. Welcome to our family blog! Sunday, May 1, 2011. When I was having Abby's Name in the Sand done, I learned about International Babylost Mother's Day. There's a group in Australia who celebrate it in a really meaningful way, and I've found a good number of people here in the United States who acknowledge it too. It is a celebration of Mothers who have lost a child during or after pregnancy. They are mothers too, but will anyone acknowledge them? Names in the Sand.

Our journey through love, loss and HoPE. Welcome to our family blog! Tuesday, November 30, 2010. A Story I Identify with. This past Sunday was the first Sunday of the Advent, and the first candle represents hope. Our Pastor said "Hope is like light in the darkness." Each time I hear or see that word somewhere I feel like Abby is reminding me she's still with me. The Thirteen Days of Arthur. We got by with a little help from our friends.

Our journey through love, loss and HoPE. Welcome to our family blog! Wednesday, February 2, 2011. I'm glad we knew. This past Saturday another family in our parish buried their newborn daughter, Anne Marie. I'm not sure of their circumstances, but I got the impression that it was a normal pregnancy and they had all the normal expectations that go along with it. I don't know them, but my heart broke for them and I cried, knowing how awful and shell-shocked and suddenly empty they must feel. Im glad we knew.

Our journey through love, loss and HoPE. Welcome to our family blog! Wednesday, December 8, 2010. This week I discovered that Macy’s has an entire department dedicated to “Shapewear”. This includes items with taglines like “fat-free dressing” and “body behave”. One tag said “Your clothes shouldn’t require 45 minutes of cardio to wear”. It was really quite amazing to go through; tubes, tanks, slips. This is some very serious spandex we’re talking about- “Spanx” is just the beginning. Yes, four weeks and o...
