CYG: Day 19

The project of the day...
Day 19. Project Have you worked on any projects inspired by your loss? They could be anything from an art project to organizing memory boxes for a hospital. If you have not yet done a project you could share something that you would like to work on.

To date, I haven't worked on any projects.  I have been in touch with the hospital about the way things were handled after the boys passed.  Things like getting things for one boy and not the other.  A grieving parent has NO CLUE what to ask for and having some moms be offered some things and not others just seems so frustrating.  Having twins, I definitely noticed a difference.  A mom with a single child may not know what she is missing.  I'm hoping that by sharing my frustration with my experience, I can help the doctors, nurses, and administrators in the NICU understand the importance of having certain things, and having them offered to every person.

That's really all I've done.  I'm thinking I may start making hats or look at the memory boxes and NICU welcome stuff and figuring out how I can contribute to those, too.  I was thinking lately about how I could help other twin moms because being a twin mom was so special to me and having not only one but TWO babies in the NICU is an extremely overwhelming experience.  I just haven't figured out yet how to do that...any ideas are definitely welcome! :)
