Resources

I thought I'd include a page of resources that I have found helpful.  Of friends' blogs and websites, as well as books and whatever else I can think of.  I will continue to add to this list as I find new things!

Books
"Empty Cradle, Broken Heart: Surviving the Death of Your Baby" by Deborah L. Davis, Ph.D. - This book has been a savior.  Camden and I have both felt it very useful.  The hospital gave it to us before we left.  It has justified our feelings and helped us understand them and ourselves.  I haven't found a better one yet!!

Websites
Still Standing Online Magazine - Great for infertility, miscarriage, still birth, prematurity, and infant loss.  I've found a lot of great stuff here.

SHARE Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support, Inc.

Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope

Carly Marie Project Heal - Carly Marie is a wonderful woman who has started projects like "Christians Beach," "Lost for Words Card Line," and "Luminous Light."  She also is a huge advocate for a Mother's Day and Father's Day for parents who have lost their children (that are different than your typical Hallmark holidays).  Wonderful, wonderful woman.

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep - This organization is amazing.  They come and take pictures of your baby during a time of loss.  It is the ONLY way we have beautiful pictures of Andrew.  I hope some day I can find the strength to volunteer for this fabulous organization.

March of Dimes - Regardless of our outcome, this organization raises money for awareness and research of premature births.  I plan to walk this coming years' walk in remembrance of my two beautiful sons in the hopes that the money I raise can help find a cure for HELLP or at the very least treatment to keep babies like my boys alive.

StillBirthday - I'm still exploring this one but have found some great entries that have been helpful for my recovery....

Celebrating Pregnancy - Information on a book written by a loss Momma.  Check it out!

Blogs
Miscarriage, Still Birth, and Infant Loss Blog Directory - Go here to find any type of blog around these issues.  I found some really great ones that I'm still reading through and connecting with the moms.

My dear friend Jana's blog is amazing.  She and I met through a mutual friend.  While Sammy was still fighting, Jana and I shared stories of losing a twin and mourning him while still fighting for the other.  She was lucky enough to bring home her beautiful little boy, Cohen, and I enjoy reading her blog about raising such an amazing little boy who beat all the odds. <3  You can read her blog here.
