WHEN TO CHOOSE TO HEAL YOURSELF

One of the hardest things with grief, besides grieving itself, is allowing ourselves to heal. Healing may sound close to impossible at first; A betrayal, a delusion, complete absurdity while suffocating from a pain that takes over our world. It can stop time, make every little part of daily life seem like a mountain to climb. Yet it can transform wha[...]

DEALING WITH POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION

  Dealing with postpartum depression? The baby blues is a very common reaction after childbirth, especially among new moms. It usually manifests itself in the form of mood swings, anxiety, crying spells, and difficulty sleeping. Most women have postpartum depression during the first two or three days after delivery, and it may last up to two weeks.[...]

GENTLE PARENTING: THE BASICS

If you don't know by now, I'm a huge advocate for Gentle Parenting and I'm going to explain why I strongly believe it matters so much. I call it 'Gentle Parenting' because it's popular enough by now for most people to recognize what it is. Although 'Gentle Parenting' to me is also 'Conscious Parenting,' I'd even consider it an awakened type[...]

BECOMING A NEW MOM AND DEALING WITH THE LOSS OF A PARENT

Losing a parent and a sibling is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. Becoming a mom without my mom in my life is the second hardest thing, and I deal with it daily. I had a pretty good grip on my grief before becoming a mom, but I realized that not only does grief come in different stages, it also comes in different shapes throughout your[...]

SHARING MY HONEST FEELINGS ABOUT #MOMLIFE

MOTHERHOOD IS MORE THAN A LIFESTYLE. Women: for the ones that desire to, we are born to instinctively create new lives, thanks to our bodies that know exactly how to do so. One morning you wake up next to a tiny little human being that you created for 9 months with joy, fear, prudence, excitement and hope. Isn't it just beautiful? It's a lot of work t[...]

Here are three things I wish someone told me to prepare before coming home from the hospital with my newborn. I learned this all through lived experiences. ⁠
⁠
👉🏼 Set up a postpartum shelf on wheels with all my healing needs- most is provided by the hospital. Having everything on deck and reachable when needed, especially during exhausting times is very helpful.⁠
⁠
👉🏼 If breastfeeding, the first thing I did is contact a lactation consultant. Every breastfeeding journey is different with each baby and sometimes can be too daunting with do’s and don’t. This gave me direction and a following game plan.⁠
⁠
👉🏼 Take really good care of my nipples and have prepped meals- healthy meals that I froze prior and coconut oil for nipples and nipple shield cups were everything while my skin got used to feeding.
⁠
Do you have anything to add to this list?⁠

I can't look at my rainbow baby ⁠
without thinking of my angel baby. ⁠
⁠
I can't think of my angel baby⁠
without thanking for our rainbow baby. ⁠
⁠
There isn't a world or heaven where a child is replaceable. 💔⁠
⁠
The more I care for Zoë, the more my heart breaks for what happened to my little Blake. Grief of a child is the most awful thing I’ve ever had to go through and that has forever changed me. Holding him, kissing his little nose, birthing him for hours and having to let him go is my biggest heartbreak that keeps on hurting. 

While I get to hold my beautiful rainbow baby, my beautiful miracle, while I observe all of her…her eyes, her nose, life through her expressions and smile…I take it all in but my heart and body can constantly feel the hole of these moments that I’ll never get to have with him. 

To anyone who’s survived such a devastating loss…my heart knows how you feel at night when you close your eyes. My arms are wrapped around you.
