This is a blog of hope and grief from the viewpoint of the mother of a younn woman expriencing infertility and loss. It is a chronicle of "secondary grief", one step removed, written to process my own feelings while staying supportive of my daughter and her husband, whose story this really is. I have their permission to share this blog through Lost and Found.

eleven weeks
Sprout is now supposedly about the size of a lime - a much more substantial seeming fruit than a kumquat or a grape. I ca imagine a lime - ral and solid in my hand - and that makes me smile.
I have so many roles, each precious: mother, grandmother, wife, widow,friend life coach, mystic, writer. I have a strong commitment to choosing love over ego, to living out of what I perceive to be wisdom. My motto, borrowed from Mort Satten, is "Real is better than perfect" I work hard to do the "next right thing and not to get stuck in a rigid idea of what the next right thing is. I cherish paradox. I believe there is no one right way to do almost anything.
