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.

Halfway
Ruth posted that today is day 130 of her pregnancy with Sprout and day 260 is full term. Halfway home! Home to waiting arms and a painted nursery and all kinds of hopes and dreams and kisses and rhymes and LOVE - so much love.
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.
