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.

Purchases made
I bought Liam an outfit for next Halloween - green courdoroy pants, spider socks, a darling little shirt with a truck full of pumpkins, an excessively soft orange hat. So Liam, you have to live now, and be here next Halloween, ya hear.
How neat, Victoria. The trouble is, however, knowing what SIZE Liam will wear next year at Halloween. Mya, who will turn one year old late November, already is wearing 2T and 24 months sizes. LOL.
Our babies have been a little short of age in size - both Ruth and Joanna, and all three of Jo's babies. I bought one hear clothes for Liam. If he is much bigger than that, I guess I missed.
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.
