tgif!

Brené Brown in "The Gifts of Imperfection,” has inspired me to write a TGIF post each Friday: Trusting, Grateful, Inspired Fridays, to help me be more intentional about bringing joy back into my life after experiencing stillbirth.  What is your TGIF?  

Happy Friday and I hope joy is part of your day.

Here is my TGIF for this week:

I am trusting that the travel that lies ahead will be done safely. 

I am grateful for friendship.  Kind, supportive and understanding friends are a true gift.

I am inspired by the wonderful work of Mel and Lesley who are committed to both comforting families who have experienced loss and to stillbirth advocacy and education.  I feel truly blessed to have met them.

Here are some daily inspirations that have helped me get through this week:

It is so hard, but I will try to let the weight of guilt and regret slip away.

Whatever images come to me in my grief that bring me stability and peace are gifts.

I will welcome and care for the ways in which my loved one continues to live on in me.
