Sunrise Ritual
1. SUNRISE RITUAL | At the beginning of every Capture Your Grief Project we all get up to watch the sun rise over our Pregnancy, Infant and Child Loss Remembrance Month. Set your alarm to get up before the sunrise. Make yourself a cup of tea and wrap yourself up in your favourite blanket. Go outside and whisper your child's name to the sky and dedicate this time to them. If the weather won't allow you to step outside, sit quietly by a window. Take a picture of the sunrise and if you choose to share it on social media, let us know what part of the world you are from. Welcome to Capture Your Grief. I wish there was no reason for you to be here, but I am so glad you found us.
2. CHILD OF MINE | Share about your beloved child who died. What were they like. What is their name? If they don't have a name, share who they are and what they mean to you.
October begins again with PAILs Awareness. This will always be dear to my heart, because we lost our daughter Abigail, our fourth child who was stillborn at 22 weeks. Our daughter died. There is no easy way to say that, no easy way to deal with that. It is still every bit as bitter of a fact as it was the day we walked out of the ultrasound room. Abigail was born August 25th and she would be 4 years old today. She was due on New Year's Eve, and might have celebrated a birthday with her Mister. I think of her daily, but especially in the month of October.
