Birthdays in Heaven

Emilia’s First Birthday in Heaven

One year ago today, I was forced to fit an entire lifetime of love and memories into a mere 52 hours with my daughter, Emilia. We managed to say hello and goodbye all in that short amount of time. Emilia's life may have ended in tragedy, but what survived is…

Pain

Why does it feel like such a lonely journey?

The DAISY Award

All of us have at one point in our lives been touched by the compassion and generosity of another person. Sometimes it is when we least expect it and need help and kindness the most. When my family was in the hospital for the birth and recovery of our stillborn…

Pain

Heart-Wrenching Pain

I go to bed every night asking myself “How are you still going?” Plenty of days I feel like my heart will stop beating. I can’t handle the grief anymore and my body just wants to give out from all the pain and sadness. I have lost my purpose in…

KC Hope
