You are so pretty and again I am so proud of you for sharing your story. It was super brave of you. 

That site is pretty much the bees knees to me. All the "normal" faces. It is sad to see but necessary I think to get rid of the taboo and stigma that goes along with pregnancy loss.

Yea its confusing for a sec. To clarify, there are two sites that are associated with each other. One is: https://www.facesofloss.com/ On that site, you tell your story and upload your picture. You can share your blog and e-mail if you would like to connect to people like you.

The other is https://www.iamtheface.org There you add your face. their goal is to have 2,000 faces by October 15th. You can also make a video of yourself saying "I am the face of (miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, etc.) and they will add it to the one big video they are going to make.

 I find the whole thing very empowering and freeing. Just seeing Carrie's post about the May 2011 board, it seems that people need to talk about this more or else lots of women will just continue to feel isolated and alone and guilty when they go through a loss.

Dang, they are really fast.  Didn't even take a half hour!  The editing is all screwy, but it isn't want really matters.
