The Bump's Loss Blog

cherrycobbler · September 2012

I hope everyone is doing well today.

Several months ago, I had the idea to create a blog to be used in conjunction with the Bump's Loss Board. I talked with Carolee about this and went to work. My hope is that it can possibly help some new loss-moms know that they are not alone in the very beginning, I know for me I just couldn't bring myself to post in the very beginning. There are some fantastic encouraging words written by Loss Board members, a little about what to expect if you have just suffered your loss and some good book and website recommendations, as well as some information to maybe help those with a friend or family member that have just suffered a loss.

I hope that you are able to obtain some helpful information or strength from looking at this blog. The Bump Loss Blog

Cherrycobbler - I just want to say thank you so much for doing this. I am sure a tremendous amount of work was put in, and you did a wonderful job!

This is absolutely amazing.

As strange as it sounds b/c I see our names on here everyday and we have all talked so intimately reading things we all wrote just stopped me dead in my tracks. It was like someone shook me and said yes, you all know, you are all together and you all are doing something good out of all the bad that has happened.

I think this blog is amazing, it is going to help so many people and I am glad that so many of us are a part of it and you ma'am did so awesome with this. I know it had to take up alot of time. But you did wonderful, you should be so proud of it. I know your angel must be proud of you for trying to help other mama's out there.

Thank you for doing this. AMAZING...JUST AMAZING.

I put the address in my siggy, but I don't know how to make it clicky : (

I figured that way if people see it the siggy they could just click it...but it won't click. Will there be a clicky icon at the top of the board?

Thank you so, so much for this.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad that you all like it. If you feel that there is something you think is important enough to add, just let me know. I tried to just touch on some of the basic stuff. I think we all know that in the beginning you don't know where to look for anything or even what you should be looking for. I hope I was able to put in enough basics to help everyone a little bit.

And yes pottermommy, the plan is to stick it at the top of the board.

I read the blog over the weekend, and it think it's great! I wish I know all of this before I "needed to know", if that makes sense? I almost feel like everyone should know what to do when a child is stillborn or lost too early. I had no idea that I would later want her ashes or photos or hand and foot prints.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

Thank you soooo much for making this--it is awesome! I wish that I had these resources when I was CTT, and I know that it is going to make a world of difference for those just entering this journey.

This is absolutely amazing.

I can only imagine the amount of time and effort it took. You put so much care and thought into it. I know it will be a huge help to all new loss moms. Thank you so much for doing this.
