TTC After a Loss

Kentucky Memorial for the Unborn

The state of Kentucky is building a Memorial of the unborn. There will be a bronze statue of biblical Rachel standind is a pool of "tears". The memorial itself will wrap around Rachel in the circular shape of a womb. There will also be a granitie wall reminiscent of Jerusalems Wailling Wall where people will be able to leave anonymous messages and prayers for the unborn children they've lost. It will be the nation's only memorial soley to the unborn at this caliber. I'm really excited about this. They are now accepting donations, inquiries for memorials, and volunteers. However, the artical I read did not mention how I could go about doing any of this. I'm going to do some more research. If any of you are interested in learning more, let me know and I'll update with what I find out. I just had to take a minute to brag about what our state is doing!

  • I can really relate to this Sad

    'Kathy sobbed uncontrollably for weeks, until close friends and a family member insisted that she needed to get over it and get on with her life. When those closest to her didn?t understand the depth or cause of her sadness, she learned to hide it, because she only felt worse when they encouraged her to forget the past.'

  • Thanks for the info!  I'm just a couple hours away from there.  It looks like it will be beautiful.
  • What a beautiful idea.  We go through Lexington when we head to DH's family; we may have to stop  next time to see the progress they are making. 

    Thanks for sharing this information.
