October is pregnancy and infant loss month, raising awareness of how common such loss is and supporting grieving parents and families. It's been a long 19 months since I first began my grief story... anticipating the future loss of my Charis, to surviving my short hello-goodbye moment with Charis, to learning to breathe through my loss of Charis.
I have mentioned grief and peri-natal loss on social media and sometimes I feel as though I have to keep holding back on such post because I feel like it's too "morbid" or "uncomfortable" for my FB friends to bare.
This month, this year, I'm trying something challenging and different by participating in "Capture Your Grief" project that inspires a month of mindful approach to facing grief and healing. I hope to use it as a way for me to explore hidden areas in my heart, that I have been fearful to tread to, afraid of what I might find, afraid of my own reaction. And as I post some of my thoughts, I hope I may reach out to others who are also grieving, or become the voice for those who are silenced and share the similar thoughts and experiences.
