Been here since April...but only on the baby loss thread.

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Just wanted to expand a little. I guess I am finally ready to do that, or at least, I am trying to be ready. I homeschool 4 of my five living boys, my eldest is working towards getting accepted at a university after a traumatic brain injury almost 2 years ago. He is a 19 year old who is an artist, bonsai sculpter, and was a gymnast before his accident, he is also bi-polar. My 13 year old is a banjo fanatic, and is starting to learn the bag-pipes. My 10 year old is an animal charmer and math lover. My 8 year old loves to draw and read. My five year old is learning about magic tricks and loves his pet ferret.

We lost our twins this spring...it has been very hard for me to find myself again.

I am working on a book with my husband, who is an artist, musician, therapist and author of "Being Ourself", which was released two days after our first twin was stillborn. I also have a blog that I started after the second twin (that noone knew was there...) revealed himself a month later with major hemmoraging...http:reflectionsofabutterfly.blogspot.com I am also an honor student in the pre-med department majoring in psychology and biology. I am highly interested in alternative healing, trauma work, midwifery, yoga and attachment parenting.

I hope to make more friends here...the baby loss site has the most amazing woman and it's been so helpful to have their support.

welcome! I've read your loss threads before, but since I've never experienced it, I figured it was mostly best to keep my mouth shut. I had no advice, but thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Glad you're ready to branch out a little

Thank you for sharing about your children. They sound so unique and wonderful! I am sorry to hear about the loss of your twins, and am also glad that MDC provided support for you during a painful part of your journey. I look forward to seeing you on some of the other forums and hope that you will continue to find support and community here.

I am very hopeful, in part, because this is an easier way for me to talk to others right now...not in person...but...authentic just the same. Thanks for the warm welcomes....
