Eventually Will Come Someday: Advice from A NICU Mom

[ashspez]

Hi everyone! My name is Ashley Wright. I am not a doctor, a psychologist or a writer. I am an average first time mom to two beautiful thriving babies...who happened to arrive 14 weeks early. I believe I survived as a NICU mom and am now able to reflect back on the NICU experience as a positive and even special part of our family story because of a set of standards I chose to live by. If you are a NICU mom or know someone that is and are looking for advice or want to share your own visit this link.

I wrote this while in the NICU and a few weeks following as a therapeutic activity and though I would share on the off chance it would help other families out there. What a life changing experience this has been.

thanks mama, this is super helpful and i will be sharing it liberally

congratulations on your twins' arrival and for your surviving nicu with grace intact

(i'm still angry almost 4 years later, but trust that i'll get to a place of grace one day )

one thing is for sure - you never take anything for granted again

Thank you so much! I'm so glad my nicu therapeutic activity may help others instead of just me at the time!!!!...and trust me grace is a broad spectrum!!!!!
