For those who want to help Ally out  

post #1 of 23
Thread Starter 
I am willing to organize something for Ally for anyone who wants to help her out. I am open to any and all ideas. I will gladly arrange things. I think I still have her address from the bead exchange. Just let me know what you all want to do.

I have no ideas, but would be glad to donate to whatever you do.

I know for Amy they were getting her a birth loss kit thingie, I am going to check out the site as I think it might be helpful for Ally as well.

I can send another copy of "Grieving the Child I Never Knew" But again, I don't know if they are religious. This book is very heavy on religion.

I am sure that a book like that would have helpful suggestions reguardless of a persons religious preferences.

Ally and her husband are pretty religious. They are Catholic. I think that book would be fine.

Should we get something for Brandon as well? I know that for Amy they got a toy and a book or something for Ross. Would something like that be good for Brandon as well? Let me know what your thoughts are.

Re: toys for Brandon. I know in the past he had sensory issues with soft toys like stuffed animals and blankets. That was in March of this year, and I'm not sure if it's changed since then. I do know that he loves to help her cook, so maybe some sort of wooden food-type toys? I don't know.

I'm willing to give for whatever we decide on, too.

I will be near a Chapter 11 tomorrow, will pick up the book then.

Goldie, will you be sending this out? If so, will you please PM me your address. I will jump on in the morning to get it so I can mail the book after my OB appt.

I know I am not part of your DDC but would love to pitch in on the kit from EMAB......I arranged the package for Amy and its quite beautiful stuff. Smells wonderful....I am so heartbroken for all of these mamas.

Again, this is not Ally but her sister Steph (damn it if I can't get the freaking page to log out so I can log in : But that's really the least of my worries right now.) I just wanted to say how thankful I am that Ally has some wonderful friends who obviously care a lot about her. For that I thank you.

Just wanted to make a quick note that Bran has tons of wood food, but he loves any and all trucks/cars. Thank you again for keeping Ally in your prayers.

Another wonderful book is Empty Cradle Broken HEart. It has helped a lot of grieving mommas, including me. It is the best I have read so far.
