22 ways to honor an angel baby
by Melissa Willets posted in Parenting
Almost immediately, somehow, through the disorienting fog of grief after the loss of our baby late in pregnancy, I felt an incredible pull to find the good amid the pain. I desperately needed to channel my heartbreak into something positive, or else, truly, I'd spend the rest of my days on the floor, sobbing. More than that, I was determined that our sweet little one's life would be remembered, always. And, that her life would have a meaning, and a purpose here on earth.
That is how #100daysofCara was born. We sat down as a family and made a list of 100 ways to honor an angel baby we'd named Cara, and who, in her short time with us, had taught us so much. Like how important it is to be in the moment, and never take things for granted. How life should be celebrated, embraced, felt, every single day. And how much we love one another, no matter what. Our list consisted of things big and small, from going to Disney World, to jumping in a pile of leaves. These were all things we'd wanted to experience with Cara. But now we'd have to experience them for her. This list would be a way for me, my husband, and our three young kids to find joy in everyday life, even as we crawled our way through sadness and hopelessness.
Through #100daysofCara, we have also been able to connect more deeply with our feelings about losing her, explore our love for her, and embrace our desire to be happy again, the ultimate way in which we can honor an angel ...
