Cherishing the Journey

Cherishing the Journey Pregnancy and postnatal support when your baby has an expected fatal diagnosis, or passes unexpectedly shortly before or after birth. With much love,

Jennifer

The loving decision to carry your baby to term will undoubtedly be one of the most difficult things you will ever experience. When we found out about Matthew, we were given the option to terminate, but we didn't want that for our son. We wanted him to know that we loved him, and wanted to keep him safe for as long as possible. We believe that each child is given to us by God for a reason, and we w

anted to carry out His plan and give our baby a chance despite the grim diagnosis. There we so many times that I would cry, wondering how I would ever make it through my entire pregnancy knowing my child would die at the end of it all. However, it was the best decision possible for our family, and my time with Matthew was precious. We found ways to enjoy him, make memories and be happy while he was still with us. He taught us about love and true happiness. He brought us all together, closer than ever before. It didn’'t take long before we'’d realized why this precious baby boy was given to us. We started Cherishing the Journey to let you, the parents, know that you have this option of getting to know your baby through your pregnancy. We will provide emotional support and guidance the whole way through your journey, and the difficult time that follows. It is our hope that more parents will choose to continue their pregnancy and get the opportunity to come face to face with their beautiful baby. To assist you with memorializing your baby’s life, we would like to provide you with a memory box full of items that we believe will be helpful to you. Please contact us to arrange for one of these boxes.

To the mother whose arms hold children …

To the mother whose arms are empty …

To the mother holding life in her womb …

To the mother who never had a chance …

To the mother holding on …

To the mother letting go …

To the mother you are ... the mother you need to be ... the mother you long to be ...

Your journey to motherhood … the sacrifices you have made, the grief you bear, the love that is so very real ....

We honor it all.

May you have a gentle Bereaved Mother's Day.

We are so thankful that Brevard received minimal damage from the storm. All shelters closed as of noon today, which means we are clear for our walk!

You may check in between 8 and 9 am tomorrow and will receive your shirts at that time. If you have a poster with photos or a story about your baby (you still have time to make one!) feel free to bring it to hang. Light food and beverages will be served.

See you tomorrow!
