Team Ramona & Savannah

My best friend Jessica and I are blogging about our daughters and our experience through baby loss over at Team Ramona & Savannah .

There are so many amazing people writing about their children and loss that I wondered if what we have to say and share is even relevant,  but I've noticed the further out people are with their grief, the less they focus entirely on it like they did in the early days.  If we can reach a handful of people who are new to this crazy world of baby loss,  we're doing a good thing.  The best thing about blogs for me has been watching the progression of grief and life in general.  It's good to know that eventually the pain will lessen.  We won't ever forget,  but we won't always hurt so much.

We also want to help family and friends learn how to support these moms and dads in the best way possible.  We know firsthand people don't know what to say or how to react to the death of a baby.  Hopefully we can help break the silence and make this experience less painful for everyone.  First instinct for many people is to avoid the subject for fear of 'reminding' the grieved of their loss, but I can promise you, we are never not thinking of our babies. We want to share resources that help not only mom's and dads, but the people close to them.
