Welcome to Silver Linings

Sara is one of the best people I know. She always listens. She always knows what to say. She's the one you call when you don't know who else to call. And I'm blessed to have known her for about 4 years now.

I had been pregnant (with my first) for about a month when I told Sara. Five months later, when I found out that my little girl wouldn't survive, Sara was the first person other than family who I called. She helped me talk through things over the next few months and shared her experiences with her 3 previous miscarriages.

Since then, we've (mostly Sara with me along for the ride) tried to help others. Miscarriages and baby loss seem to be a taboo subject though, and we've found there aren't very many places to turn when you're looking for someone or something to help. We're creating this blog to share our stories and hopefully build a place where others feel safe enough to share their experiences and emotions or ask questions without feeling judged.

Looking back we can see the silver linings in our situations, and we hope that as you spend a little time with us you'll find something that will help you on your journey to find yours.
