wow. I always know when I come to your blog that there will be something real waiting for me. . . something that I take with me the rest of the day (and beyond). I admire your spirit of life – finding the blessings in the midst of your grief and in such a powerful way. Your self-portrait is stunning.

thank you for writing this and more importantly thank you for sharing it. When I went through a miscarrage six years ago, I had a very hard time allowing myself to just feel the emotions without trying to analyze how I “should” feel. The tatoos are beautiful and a great rememberance and reminder.

Mandy, unlike you, words do not come easy to me, but I know that I feel a bit closer to you just by reading yours. I am deeply sorry for your loss but happy that you have found a way to express and release.

Mandy! First Of All Let Me Say Your Tattoo’s Are Beautiful! The Second Thing I Would Like To Say To You Is… I’ve Had 2 Miscarraiges Also. It Takes A VERY Strong Person To Over Come The Grief That Comes Along With The Pain! But Like You, I Have BEAUTIFUL Children And There Happy Giggles! Take Care And Thank You For You Wonderful Stories.

Amanda, i’m so so sorry for your loss. Sometimes, the thing that helps me the most is to remember that when pain carves a deep place in your heart, God’s love can run deeper. Blessings to you and I pray for you a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Mandy, I have never had a miscarriage; I can only imagine the pain. I am glad to hear that your soul has healed over a bit, though I am sure it will always ache for the babies that never fully came.
