Your 1st Year Angelversary: Letter to Eva
How do I even begin to describe what the past year has been like without you my precious, baby girl? Mommy had longed for, hoped, prayed, wished, planned, dreamt of and visualized you years before God blessed you in my womb. You were my reason for living, my hope, my joy…. my life! How unfair…
Finding Strength Together
Perfect timing for Eva’s one year Angelversary! My story was recently published on The Fletcher Foundation’s website. Matt and Haley Phillips are doing incredible work to support families who have experienced loss due to miscarriage or stillbirth. Their organization offers hope within our small community.

2 Years Ago
I pushed myself to meet a deadline to write today. The seasons are changing and with them my grieving process has recently shifted. Thoughts of my daughter are still very persistent, but I find myself thinking more and more about her father too. Robert Emmett O’Leary, the second subject of my grief. If you don’t…
ForEva Footprinted
October 2020 has been an emotionally heavy month for me, so far. As you noticed in my previous post, I have been dealing with some anger regarding the death of my daughter. There are so many questions unanswered and it is very difficult to deal with at times. Your unyielding support continues to get me…
Coffee and Wine
A new, still despondent, day has just begun. Where is my fucking coffee? Seeing the black and white photo of Chrissy Teigen 2 weeks ago in her hospital robe, IV needle in place and crying into her hands brought me back. No mother should ever have to suffer such an UNIMAGINABLE loss! It is indeed…
Planted on Earth to Bloom in Heaven
I came across the photos from Eva’s funeral and I remembered what a very dear friend told me on Mother’s Day this year. Her mom, Yolanda, had also experienced full-term pregnancy loss, many years ago. His name was Jesse. My friend, Rachel, told me that her mom used to always say: “They [our children in…
Eva’s ‘Womb’mate
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting beautiful, little Maddy Allison last week. Maddy is 5 months old here, approximately 1 month younger than Eva would be. Looking into Maddy’s gorgeous, little blue eyes felt like I was looking into Heaven. She is perfect! 💗🙏🏽 It took me 5 months to find the courage to…
I will Live, Laugh and Love
I first heard the phrase “Live Laugh Love” from my vivacious Aunt (Titi) Elaine. I believe every family has at least one Elaine, they are the life of the party. My Titi’s presence was truly like having a ray of sunshine shine on you; she was that breath of fresh air. My eyes are filling…
When thoughts become action= My Very First Blog!!
The inception of this site came to me about a month ago. My amazing cousin, Dominique, encouraged me one night to start journaling my unrelenting thoughts. I thought I was being doomed to a pen and paper but after much contemplation I realized how brilliant and loving her suggestion was. I have jotted many sporadic…
