This Catholic ministry also welcomes bereaved parents of other Christian denominations, bereaved parents of other faiths and bereaved parents of no religious affiliation who are struggling with the very notion of faith.

Comment by Keshonna Coleman-Matthews on July 8, 2010 at 10:57am: I am not sure how to get through the loss of a child either. All I can tell you from my experience is to be open and honest with God on how you feel. I have learned that it is okay to cry and not to try to be the strong one all the time. Hope this helps, but in the meantime, I will pray for you and your family.

Comment by Janet Brungardt on May 21, 2010 at 4:38pm: Praying for you Karen!

Comment by Ellen Gable Hrkach on May 19, 2010 at 4:00pm: Prayers for George and for you, Karen, and your whole family.

Comment by Mary Kate Dempsey on May 19, 2010 at 10:10am: Many prayers for you and your sweet angel.

Comment by Karen Murphy Corr on May 19, 2010 at 10:07am: Please pray for my George Patrick Andrew, who died (likely due to cord compression) during my labour on May 19, 2009. Marking is one year angel day is very hard.

Comment by Karen Murphy Corr on December 1, 2009 at 2:44pm: Check out this inspired idea by a blogging bereaved mum in the US - she asked if we'd like to do a series of giveaways for other bereaved mothers to share some cheer this holiday season. I was day three and it just occurred to me I should post this here. Any bereaved mothers are invited to leave comments and possibly win a daily giveaway - one a day for 25 days....

Comment by Karen Murphy Corr on October 15, 2009 at 12:32pm: Another link while I've got a few minutes online: A babylost mother in Tennessee carried her baby boy to term knowing that he had a fatal condition and would not live long in this world. In fact, she was told he wouldn't survive birth. She and her husband prayed for a miracle and he did survive birth. Wyatt breathed for a few minutes and looked at his loving mother, Danielle, and his Daddy. Then he passed. But the medical powers that be in her state have deemed Wyatt's short life as "not alive enough." He has been denied a birth certificate. I blogged about Danielle yesterday and invite you to read more and link through to her blog. If you agree that alive is alive (I feel this is a pro-life issue, truly), then sign her petition. She has hope that her state will change the legislation and her baby boy's birth will be acknowledged as a live birth as it should be.

Comment by Karen Murphy Corr on October 15, 2009 at 12:28pm: Take a few minutes to watch this video about stillbirth that was produced in Australia. I found it to be very moving because it's so obviously produced by people who've been through the agony of stillbirth. It is titled, "The Reality of Stillbirth."

Comment by Karen Murphy Corr on October 15, 2009 at 12:25pm: Today, October 15th, is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Tonight parents of babies who have died are invited to light candles at seven o’clock to send a wave of light across the world in memory of our little angels. An Australian babylost mother whose blog I follow posted a very poignant video about stillbirth. I will post a link.

Comment by Abby Sasscer on September 2, 2009 at 11:15am: They are in our prayers Karen ! I checked out their blog. I can't imagine the pain they are going through. Thanks so much for posting.

PS. Glad you like the Moments of Grace vids !
