I’ve been thinking about how to write this without coming across as the most unsociable and ungrateful person to ever grace the world of blogging. The truth is, I am sure there will be parts of this that make me sound like both; but I can assure you that I am not. I’m just a mother, still trying to come to terms with the unexpected death of her baby. Someone who wakes up each new day with the hope that she’ll feel strong enough to do everything she has planned for that day; and lives constantly under the cloud of doubt that they’ll be days when she simply cannot.

Her Feathering The Empty Nest blog is a way of finding light in darkness, positivity in times of desperation and, hopefully, making a few people laugh along the way.
