It's been a minute since I've recommended a good book! This one was too special to miss! ❤️

"Still Your Heart Will Grow" by Aleah Toews is a beautiful and thoughtful book for children who have lost a sibling due to stillbirth. With warm and child-friendly language, this book responds to the questions and emotions that young children may have about the sibling who could not come home, and the love and connection that still endures, as shown through the rituals of remembrance they all share as a family.

I highly recommend this book to all parents trying to find the right words to talk to their living child about a sib who was stillborn, and to anyone who loves someone experiencing this form of loss ❤️ You can get order info at www.stillyourheartwillgrow.ca !

Folks who know me know that Flora's Walk is an event that holds a very special place in my heart. I often reminisce about our first Flora's Walk, a few months after Flora's death, when we were just a few folks in the park trying to join our small powers together in the face of something very, very big. 2025 was the first year that I wasn't a Walk Leader for -- I passed the baton to Stephanie .nesting , Lara and Allie with full confidence that they would do a phenomenal job, and they did not disappoint 💖 (Even when the weather decidedly did not cooperate!)

Flora's Walk is a lot of things to a lot of people. It's a chance to talk openly about perinatal mental health. It's a fundraiser for free perinatal therapy and other services. It's a chance to meet others who have experienced the struggle first-hand. But for me, it also will always be a sign of hope.

Hope that even the deepest despair can be met with love and care.

Hope that compassion and light can be born of immense sorrow and darkness.

Hope that if we add our all our deep sorrows together, perhaps their sum is joy. 🩵💚
