I came across this beautiful mama's blog tonight.
Her pictures, her story, her pain kept me in tears for nearly an hour.
Please pay homage to their sweet beautiful baby that was born still in March of this year.
Thank you, Erin, for sharing Birdie with the world.
in memory of sweet birdie...

Sage Femme,
I've been following her for a few weeks too. Heartbreaking story.
FYI - an incredibly horrendous comment was left on her blog today. Utterly shameful. I don't know how another human - another WOMAN in the profession of caring for mothers - could be so cruel.
Keep sending Erin love. She needs it.
XOXO
I fear that woman got to her blog from me. She left a similar heartless comment which I will not publish.
When people respond like that, it's from their own deep dissatisfaction with their lives and the pain they have inside. Unfortunately, it's taken out on so many others.
I only hope that this woman really does care for others in her line of work - rather than sit in high judgment. I honestly pray for her in many ways.
If Erin reads this, I'd like to have an invite to your blog if possible, now it's protected?

If Erin reads this, could I have access to your blog now it's protected?

I tried to get onto Erin's site today to leave her a comment, but she had to make it private due to the hurtful comments she has received.
Erin, if you're reading this, please feel my hugs and love being sent to you all the way from Chicago. I will not pretend to know the pain you feel right now, just know that I am here for you with thoughts in prayers. I will pray for your little birdie who has grown wings and now sings in heaven. May peace find you and your husband again.
All my love,
Tricia
Sage Femme...thank you for this blog...keep on keepin on...
Sage Femme, thank you for posting the link to Erin's blog.
And Erin, if you're reading, I'm so sorry you've had to protect your blog. I'm so sorry you had to put "No hurtful comments please" in your blog header (I was able to read some this weekend prior to your changing of access permissions readers).
I am so sad to realize we live in a world where a woman who suffers the loss of a much-anticipated little girl must deal with hateful and hurtful comments regarding her birth choices and lifestyle choices. I know we all have our own beliefs and convictions, but where is the compassion?
And I am absolutely floored that most of the hateful comments I saw came from a self-professed healthcare practitioner.
I am saddened and disgusted.
Erin, if you'd please invite me to your blog I'd love to continue reading what you have to say. Just leave a note in the comments in my blog to let me know, if you wish. And if not, it's your blog and your life. You get to invite who you wish.
I hope all the best for you. Blessings on your chosen path.
Erin,
If you read this please send me an invite to your blog.
You've taught me so much about love and life and I'd like to be part of your support network.
All my love,
Tricia
I just came across this post today. I would like to read this mama's post(s) and hope that she is healing. I would love to send her a kiss on the wind...will you, Sage Femme, be that blessed wind? I would gladly accept an invitation to read Erin's blog. If you have contact with her, and wouldn't mind being my voice, please request that she send me an invitation.
Thank you, querida, for posting about her. The photo is absolutely beautiful.
I am a stranger, I came here via Women's Space/The Margins but I wanted to leave my most heartfelt condolences for Erin, and request that I be invited to read the blog so I can offer my support in person.
So her child was stillborn, and they were *mean* about it? I suppose that is why many people wouldn't have shared their stories - apprehension about mean responses - but my bet is that her having talked about it has been helpful to more than one person with a similar situation. So someone should tell her thanks. Or transmit that from me.
I would also love an invite if possible. The photo posted here is stunning. What a brave thing to share such pain with the world. I am saddened that that bravery was met with cruelty.
Erin, I would love an invite to read your blog...if infact you are reading this. My heart goes out to you!
