When Saul passed we received so much support and love from family and friends. I remember every Friday while I was on maternity leave I met some friends at Starbucks. It was their thing but the invite was extended. I met a woman, in this group, that had lost a baby years before. She was quiet about the past. I remember seeing her other two children by her side and not understanding how life could blossom in such a way after going through something so trying.
I remember being told by my doctor at the time, the nurses, and other aquaintances that I was young; I will have more children. Yes, that was true, but that is not what I wanted to hear at that time in my life.
My cousin lost a baby and joined a non-profit organization named "Angels Among Us" which is an infant loss support group located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I read what the organization was about and contacted the owner to find out if there was a chapter in Austin. She said no, and was very excited to hear from me.
We chatted the other night and I have decided to begin a chapter of the organization here in Austin and surrounding areas. I am so excited. Go to http://www.angelsamongusla.org/ to find out more about the organization. I will let you all know when I have the chapter started here.
My long term plan is to open up a foundation in Saul's name for donations in order to assist families with financial help with bills, funeral costs, etc.
Please let me know your thoughts. God Bless.
