Gone but Never Forgotten

Gone but Never Forgotten

When someone dies it is easy for us to lock our memories away, thinking that it is just too hard to talk about them anymore.  Often times, we tell ourselves that it didn’t happen and that they are just on a very long vacation…a vacation that they will never return from.  We can never tell ourselves that we will never see them again because we cannot believe that its true. When someone ... Read More »

Preeclampsia: What It’s Really Like

  Don’t you love when someone points out to a pregnant woman that she looks “terrible”? Who do they think they are telling you that you’re swollen, puffy, look tired, or even that you look “painful”. I think people who aren’t, especially those who have never been, pregnant say these things as if it’s somehow comforting for a second or third trimester pregnant lady to be reas... Read More »
