Book Description
Life is difficult. Losing a child is the worst thing that some people will ever have to endure. You've been through something that will forever change your life. And even though you are a child of God, and you pray and ask God for guidance, it's not a sin to seek help from professionals. When we talk openly about our angel baby, it's not that we want others to feel sorry for us or feel uncomfortable. Just because our child died doesn't mean that we are not proud of them. We still have the desire to uphold their memory by saying their name and sharing our stories of what little time we had with them. We are still proud parents, regardless of what others think. Follow Stephanie Basco Sullivan, author of My Heart Shaped Womb and the creator of the Facebook page, "Mother's of Angel's," as she shares a continuation of her poetic, heartfelt posts with other parents, offering compassion and inspiration for all who grieve the loss of their child.

Moms Go Where Angels Fear to Tread
Author: Joan Wester Anderson
Publisher: Ideals Publications
ISBN: 9780824947811
Category : Motherhood
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
New York Times best-selling author Joan Wester Anderson, in the tradition of Erma Bombeck, shares funny, wise, wacky and faith-grounded experiences of family life. Hysterical one minute and touching the next, the book's bite-size chapters contain hilarious personal stories and observations about the everyday experiences of motherhood that culminate in unexpected insights. Joan Wester Anderson uses humour from her own life to help make sense of a mom's everyday chaos and has readers laughing out loud in the process. Joan tells stories that run the gamut from the day to day high drama of trying to do too much in too little time (balancing kids doctor appointments, car repairs, pre-vacation planning and her own part-time career) to trying to find a life beyond motherhood. The truth can hurt (the first party I ever threw as a newlywed was so dull that even my husband left, Joan admits) but sometimes it can set you free as in the free therapy of monthly lunch dates with fellow mums. What else can you do after you have talked the children out of a dog and instead get a low maintenance gerbil which immediately gives birth to 14 baby gerbils! This is a delightfully funny and touching read that will inspire you one minute, and have you laughing out loud the next. For every woman, mother-to-be, mother, grandmother, and anyone who had a mum.

Damaged Angels
Author: Bonnie Buxton
Publisher: Knopf Canada
ISBN: 0307368599
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
An adoptive mother writes the book she wishes had been available -- sympathetic, up-to-date, useful, hopeful and highly readable -- when her family welcomed a little girl not knowing that she struggled with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). When Bonnie and her husband adopted Colette, she was three years old. Big for her age, she had walked alone at eleven months, had excellent verbal skills, a thick mane of curly blonde hair and a sturdy little body. They were thrilled with their gregarious second daughter, a great sister for six-year-old Cleo. But although Colette was bright and delightful, a litany of problems soon presented itself. By the time she hit first grade, her parents were coping with her frequent stealing and lying, and her learning difficulties, which necessitated special education. At the age of fourteen, she discovered drugs and sex; by eighteen, in spite of the love and support provided by her adoptive family, she was a crack addict living on the streets. After seven frustrating years of consulting numerous therapists, a TV item gave Bonnie the answer -- and sent her on a quest for diagnosis and help for her daughter. In general, our society has little compassion for those thousands of individuals whose damaged brains lead them to crime, homelessness and addiction. Few realize that they behave as they do as the result of brain damage caused by their mothers’ drinking during pregnancy. FASD is Canada’s most common, most expensive, yet most preventable mental disability. FASD can be beaten, but as usual, education is key. This book is a tool that could help the 300,000 Canadians currently affected by FASD, and reduce the number of babies born with FASD in the future. -- FASD is a new umbrella term that includes Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND) and Partial Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (pFAS). -- FASD is caused by women drinking alcohol while pregnant. -- So-called “moderate” drinking can do considerable damage to the fetal brain. -- Individuals with FASD may seem normal, but their damaged brains can result in learning disabilities, impulsivity, lying, stealing, tantrums, violence and aggression, inability to predict consequences or learn from experience, lack of conscience, and addictions. -- FASD is the biggest single cause of intellectual impairment in most industrialized countries. -- Research indicates that a high percentage of homeless people, and at least 25% of juvenile and adult offenders suffer from undiagnosed FASD. More than 50% of individuals with FASD will experience school drop-out, trouble with the law, addiction, and unemployment. More than 90% will experience mental health problems. -- The general public, not to mention many professionals, know very little about either FASD or the fact that no amount of alcohol in pregnancy has been established as safe for the fetus.

When we allow ourselves to embrace both ordinary and extraordinary experiences, we can feel the divine anywhere.

Woven throughout the narrative are poetry and rants, as well as ruminations on her mother’s wit, wisdom, and passion. In Practically Divine, Becca shares how to live a life that’s practically divine by: Redefining old lies and stories, to learn from the past Appreciating the gifts that come from imperfections or trauma Using creativity to spark new revolutions Accepting the chaos of the unknown before us with courage Sharing in a feast of love, knowing there’s enough mercy and forgiveness Embracing the practically divine compels us to do something, anything, to share in the feast of love together. When we start from wherever we are, we can recognize the potential for humor, wonder, and freedom. Practically Divine teaches you to use your senses to transform information into holy compassion.
