Sleeping Angels
Too Beautiful For Earth
On July 20, 2015, my
grandson, KAI LUCAS CORLEY, was born sleeping.
Before that day, I had
no idea that one in one hundred babies are stillborn in the US. Those
statistics are startling and in no way detract from the pain of loss, but they
did open my and my daughter’s eyes to a need we as women have to connect and
share our stories of life, love, and loss.
Surviving the BIG Mistakes and Consequences of the BIG Mistakes were in edits, and Learning from the BIG Mistakes was being written during this sorrowful
time, and I struggled with leaving certain elements of my character’s past in
the story or keeping the backstory as it was. Right or wrong, I try to keep my
stories based in reality with all the blood, sweat, tears, hurt feelings, and
broken hearts…so I’ve chosen to keep the elements intact.
If you have
experienced a stillbirth or miscarriage, my heart goes out to you, because
everyone else forgets, but we women who felt that soul’s presence sharing our
bodies will never forget no matter how many years go by. I would invite you to
share your story on my daughter’s blog.
