My good friend sent me this link to a brief audio clip about one mother's infant death experience and her photographer. I hope you enjoy it.

Kelly,
You've done such a great job on your blog. Your top photo with the caption "Lightening Strikes Twice ..." would make a perfect book cover! Thank you for sharing your experiences. You are amazing!
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts on my Grandson's Blog...Sage Lawrence Eldredge. I have to say that after looking over your blog that I'm SO very sorry for your loss's. It's scary to think that a person not only can suffer this once but 2 times or more. When I was having children my best friend lost SIX babies! She had three surviving children and we raised our children together. They remain close friends to this day. She, Sharron, would conceive and around 5 months their hearts would stop beating. It was so hard because there I would be pregnant and feeling so guilty and so horrible for my friend. She was in the delivery room when my 5th baby was born...things weren't going well...she hunted down the doctor and demanded he do something. I feel she saved my son's life. She would lose a baby, her milk would come in, and I would let her nurse my baby-she said it helped her heal to get to hold and rock an infant. She is so close to my children because of that and cherishes those memories. I don't know why some people suffer so much but I do know that those babies are Angels and special and there for they must be sent to Earthly Angels---people that are worthy of such a calling---to have the honor of housing and giving birth to one of God's chosen. I truly believe that. God Bless you and your family.
Thank you for letting us listen to such a touching story. It brought tears to my eyes, especially the part when Joanna tried to describe the divinity she felt within the room when she held her son and how she felt the sacred purity of the angel he was and is.
"holding an angel"... gorgeous. i glimpsed an article about the "now i lay me down to sleep" volunteers and their subjects. it was right after you lost claire. my girlfriend, who is a photographer, had it on her dresser and as i thumbed through it, i just cried and cried. the images are beautiful and everyone involved in the project- the photographers, the mommies and daddies and the babies- are all angels. what a wonderful story.
Thank you for sharing this audio article. What a great mom and her little angel. Such a neat lady that took her pictures. Can feel so much love... I send you lots of love to your family. Ale
