I was somewhere in blog-world today and stumbled upon a blog post talking about this group, Kaylen's Write to Heal. It is a group of moms that volunteer to write brief cards, letters and words of encouragement to parents who have lost their children. In the past year and a half we have known two different families that have lost their children, one to SIDS and one whose baby was stillborn. Like almost everyone, we had no idea what to do for our friends and did our best to just be there to listen to them, support them and give them as many hugs as we could.

This organization was born out of a friend not knowing what to do when their friend lost their 4 month old baby, Kaylen. Basically, the way this works is that when a mom needs your kind words, you get an email telling you their name, what happened and the address to send your card. All you have to do is write from the heart and put something in the mail. What an amazing way to support each other as moms and women. Check it out and register here if you're interested.
