Capture Your Grief – Day 7 – Memory

October 7, 2015November 5, 2015 Lori Davis4 Comments

One of the foods I craved while pregnant with Elliot was soft serve twist ice cream. I never really ate it before I was pregnant so I thought it was pretty funny that I loved it all of a sudden. It became a treat for Elliot and me after our prenatal appointments. Ice cream was [...]

Capture Your Grief – Day 6 – Books

October 6, 2015November 5, 2015 Lori Davis2 Comments

Shortly after Elliot was born, I felt compelled to read as much as I could about pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and grief. I received several books from family members. It was so helpful to have those books in the early days, when all I could do was get out of bed, take a shower, and then [...]

Capture Your Grief – Day 4 – Dark & Light

October 4, 2015November 5, 2015 Lori DavisLeave a comment

I think the worst day of my life was when Ben and I were discharged from the hospital and were forced to go home without Elliot. Finding out Elliot had died comes in at a close second, but at least she was still with me in that moment. Her body was still physically in mine. [...]

October 2, 2015October 23, 2015 Lori Davis1 Comment

I intend to live a life full of happiness and love in honor of my precious daughter Elliot Kathryn Davis. I intend to love freely, without paralyzing fear.

Capture Your Grief – Day 1 – Sunrise
