Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Mothers of Angels 2 written by Trisha Faye and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mothers of Angels 2 is the second anthology that pays tribute to a few (of the far too many) children that have left our lives much too early. The stories were written by mothers, fathers, grandparents and friends - trying in one small way to tell the tales about the beloved children and keep their memories alive for just a bit longer.We're members of a club that none of us asked to join. The membership dues are steep - they require the loss of a child. And unfortunately, there's just too many of us in this organization. Ask any of us and we'd tell you that we'd give anything in our power to take our child back and resign, gladly forfeiting our membership. Alas, being powerless to have this greatest wish granted, we do what's second best. We keep living, we keep loving - despite our pain and sorrow. Some days are bleak and filled with tears, and on other days we put one foot in front of the other on our journey towards finding a new normal. Along the way we find some joy, tinged with sadness, as we revel in any chance to share our story and keep our child's memory alive. In Mothers of Angels 2, over twenty authors share their tributes to children who no longer walk this earth. They're gone too soon - whether they never drew a breath in our arms, never learned to walk, never finished school, or never lived long enough to grow into old age. Being your child doesn't come with an expiration date. Once they're grown, driving, and having children of their own, they're still our babies and we still grieve losing them to death.In our grief and despair, we've also learned to lend a welcoming embrace to others as they enter our ranks. We share, we offer shoulders in consolation and share our resources as we step forward and help others learn to live and love again. Come join us as we share our children with you, honoring their memories in whatever way we can. If you're a member of this growing group too, we hope you find some words of solace amidst the pages.In Finding Your Voice Telling Your Stories Carol LaChapelle writes, "...people die twice: when they physically die, and when we stop telling stories about them." This anthology is our effort to keep the memories alive as a solace since we couldn't keep them here with us in life.
Download or read book Fierce Angels written by Sheri Parks and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The &“Strong Black Woman&” has been a part of mainstream culture for centuries, as a myth, a goddess, a positive role model, a stereotype, and as a burden. In Fierce Angels, Sheri Parks explores the concept of the Strong Black Woman, its influence on people of all races, and the ways in which black women respond to and are affected by this image. Originating in the ancient Sacred Dark Feminine as a nurturing and fierce goddess, the Strong Black Woman can be found in myths from every continent. Slaves and slave owners alike brought the legend to America, where the spiritual icon evolved into the secular Strong Black Woman, with examples ranging from the slave Mammy to the poet Maya Angelou. She continues to appear in popular culture in television and movies, such as Law and Order and The Help, and as an inspirational symbol associated with the dispossessed in political movements, in particular from Africa. The book presents the stories of historical and living black women who embody the role and puts the icon in its historical and evolutionary context, presenting a balanced account of its negative and positive impact on black culture. This new paperback edition has been revised from the hardcover edition to include two new chapters that expand on the transformative Dark Feminine in alchemy and Western literature and a chapter on the political uses and further potential of the Sacred Dark Feminine in social justice movements in the United States and abroad.
Download or read book We Band of Angels written by Elizabeth Norman and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1941, the Philippines was a gardenia-scented paradise for the American Army and Navy nurses stationed there. War was a distant rumor, life a routine of easy shifts and dinners under the stars. On December 8 all that changed, as Japanese bombs began raining down on American bases in Luzon, and this paradise became a fiery hell. Caught in the raging battle, the nurses set up field hospitals in the jungles of Bataan and the tunnels of Corregidor, where they tended to the most devastating injuries of war, and suffered the terrors of shells and shrapnel. But the worst was yet to come. After Bataan and Corregidor fell, the nurses were herded into internment camps where they would endure three years of fear, brutality, and starvation. Once liberated, they returned to an America that at first celebrated them, but later refused to honor their leaders with the medals they clearly deserved. Here, in letters, diaries, and riveting firsthand accounts, is the story of what really happened during those dark days, woven together in a deeply affecting saga of women in war. Praise for We Band of Angels “Gripping . . . a war story in which the main characters never kill one of the enemy, or even shoot at him, but are nevertheless heroes . . . Americans today should thank God we had such women.”—Stephen E. Ambrose “Remarkable and uplifting.”—USA Today “[Elizabeth M. Norman] brings a quiet, scholarly voice to this narrative. . . . In just a little over six months these women had turned from plucky young girls on a mild adventure to authentic heroes. . . . Every page of this history is fascinating.”—Carolyn See, The Washington Post “Riveting . . . poignant and powerful.”—The Dallas Morning News Winner of the Lavinia Dock Award for historical scholarship, the American Academy of Nursing National Media Award, and the Agnes Dillon Randolph Award

Through painstaking detective work, she renders both the past and the present in a new light. Band of Angels tells the remarkable story of how a new understanding of relationships took root in the ancient world. Women from all walks of life played an invaluable role in Christianity's rapid expansion. Their story is a testament to what unseen people can achieve, and how the power of ideas can change the world, on household at a time.
