As most everyone knows, there are two charities that are near and dear to my heart. One is Vancouver’s Food Bank, and leaving a comment on any post on this blog garners them a $1 donation from Jane Photo (with which they can purchase $3 of food for the needy), and the other is Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Today, I am thinking about all the moms who have lost their babies in the last year. This is their first mama’s day, just as sure as if they’d brought their tiny bundles home from the hospital with them.

All of us are holding you today. We haven’t forgotten you, or your babies.

One mom for whom I photographed this year, Trish, bravely shared her story for one of our community papers this week:

Burnaby News Leader

Here is Trish with her young son, Jos:

I have been meaning to introduce folks to little Christa, who was born with a medical condition incompatible with life in mid-March. She was a wee little peanut, about a pound or so, and so lovely and dear. I was fortunate to be able to memorialize her through the organization I volunteer with, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.

Though I am incredibly saddened by the babies who are losing their lives, the parents surprise and move me too. They are so stalwart, so brave, and I am always incredibly humbled by how they face their ordeals. It is an honour to be with them at so poignant a moment, and I hope that the photographs we create together comfort them in the hard days ahead.

I never realized, until I began to work with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, just how many of our local families endure the loss of a baby.

To all of them, I send a wish for peace and healing.
