It is only a few more days until International Babylost Mothers Day (IBMD), which is Sunday 2nd May.
http://internationalbabylostmothersday.blogspot.com/2010/01/about-ibmd.html
IBMD was started by Carley, who runs the 'To Write Their Names in the Sand' site. As I understand it, the day is intended particularly for women who have lost their only child, to recognise them as continuing to be mothers. However, it seems the meaning of the day has evolved and extended, and now it is also a day for women like me to remember myself as Salome's mother, and to brace myself for the painful hallmark tomfoolery ahead the following Sunday on Mothers' Day.
On Sunday 2nd May I will be watching the dawn at a nearby beach with a friend who lost a baby a little while back. Hopefully we will have the beach mostly to ourselves and we can write our babies' names in the sand as much as we want. We might even get some good photos out of it.
