Just wanted this special capture to have a permanent spot on my feed🌲🥰 I stopped this morning to admire the beautiful trees covered in snow, snapped a few photos and caught this orb out of nowhere. Whatever it was it was comforting and peaceful, a deep calm came over me and I, without even thinking, said “Hi Liam.” Then the one orb turned into two (swipe to see), which to me meant my two angel babies have found each other in heaven. Such a simple thing like taking a photo of some trees turned into a crazy profound experience for me. Super unexpected. I’m so thankful for it, the days are hard and sometimes I just feel like the grief will swallow me up, so I’m very thankful for the little, unexpected ways I’m reminded of Liam. It brings some comfort. Anyway, more a post just for me to always remember this special experience. Hi my babies, until we meet again❤️

My toddler gift guide is up on the blog! I went for “want-need-wear-read” and highlighted a bunch of options within that theme - useful/necessary things like winter gear and for play I tried to find “open-ended” toys that will grow with your child. Play is the work of childhood so toys are super important! Hope you find it helpful, head to www.christinecovinoblog.com or click the link in my bio for the post❤️
.
And now something from my mama heart. I look at this photo of Luca and imagine what Liam looked like, their sonogram profiles were exactly the same, like crazy identical, so I can’t help but think they would have really resembled each other. My heart is beyond shattered to have lost Liam and to think that we won’t be giving Luca a baby brother in the spring, but it brings some comfort to know he will forever have his angel baby brother as his guardian angel👼 #liamjamescovino

I don’t feel strong or brave. I appreciate those messages so much, but I honestly don’t feel especially strong right now. I am having major dark moments every single day. Moments where I cry and scream and wallow in my own sadness. It’s so heavy. And as far as speaking out goes, I know not everyone feels the same, but to me I’m just talking about my baby. If I were still pregnant, I would be talking about and acknowledging and celebrating him. Even though we didn’t meet him and he was only in my belly for 18 weeks, it doesn’t make his existence any less real.
.
Sharing some raw and vulnerable thoughts over in stories about where I’m at. I urge you to watch if you or someone you know has experienced a baby loss.
.
If you’ve experienced baby loss: I am so deeply sorry. Your baby matters regardless of when you lost them and your feelings are valid. Know there is no right way to grieve and no “right” time to “feel better.” There is no handbook and no one talks about it which perpetuates the loneliness and alienation. But you are not alone, I know how much this sucks.
.
And if you’re wondering how to support someone you know who’s experiencing baby loss head to my stories. In short, some things you can do are simply acknowledge the loss/the struggle/the shittiness, validate their feelings and let them know you’re thinking of/praying for them. One simple sentence can make a huge difference. I hope today’s chat sheds some light, shifts perspectives and maybe brings a little comfort to those who needed to hear it❤️

While picking out our Christmas tree over the weekend we saw a rainbow cloud in the sky. I feel like they are more rare than rainbows and it was pretty tiny as far as clouds go. Tiny and rare, exactly like Liam. Yes it’s hard carrying on with life as “normal” when your world was turned upside down. The pain is constant, you look for comfort everywhere, but you do carry on. Seeing a rainbow/rainbow cloud seems like such a small thing but it brought us a lot of comfort as we were driving around, searching for our tree, as a family. Our baby was there with us❤️
.
This is just a reminder to whoever needs to hear it: You’re allowed to grieve in whatever way works for you. There is no handbook for grief. There is no set amount of time you will grieve for. The pain doesn’t go away, you just get better at living with it. For me, I want to talk about Liam, acknowledge his existence, and talk openly about what I’m feeling, both in person with friends/family and here on my IG and blog. It’s ok to share what you’re going through, it’s ok to feel the sadness and grief. It means you loved someone deeply. Quote of the day:
.
"Grief, I’ve learned, is really love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot give. The more you loved someone, the more you grieve. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes and in that part of your chest that gets empty and hollow feeling. The happiness of love turns to sadness when unspent. Grief is just love with no place to go." —Jamie Anderson

First snow of the season today, cuddles with my boys and finished up the decorating🎄🥰 I love how this little space came out! We couldn’t do stockings on the mantle this year because you know who would tear them down🤪 So we got creative and threw them on this guy! We have an open floor plan house and this hutch, which is right next to the living room, is now tying the whole space together and it just made me so happy. It really is the little things❤️

I linked everything I could in the @liketoknow.it app or head to the link in my bio for my “Best of Winter Decor” blog post with all the winter home inspo🎄✨ http://liketk.it/2HFX8
