Project March - Angel's name

So, SOBBS is doing something pretty cool and they are coming up with these "healing" projects every month this year.  For March, it was a challenge to create your child's name, in any medium we like, take a picture of the creation and share it.  As grieving moms we love to see our child's name written out - in print, sand, snow, beads - anything really. It helps to validate their existence I think.   Some of the moms started writing out their child's name and then using each letter to describe how they feel about the loss, and I decided to do the same.  Here is what I created for Angel:

The instructions said to "Find ways to carry your child with you, if not in the physical world than in your heart."  I love that.  And I found doing this project does have a healing effect.  It does really help to express yourself - your feelings about your child and your loss, using creative means.
