From Tears to Joy 
Although both my husband, Bill, and I had found professional fulfillment in the corporate fast lane, we longed for the deeper personal fulfillment of parenting. So when I became pregnant in December 1983, it felt like a Christmas miracle.

Thank you for this great article which i find encouraging. i live in Malawi Africa and as a christian fell pregnant out of wedlock. i had the support of family and boyfriend and close friends but i wish i had a network like Nurturing Network. I miss being part of a loving network as i soon found out despite my submitting myself for discipline, no one wanted to waste time on me. By God's grace i am still here and have a beautiful daughter but i wish there was such a network for the next person and me too I think.

A great article and what a wonderful way to honor your little girls' memory. I lost my first two babies and out of those losses, I began a ministry to other women who lose their babies. I give counsel and also send free healing packets. I've been privileged to send packets all over the world, including New Zealand, Australia, England, The Philippines, Mexico, Jordan, South Africa and Indonesia as well as the States. God never wastes our pain if we give it to Him. I'm wondering if you were able to have other children?
