Hi, I'm Kim. In 1985, I had an abortion. 

I didn't know it at the time, but this one decision, this one act that I was told would be over and forgotten in hours changed my life forever. That small "surgery" did more than cut out my baby, it cut open my desire for motherhood. 

Seventeen years later, in 2002 I lost my second child to premature labor at 20 weeks of pregnancy. I thought this loss was punishment for the  baby I previously aborted. No one told me otherwise, so I condemned myself. That is, until I found strength through the Bible and the stories of strong women I found there. Day by day, I found the strength to live and love again. Through their  lives, I learned, by faith, that love lived deep within me. 

This website is my gift of love to every mother who has lost a child and has been hesitant  to  talk about it because she is embarrassed, ashamed, sad or overwhelmed with grief. She doesn't talk about it because she doesn't think anyone will understand. She doesn't think anyone will understand what she's been going through. She thinks something is wrong with her. After all, why did her child die? It must somehow be her fault. 

I know how you feel, my sister. I've been there, too. 

You are not alone.

You are not alone!

This is my offering to walk along the path of  life with you. As we  walk together, we let our love for our angels speak through our lives.

I believe that when a woman breaks through the shell of silence that surrounds the pain of child loss, she emerges stronger and more vibrant than before. 

I believe that a mother who's lost a child deserves a voice in society. She has something to say. Her story can change the world. Her story will make others around her sensitive to the preciousness of life and the importance of the love and nurturing many mothers provide daily.

I believe that a mother of a child lost to abortion, accident, adoption, disease, illness, medical error, murder, suicide and war must be recognized as a mother - not awkwardly on Mother's Day or solemnly on the anniversary of her child's death, but every day of the year because she is a strong, virtuous pillar of society.

I believe that just as a woman who has lost her husband is recognized and respected by being called a "widow," a woman who have lost her child must be recognized by a word of  respect that brings significance to her loss and gives immediate attention to her status. This woman must be recognized everywhere as, "Mum."

I believe a Mum is a woman who may not speak out, but by her presence, she is known for her strength and honored for her endurance.

I believe in Mums everywhere.
