Subject: A little info about this board
In reply to: lynece 's message, "Welcome to a fresh new board! That one was getting very long" on 13:47:58 02/29/04 Sun

This message board was originally started when Parentsplace changed their format and some of us from the Parenting after a stillbirth/or infant loss board,hated the unfriendly way ivillage was becoming. When the main body of the board moved to The parentsperspective.com, Joanne and I decided to keep this board running as a place for LDS women who have lost children due to mainly stillbirth(20+ weeks) and early infant loss. We felt like there was a need to share our religion and beliefs that we couldn't on a "regular" board. We are still small and I'm glad. Although I love meeting new people, I hate having to see anyone join this particular board.

Since this board started, I started working fulltime and so have others here. The board is slow, but I do not mind. I do not need a board of mindless chatter, and I know that support is there when I really need it.

Now please don't take this wrong, but I do not want this to become an open LDS women's forum. There are several of those out there and this is not why I created this one. We as angel mommies have special needs that unfortunately can only be understood or met by only those who have suffered a similar loss. I do not want to, nor should I have to, defend my feelings or try to explain them to someone that does not empathize my(and all of our)pain.

This is not meant to be a debate board of any kind and everyone should feel free to say whatever they are feeling without worrying how it will look. We are not here to judge or be judged and I will not tolerate it here. We are here to support eachother in surviving our lives after our losses and to help eachother parent our surviving children. Please be careful when responding to a sister's post as to not offend her. When we are hurting we need a shoulder to cry on not another reminder that this is all God's will and it is all for the best! We sisters here know the gospel and its eternal plan, we come here to survive today. I have not felt safe on this board for awhile and I need it to be a safe place for me and all of us.

Whew! That being off my chest, I really will try to do a better job of keeping us moving and making sure that no one feels left out. I do appreciate all of you and what you contribute to this board and my life.

Love, Lynece- owner and moderator of the board, but mainly just a mommy missing her angels.
