Dear Readers,

When I started the blog, I only had intentions of writing and posting content about 1-2 times per week. However, when I started writing, new content was being posted about every other day. Since the start of November, that stopped; I have posted much less.

The clocks turned back, the holidays are approaching, and I’m starting to hit a new low point.

My blogs have all been pretty ‘sad’ or ‘teary-eyed,’ at least from my perspective lately. Currently, I have had a hard time writing about what we went through with Archer in the hospital.

Losing a child is traumatic. To some, that sounds dramatic, but trust me, it’s not. As we approach the holidays, I feel like every piece of my broken heart gets further crushed. Theo and I are trying to figure out how to ‘do’ the holidays and not get fully engulfed in the sorrow and loss. We are trying to figure out how to best remember and celebrate his life through it all.

I’m keeping myself busy by painting (for Etsy and a Maker’s Market), and Theo has even started to help me out. Using our hands keeps our minds off the pain we feel regularly.

I’m pretty low, but I will be okay.

The blog posts will be less regular during this season, as we are just working to make it through every day. Prayers and encouragement have been beyond appreciated, and we ask that you please don’t stop!

I love you all so much!
Brittney
