Blog postMay We All Heal has been a very big part of my journey since Tapio died. It has been a month to reflect, a month to take time to focus on my journey as a bereaved mother and a month to write on a daily basis. Some days I have more words to share than on others.
Today is Mother’s day in Finland. This has been a hard day for me since one of my children is not with me.
This is my take on today’s prompt.

Blog postHow I learned to live again
Life was good as I was driving home on December 31, 2019. As I drove down my street I saw a fire truck behind me- not uncommon as we live close to the main fire station- and thought, “My gosh, someone’s New Year’s Eve is not starting off well!” I was sending positive thoughts to the family that called the fire truck only to find out that the fire truck was coming to me…
The rest of that evening went something like this: First of all, my aunt d -

Blog postTina’s personal archive
These days my mind wanders often. It wanders to places from my childhood, to the feelings of warmth, safety and comfort. Spaces filled with love. The memories have been flooding me. The ones that have had no entry for decades.
For the majority of the time, I feel strangely at peace in this current situation. I also feel prepared and equipped. The loss of my son has somehow left me with this coping mechanism to be able to work with what I can and w -
Blog postEvening sun (Image credit, Tina’s personal archive)
Some days I need to make a balance sheet. Draw a line. Do a recap in order to see where I am and what I have achieved in the last 3,5 years since I have lost my son.
It’s interesting, how the count starts then. Of course there are things that have been ongoing for a longer period of time, but his death was the turning point in so many ways.

Blog postIt’s been 11 years since Aubrey and Ellie died. Because I’ve spent more than a decade writing transparently about the reality of grief and healing, I am often asked to speak about my journey. I’ve done hundreds of talks ranging from sharing the details of my personal story to deeper topics like God’s goodness in pain or if everything happens for a reason. I’ll admit, I love to take on the heavy topics as the cornerstone of my healing has been to omit the cliches and misunderstandings about gr

Blog postTomorrow morning, at exactly 12:01, my first baby would have turned 10. Ten years feels both like a lifetime and yesterday all at the same time. Somewhere along the way, numbness and shock turned into surviving. Surviving into a dark sadness that sucked all the colour out of life. That sadness into pure unadulterated anger. I got a lot of flack for anger in grief (especially as a Christian), but I don’t regret it, and if you’re grieving I don’t recommend you conform your grief to anyone’s e

Blog postMy
daughter, Lilly, died 11 years ago at the age of 20 months from a rare
mitochondrial disease. In addition to a small trunk of her belongings, I kept
several of the plants given to us at meaningful times in her short life. These
plants were given to us when she was born, the first time she was hospitalized,
and at her memorial service. This February,
I accidentally killed all of Lilly’s plants. It was one of those rare, gorgeous
days in the mi -
Blog postDear Friend, Family Member, Professional or Personal Supporter for Bereaved Parents Today, the first Sunday of May is International Bereaved Mothers Day. You haven’t heard of it? Then read the next paragraph explaining it. If you know about it, skip to the next heading.
Bereaved Mothers Day? Carly Marie Dudley originally created this special day in 2010 to honour and celebrate the mothers who carry some, if not all, of their children in their hearts rather than their arms.
