I am now officially a mommyblogger

kagranju — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 20:59:29 +0000

I’ve been blogging about being a mother for oh, about eight years now. Maybe closer to nine years. So you would think that I would have earned my official mommyblogger badge by now. But I haven’t. Why? Because there is one iconic mom-blog topic that I’ve never written about…’til now.

kagranju — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 17:03:36 +0000

In my latest post at Babble, I am taking a hard look at my inability to see clearly or soon enough that my child had a serious problem that required serious attention.

Losing one child while welcoming another – it’s complicated

I am trying to figure out how to grieve Henry, my first baby while still opening my heart to the new baby who will join our family in only 3.5 weeks. It’s a complicated tangle of emotions, as I wrote in my latest blog post over at Babble.

Goodnight Moon

I’ve never, ever believed in Hell – the traditional Christian version of Hell. I am a Universalist (although I am a repatriated Episcopalian by actual practice as of a year or two ago).

Based on that belief, I can’t count how many times I’ve said something trite and predictable about some dead person or another now being in “a better place.”

But it was all theoretical until now.

Parenting in the rearview mirror

As I try to make sense of the fact that I am sitting next to my half-conscious teenage son on this, the 31st day of his hospitalization after a drug overdose and assault, I find myself flipping through my memories of how we came to this point. That’s what I blogged about over at Babble tonight.

Balancing optimism and acceptance

kagranju — Thu, 20 May 2010 12:48:54 +0000

I’m trying to figure out what to say when people ask me how H is doing, and that’s what my latest blog post over at Babble is about.
