Our daughter, Lora Beth was a cheerful, active eighteen year old, full of life, full of love, full of hope. The possibility of her not living to fulfill her dreams never crossed our minds. Yet, on May 22, 1999, her life was cut short by an automobile accident when she and two friends were driving to a restaurant for an after-movie snack. No warning. No preparation. No reason.There is no way to describe the pain of losing your own child. Children are expected to grieve the loss of parents, not the other way around. Overcoming the loss of a child is especially difficult, and it seems learning to cope with the loss is more likely than recovering from it.Lora was very compassionate, and always looking to lighten someone’s burden. Even in death she accomplished this, as four people are living today because of her organ donations.We can find no better way to continue her memory and her ministry to others than to provide books, music, and links to other websites to assist others who are on the same sad road we find ourselves on.For Lora, 13 Years Gone – by Jan Hernandez Thirteen years.How can it beThat you have beenSo long from me?The days seem short,The years seem long,And still I cryThe mourner’s song.
I am a mother of two. I have five years teaching experience in the public schools. I became interested in childbirth after the birth of my daughter in August 2006. I wanted to help other women and their partners have the type of experience they felt good about. I began my path towards my birth doula certification through Doulas of North America (DONA) in March 2007. I attended DONA birth doula training in January 2008, where I learned more about comfort techniques, laboring and birthing positions, and how to help a mother and her partner during her birth experience. I see birth as a natural process, one that doesn’t require unnecessary interventions. I also believe that an expectant mother should prepare for the labor and birth of her child through several ways: eating well, exercising, reading books supportive of intervention-free birthing, practicing her relaxation techniques (visualization, breathing, stretching, massage, etc), and practicing her laboring and birthing positions (squatting, hands and knees, lunging, etc). I do believe there are circumstances beyond our control that warrant intervention, and in order to be prepared for these unlikely happenings, it is proactive to be educated about the options available.
