Two Tiny Hands  is a Virginia based nonprofit providing support to families nationwide who have lost a child – miscarriage, SIDS, stillbirth and various other diseases, yet they are committed to helping all families who lost a child.

What do they offer to grieving families who have experienced the unimaginable? Families have access to grieving resources via their website or through their loaning library. Siblings are given care packages: stuffed animal, blanket, and a book, “Little Life, Big Life, ” bringing comfort to their bodies and souls.  Parents receive a photo memorial of their child in canvas print by providing the foundation with an emailed picture.

What a pleasure it was to interview four wonderful, inspirational women (Merissa, Leslie, Lindsey, and Karen) today on Joy Radio.  All these ladies, families and friends, have been touched by Two Tiny Hand’s generosity, kindness, selfless hearts and loving services.

Have you had the pleasure of experiencing the passing of a loved one? Did they go peacefully? What were some of their final words? Did they mention someone was present to take them home? Would love to hear your input.

Missing and reflecting on my Pop, my teacher, my hero, my friend today- his 87th.
July 4, 2011

Quoting him, 1986. Looking back, Charlie expressed gratitude for his life. “I
am a very lucky man. I have neat and hardworking children (7) and soon, 20
grandchildren, work I love, and a wonderful life. My friendships are especially
important to me. For a time I fumbled the ball, but they have given me a second
chance and I am grateful. Every day is full of adventure now. And I really don’t
need more than that.”

Happy Birthday, Pop. Miss you. Bet you are lighting the heavens on fire! And don’t worry about me, Pop. I’m never, never, never going to quit! Guess I’m a chop off the old block. Love your Bird-dog, Pattie
PS Would love to hear you sing one last time, “Thank Heaven for Little Girls.”

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism;
the way you play it is free will. ~Jawaharal Nehru
