About Blog

Miriam Jordan Ferrara was born on December 18, 2017 and lived for 53 minutes before going home to Heaven.  Mira was diagnosed before birth with several conditions that made it impossible for her to survive.  Mira's parents carried her to term with the sole goal of filling her life, both in her mother's womb and in whatever time they had with her after birth, with nothing but love.

As Mira's mother, I created this blog after my husband and I became overwhelmed with attempting to keep our family and friends updated of Mira's condition.  I continue to write, at least for now, as I have found that writing about Mira's life and our life after her passing has been comforting to me.  I also have been told by some people that the openness with which Joe and I have shared our journey with Mira has made them feel able to share about their journey with pregnancy or child loss.  Joe and I celebrate every good thing that has come from Mira's life and we count that as a very good thing.  Grief, especially surrounding baby loss, is often to uncomfortable for people to talk about.  If we can have a small part is starting to change that dynamic, we will be proud to.  As long as continuing to write about our journey makes the subject of carrying to term, pregnancy/child loss, and/or grief easier to talk about or at all more natural to discuss, we will continue to share!
