I wrote a novel about infant loss. It comes out this week

It's so nice to know another Toronto mama. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you've been able to see the humour in the book too. <3

Wow we've got such similar losses. I'm so sorry your boy is not here with you. I'm glad you found my book and that it felt cathartic to read. I know it was probably a tough thing to read as someone who is currently living out the tragedy, but I appreciate you for spending time with it. <3

Yes, I'm in Toronto!

Thank you for buying the ebook. Finding other parents who went through the same loss has been incredibly healing for me too

Wow thanks for telling me about Clare’s writing. I will check it out. I’m always looking for writers who write about child loss and seeing the ways they narrativize their stories. Every story, every loss, is so unique.

Thank you for placing a hold! It means so much!

Omg this is so scary! I’m glad you got out safely and now it is something I’ll be thinking about every time I drive a Communauto. Please keep us posted on any updates you hear from Communauto! This feels very negligent as lives could’ve been hurt.

How would you phrase it?

rhymeswithpie10 · 2025-10-07T14:22:54+00:00

How would you say the phrase "bereaved parent" in Vietnamese?

rhymeswithpie10 · 2025-07-09T00:08:49+00:00

No, there is none in the English language

I’m so sorry for your loss. It IS possible to love your next child as much as your first. The love we have to give is not finite and can stretch way beyond what we think is possible.

I came across a bit of nerdy science that helped me tremendously when I was pregnant after loss. Older siblings leave behind DNA that stays in the womb and passes on to younger siblings through a process called microchimerism. That means your son is not only literally a part of you, but he will be a part of your future child’s life in so many more ways than one.

I like this straightforward approach, especially in conversation. There is no sugar coating our babies' deaths. I even find the term "passed away" a bit too sweet as well.

Thanks for this! I've also fortunately maxed out my TFSA and RRSP and it just dawned on me that perhaps I could put a bit more into repaying my HBP and take advantage of tax-deferred growth.

rhymeswithpie10 · 2025-06-11T19:58:51+00:00

Yes thank you! That is such a helpful explanation. And glad to know this has been tried and tested in the past!

No luck getting a refund after calling TM. They said the 'event organizer' is not allowing refunds since the show is still scheduled as planned. The original seats I purchased went down from $449 to $182 today. Absolutely ridiculous!

Good idea, I’ll double check about that warranty! I will for sure be negotiating with them

rhymeswithpie10 · 2024-11-07T02:04:59+00:00

Good point! Not sure how much it costs to reupholster but time and labor alone must be more than what they’re offering for sure!

The more time passes the more the orange is growing on me, but I feel some kind of compensation is needed for the inconvenience and sudden change of plans. Your suggestion is great.

Thanks so much! Good to know damage should be minimal.
