Nolan Eason

At 1:03AM on Friday, March 30, 2012 my first child was born - a son. We named him Nolan Eason. 21" long, 5lb 3oz. He was beautiful and perfect in every way, except that he was stillborn. As we searched for answers to his untimely death, we also searched for comfort. This blog was created as a way of working through my sorrow by trying to find something beautiful in the world each day. Hopefully, along the way it will help others to heal as well.

Day 10: Words

Capture Your Grief Day 10: Words

Putting pen to paper was my first outlet for grieving. It's my best way of communicating my thoughts and always has been. In addition to blogging, I also created a personal diary to my son Nolan. I would write personal things to him that I never shared on my blog or anywhere else. Perhaps I will one day if when I reread them I see value in the thoughts and feelings. Putting words to paper is always raw and emotional for me. Even now, 3 years later, when I sit down each night to write my daily blog for Oct I usually find myself in tears by the end of the writing. But the words are healing and the tears are cathartic.

Today my words are going to be fairly simple and sweet. 

Son

Son sans sun
Rainbow son
Sons

Heavenly son
Earthly son
Sons

Son, son, sons
Son, sans son
Sons
