Opportunities for using computers, scanners, printers, apps, mobile devices, and websites.

Book Description
Every memory with your baby is precious, and every baby deserves a beautiful place to be cherished forever. I Love You Still: A Memorial Baby Book was carefully created to hold memories and love for babies taken too soon due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or in their first days of life. Each word and image of this sweet baby book was carefully chosen to be as inclusive as possible for all babies and gestational ages. Professional illustrations by award-winning children's book illustrator Priscilla Alpaugh feature a gender-neutral, nursery animal theme, and the book's secular content allows room for mom to include her own unique spiritual beliefs. I Love You Still combines aspects of traditional baby books with areas for memorialization, with lots of additional journaling space for grieving moms to complete whenever it feels right for them. The book's quality is meant to last, and its content can be revisited for months or years to come. * A beautiful baby memory book, memorial keepsake, and bereavement journal specifically created for the events and emotions that follow miscarriage, stillbirth, or newborn loss * Over 50 full-color professional illustrations featuring a gender-neutral nursery animal theme. Words and images are and carefully designed to be as inclusive as possible for all babies and gestational ages. * Substantial 8 x 10.5 padded hardcover book with Smyth sewn, lay-flat binding. The cover features a soft matte finish with spot UV treatment for subtle shine on the imagery and title. * 64-pages, including traditional baby book sections, prompted journaling, freeform journal space and scrapbook. Example sections include: parents' backgrounds, trying to conceive, pregnancy test reactions, monthly pregnancy milestones, baby's due date, favorite memories and time spent together, memorial gestures, holding the space, scrapbooking, resources, and more. The mission of I Love You Still: A Memorial Baby Book is to cherish pregnancy, remember baby, and honor motherhood. Born and raised in Wayzata, Minnesota, Margaret Scofield attended the University of Arizona where she earned her BA in English with a minor in Family Studies and Human Development. In 2016, while taking time off from her career to start a family, Margaret's dear friend lost her daughter to miscarriage. As a new mom herself, Margaret wanted to do more to help. After she tried in vain to find a baby book that catered to the 1 in 4 women who endure miscarriage, Margaret's purpose became clear. In 2016, Margaret started a business and created the manuscript for I Love You Still: A Memorial Baby Book. Since then, the book has been circulated to over 20 countries, and her story has appeared on news outlets such as NBC News, The TODAY Show, People Magazine, FOX Television, and MSN News. Today, Margaret continues her mission to cherish pregnancy, remember baby, and honor motherhood by encouraging real conversation about pregnancy and baby loss, and postpartum mental health.

Flight of Remembrance
Author: Marina Dutzmann Kirsch
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780983565345
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Now an Award-Winning Finalist in the Non-Fiction: Narrative category of The 2012 USA Best Book Awards, sponsored by USA Book News. Obtain a free 40-page excerpt on www.kirschstonebooks.com. Against the backdrop of World War II tragedy and devastation in Latvia, Poland and Germany and three decades of European history, this true narrative provides a window into the palpitating heart of wartime upheaval through the lives of Rolf Dutzmann and Lilo Wassull-two people fatefully positioned "on the other side." In December of 1939, swept along on a tide of dire necessity and circumstance due to the imminent Soviet takeover of his homeland, Rolf, a young Latvian aeronautical engineering student, flees with his family to Germany, a country fully under Hitler's control and already engaged in a brutal war. While the account chronicles Rolf's pursuit of his technical dream against daunting wartime odds, it is first and foremost a poignant love story that plays out against a panorama of worldwide chaos and destruction. It is also a story of the seen and unseen forces that coalesce to keep Rolf and Lilo alive after they meet in 1940 Berlin, leading them through a chain of cataclysmic events including Rolf's draft into the Luftwaffe and his father's assignment as chief inspector of V-2 rocket production; the bombing of Berlin; the destruction of their homes; their numerous desperate, cross-country escapes from the bombing, the advancing Soviet troops from the east, and other Allied forces from the west; the POW camp hardships; and the deprivation of the postwar years. Despite the immeasurable evil, suffering and desolation of World War II, a synchronistic chain of events provides an uplifting reminder that love and hope may take wing even out of the ashes of life's most terrifying adversities.

Book Description
LOVE EMBERS Unrepeatable miracles—moments in time—captured as a memory..... Memories, triggered by the fragrance of a rose, a lingering whiff of perfume, the musk of a lover’s shirt; the touch of an infant’s blanket, grandpa’s corduroy coat, or grandma’s silk scarf lying forgotten in a treasured chest; a love song; the sight of a firefly weaving through the woods, a butterfly gliding over a field of bluebonnets, a tangerine sky at sunset, a rusty pick-up truck, old photographs, locket of hair... all unrepeatable miracles, LOVE EMBERS, tucked away under protective ash, hidden within our souls, awaiting the opportunity to roll out and rekindle remembrances that wash over us reviving moments in time. Remembrances of love’s first kiss, baby’s gentle breath, summers long past...life’s tragedies and triumphs—all lie waiting for the winds of a dream to fan the flames tall. This collection is at once an ode to the natural world and the beauty and support of family and friends, a life-long observation of time’s passage, and a testament to the power of love until death do us part. Bernhardt’s belief that love is eternal takes us on an emotional rollercoaster of life.
