Our first blog....ever.....

Our journey through grief has led us here...

At 7 1/2 months of a wonderful and exciting pregnancy, our baby's movements and heart beat had stopped.  After delivering our silent baby girl, our broken hearts seemed they would never heal.  They are healing but having support and supporting others has been a desire of ours for some time. Coming across different blogs and posts of parents with similar stories, we have decided to begin Vivi's Place.  A memorial for our beautiful daughter Viviana Allison, our first born, as well as a place for healing.  

May we all join hands (so to speak) and share our stories, our sorrows and especially our hopes....

Carly, I can't thank you enough....
