Nichole and her photo of a Woman of Strength

Please welcome back each of our calendar bloggers as they join us for another week as the featured blogger of the week (FBW). This time they are sharing stories of survival and photos of the strong women in their lives. If you want to know how you can be a part of the Blogger Body Calendar project, please click here.

Please meet my beautiful and remarkable friend, Jessica, a woman who has been dealt tremendous heartache, but whose strength never fails to take my breath away.

The tagline to her blog, Four Plus an Angel, tells the barest part of her story … “life after loss – with one teenager, two surviving triplets, and a rainbow baby.”

Jessica is an amazing mother, a woman who describes herself as “the mother of four living children, and the mother of one who is not.

The loss of a child is unfathomable for most of us, but Jessica suffered this unspeakable loss and has gone on to show that grief and happiness can truly co-exist.

For me, strength is about more than surviving. It’s about finding a way to see the beauty around you while never forgetting all that you’ve lost.

Her grace and strength inspire me to be even more appreciative for all that I have.

To learn more about Jessica and the loss of her precious baby girl, Hadley, please read A Touch of Life, Today, and Thoughts on Thanksgiving.

Much love to you, Jessica.

Nichole, Ms. March, authors in these small moments, her blog about finding meaning and beauty in the ordinary moments of parenting, of life.
