I have tears streaming from my eyes...tears of sadness for a mother who passed after childbirth and tears of joy for a babe who has many "mothers" now in the community, breastfeeding and loving him.Here is an article about the Goodrich Family and the community of nursing mothers:

Here is a link to a project created by Ina May Gaskin...a project to honor all mothers who have died from childbirth. It's called the "Safe Motherhood Quilt Project"

thank you so much for your sweet comment. from such a tragedy comes incredible kindness; i hope the rest of the country pays attention to the way your community has united to help sweet moses. the story will be in people magazine, this week, i believe.
as for the quilt project, i am honored to be a part of it; ina may gaskin is a true hero and has a vision that i believe can really help people understand that maternal mortality in america has been swept under the rug for way too long.
