TheJewishWoman.org: August 15, 2010 | | Personal Stories: Loss |  | The Bat Mitzvah My Daughter Never Had
By Shari Shizgal
When we walked into the NICU and saw the look on the nurses' faces it all of a sudden hit me that the sign was because of our baby. I couldn't believe it. That wasn't part of the plan. She was supposed to grow bigger and we were going to fly to Boston. I had not really considered the option of her dying... | | Our Lives |  | Growing Up

Being a woman meant making my own choices. Well, here I am, making them. I attended the university of my choice. I studied the field of my choice. I eat the food of my choice in the apartment of my choice off of the dishes of my choice (paid for out of the wallet of my choice with the credit card of my choice).

by Seena Elbaum
Watching an increasing number of my peers and family become ill and suffer in various ways, my sensitivity to and appreciation for all the gorgeous details of life began to grow. I was watching my gratitude for being alive bloom, like sights of a spring morning. I actually began embracing the idea and practice of celebrating... | | The Month of Elul |  | The Gift of Enough
— An Elul Lesson
By Robyn Cuspin
My life is filled with blessings. Yet I can easily pass an entire day focusing entirely on what I am lacking. I can get caught up in small frustrations and spend hours agonizing over miniscule losses... |  | The Jewish Heart
— The Secret of Elul
By Sara Esther Crispe
Only when we turn around do we realize the truth, the inner essence, and then we are “face to face”—which does not only mean that we can finally look at each other, but more so, that we can look in each other . . . | | The Young Poetess |  | Choose Life
By Chaya A.
If it's possible that we can sink so low, then we can rise so high. I like believing in the novelty that everything in life corresponds to the concept of it and therefore to the spiritual purpose behind it... | | The Month of Elul |  | Prayer-Visioning
— Preparation for Rosh Hashanah
By Sarah Schneider
The main work for this time is to formulate our goals, visions, and resolutions for the coming year. We are given hints by G-d regarding what we should pray for, both in a positive and negative sense, by awakening in us specific yearnings and fears... |
