You are an amazing person! Thankyou for your blog, you seem to put the things that I am feeling as well into words. I pray that God will grant you and all the mums like me who have lost children peace and comfort and the strength each day to care and love for the children who are with us here on earth!

I came across your blog whilst looking up craft blogs and saw photos of your craft on Flicker.

I am so sorry that your daughter Robyn died.

I read Vanessa Gorman’s book about her daughter Layla, who died soon after she was born. Perhaps you might like to look at her website, as she describes what she went through during her pregancy and the death of her daughter.

I’m not a psychologist but everything that you just wrote sounds completely normal and right to me. All of those feelings seem completely natural. Also, as much as talking about them and writing them down may seem like dwelling on them or prolonging your pain, I believe that it is also absolutely normal to need to do that in some way. You are allowed to be heard. You need to be. You are allowed to have these thoughts and feelings.
My thoughts are with you.

My friend lost her son at 2 hours old, not long ago.

Everything you write sounds like how she tells me she’s feeling. Her biggest feeling now is guilt and of course, as much as we tell her is wasn’t her fault, we aren’t her brain and no amount of hugs are going to change what she is thinking, anytime soon.

Yes, she’s also admitted she needs to speak to a psychologist to work her way through, though I suspect she too, is sick of talking.

I get angry for her when I see these people who ‘don’t deserve’ kids. I get angry at the government who tell her it’s illegal to have gender selection through IVF , despite their genetic disorder being significantly more prevalent in boys.

Only you (and your family) will know when you are ready to ‘move on’ and try for another baby.

I can’t imagine what are you feeling, but I’m very, very sorry. I am sure the psychologist will tell you that you are normal. And I really hope that the talk with him will help you to obtain peace. I know the sorrow will always be within you, like Robyn always will, but you need time to get used to function with that sadness in you.

For what it is worth, it is normal. Perfectly normal. It is one of the many stages of grief you will wander through and backtrack.

But go to the guy. Talk. Cry. Get angry. Let it all out. Or not.

All perfectly normal and understandable.

Thinking of you.

I have no words of wisdom, and I am heartbroken for you. Thinking of you, from half a world away. .-= WarsawMommy´s last blog ..He Ain’t Heavy; He’s My Brother =-.
