  • Missing Laura

    Tuesday, June 24, 2008 | A Painful story

    Just so painful.  I miss Laura like a physical pain in my body.  She should be here.  I miss her so so much.  Just can imagine how this pain can ever go and how to cope with it.  Have to cope for other family members but she was my baby.  My little girl, I miss you so much Laura.

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Painful story

    I shared during my group session yesterday.  Spoke about feeling disconnected.    Spoke about feeling alone.  Spoke about how I don't feel complete.  Spoke about how I don't see what everyone else sees when they look at me.  Spoke about those voices in my head won't allow me to see life as some wondrous adventure.  Those voices in my head tell m...

  • My Broken heart

    Thursday, November 12, 2009 | A Painful story

    I remember when I first found out I was pregnant, I was so excited. I never thought I could get pregnant for many years. Into my 4 th month I started bleeding some and it scared me so much. Then I lost the baby and I was devastated. How do you get over that pain? I been trying to get pregnant agin with no luck.
