Today at 5:47 am makes 6 months my princess is gone. This journey of being an angel mom is one of the hardest thing anyone can go thru. I never been scared of what they future may bring, but now somewhat I am. But for once in my life I am not afraid of dying. Because when that happen, I know I will be with her.
I honestly, dont know if I would try again. For now am jus going thru all of the emotions this bring, while trying to function to a minimum in the world today.

The world is definitely a scarier place after a loss such as ours. No one can prepare you for it. My world became dark and lonely,and I felt as if I was trapped in it for a very long time. It seemed as if every move I made for a while was scary. You definitely have to take it one day at a time. Give yourself all the time you need. Everybody is different in how she grieves, and you may not be ready to try again for a long time......................or maybe not at all. That has to be your choice. My husband didn't know if he wanted any more children after we lost our little boy, but I just needed my empty arms filled and became so desperate to have another one that I couldn't wait. I have heard of some women who are like me and who couldn't bear to wait long at all, and others, like you, who were hesitant about trying again. No matter what you decide it's okay. You're the one who experienced the loss and you are the only one who can decide what you can or cannot handle. Good luck to you and know I am thinking of you!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am taking as long as I need. One person did give me the best advise ever and that was, simply jus follow my heart. I am. Thank you for answering.This group has been a great part of my recovery. Being able to express myself with someone who understands is priceless.

Yes it definitely is priceless to have others who understand. At the time of my loss I didn't have this group, but I did find one. This group is wonderful, and everyone is so helpful. It's a long road to walk alone, but it makes it more bearable to have others walk beside you.

Its being part of a club no one wants to be in. The support is amazing but the fact we need it is heartbreaking. I remember when I hit the 6 month mark. It was the hardest one by far, especially because I already had the tutu I wanted her in for her 1/2 yr photos. I felt horrible because I had to ask for special treatment to be off work that day. The pain is unbearable but know you are among others who have the same spectrum of pain and are always here to lend a shoulder and an ear... well eye :).
