SO it is 3:09 in the morning out here in Cali and I am still awake. My mind will not stop to let me rest. I just keep thinking how did I get here? SIx weeks ago my life was PERFECT, and now I am grieving the loss of my child. The pain of losing your child can bring you to your knees. There is no other pain like this, and this is definitely a club I never wanted to belong to. Its funny how life's path can bring you to a place that you never knew existed. Anyways, I guess one can become very philisophical at this hour.
For the first time mommies who lost a little one, I believe that we are in a very unique group because we haven't received that happy ending yet... bringing a baby home. We have witnessed the experience of loving something more than we ever could think possible without even getting to look into their eyes or hear their cries.
For the mommies who had little ones before they lost their baby- your pain is just as intense because you know firsthand what your missing out on from experience. The siblings also are along on the bumpy ride of grief and healing.
I guess that I just need SOMEONE to tell me that it will be okay, that it will get better. I just need to have some hope and faith again instead of so much sorrow. I just need someone to tell me that if I do become pregnant again soon, and take that chance, that I will be strong enough to make it to the end. I just need my faith in God to be restored. I think that we ALL deserve that happy ending. I am just so thankful that I have found this site and that everyone here shares my pain that no human being should ever have to share. John Travolta said it best: "Although you cannot take away my grief, you have lessened my burden. "
God bless our babies in heaven

You are not being selfish by feeling. It will be okay, you will never stop hurting but the scar wont be so raw. You will be able to be happy again, a new happy, but you will find peace.
I carry Maris in my heart and I think of her often. She was and always will be my first even if I don't have her with me. I am trying to focus on the future--brothers and sisters, doing things to help others in Maris' name, making sure that her memory lives on and is not forgotten.
Do take care of yourself.
