6 months ago today

[Mommy of Lydia and Mary]

It was six months ago today that our sweet baby Mary was born. How has 6 months pasted already? How did I get here and how did I survive? Well, I did. I did with the help of my wonderful dh and dd, all of you here at SG, my support group, my family, and some true friends. I talk a lot about Mary and that helps me so much. I am blessed with a wonderful and supportive workplace. I enjoy talking about Mary openly. It is truly beneficial to my grieving process.

Mary, I miss you sweet girl. You warm my heart and bring a smile to my face. I love you so much!

You and I "met" because of our losses and I'm not sure about you, but I never thought I would make it this far, to be honest.

But here we both are...six months later (the 11th is six months for me). Just "hanging on" worked.

I'm thinking of you and your Mary today.

Im sorry for this loss you had. It does sound as you have been able to get through the hard times of it and find the support you have neeeded that has allowed you to carry on in life and that is good. But im sure it does hurt and is very painful. I am glad I joined and will have the chance to know you better. It helps me also to talk of it. It is freeing inside to feel the importance of my child.

so glad you posted

I actually remember the 6 month mark. I couldn't believe that I had LIVED that long with all that pain... and that I was half way to RELIVING it all over again for her 1 year Angel Day. I wasn't working, after having my nervous breakdown. Life was slowly becoming important to me again. Gosh, I guess here I am close to the 15 month mark, I can that I have hope again. I look forward to holding a baby of my own someday, though another child will never replace my first born daughter. Thinking of her still brings tears to my eyes, although there is usually a small smile to accompany them. She did bring so much joy to me in the small time my body held her close.


Thinking of you and your sweet Mary~

Born too early, gone to fast,
But our love is strong,
And our memories will last.

The sixth month mark was almost numb to me....It was almost the point where it still didn't seem real, and everyone had stopped calling totally, and no one mentioned them anymore. It was a real weird time, I remember that. After almost 3 years for my son, and just over a year for my daughter...it all seems like it never happened. All I have are the few things that I was able to bring home, pictures, and the scars to remind me that it was real. Odd huh? That is just how is seems to me.
Have a peaceful 6 month angel day...
