I believe that my angel is watching the world with me, or maybe watching me, and I swear that I feel that babies on this earth can see or atleast sense him. Run away imagination? May be, may be not.<br /><br />Your blog..wow...I hope my husband comes around to read it. Hurting on the sidelines...I wish things were easier for all the husbands out there. Us wives end up being the center of it all...I think everyone sometimes forgets how much the husbands have gone through. We may be physically and emotionally hurt but you all have had to bear the emotional burden while supporting our pain.<br /><br />Hats off and a bow to you, my husband, and all the others hurting on the sidelines.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591029575377888982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500917524867826895.post-80517323824416014992009-04-20T20:35:00.000-04:002009-04-20T20:35:00.000-04:00I know where you are.

But then, I think is this how I would want my son to see me? So if not for you, for the memory of baby.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071927168876473000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500917524867826895.post-69802845330275220592009-04-20T18:33:00.000-04:002009-04-20T18:33:00.000-04:00I know this feeling very well.

It is so hard and I wish I had good answers to that question, but I don't so I keep trying one step at a time. Sometimes it works and sometimes not so much.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661220372372737455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500917524867826895.post-27578576704980920352009-04-20T10:48:00.000-04:002009-04-20T10:48:00.000-04:00I unexpectedly came face to face with a three week...I unexpectedly came face to face with a three week old boy on Friday. It stung, but more so when my MIL and her two sisters made a big deal out of it. Like I was gonna freak and I couldn't handle it, or I was gonna have a public meltdown. Grief is bad enough without the "others" pushing their thoughts about how you're grieving off onto you. Babies. They're so dang cute, and have great power over us all.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602706939281669017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500917524867826895.post-89797951425609458982009-04-20T09:11:00.000-04:002009-04-20T09:11:00.000-04:00I know exactly how it feels to just 'go through th...I know exactly how it feels to just 'go through the motions', in fact, I posted about that same thing a while ago. Sometimes I think we get too comfortable in that place.<br /><br />I hear you about the baby thing too..... it's so , so hard to even look at a newborn right now. Be gentle with yourself. You do what you need to do to cope.<br /><br />Strength to you.Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569964047627902570noreply@blogger.com
