I almost wish I didn't have those images and memories. It keeps me awake at night and wakes me up in the morning early.

But I just wanted to stop by and say I'm so glad you have a friend who is there for you to help you through your grief. And a friend who actually UNDERSTANDS what it's like. It's such a huge comfort to have understanding and empathy. *hugs*samshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196929017759174547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615402011672156774.post-21204489576064514692012-08-25T22:57:58.472-07:002012-08-25T22:57:58.472-07:00Your necklace is beautiful and I hope it brings yo...Your necklace is beautiful and I hope it brings you some comfort in these dark days.

I threw mine away, because I couldn't handle it, but now I very much regret that I did that. One thing that keeps me comfort is knowing that I was a mother for those 9 weeks. Many many hugs to you.

I cherish the necklace that I have with both of my baby's birthstones.<br /><br />And I do think your friend is right. While I never got to see my last baby on an ultrasound (alive), I have other mementos of my very short pregnancy and I hold them close to my heart because they are the only proof I have that this baby ever existed. And I will probably always talk to my daughter about the baby sibling she never got to meet. Sometimes I think how much easier it might have been if I had never gotten pregnant at all -- and yet I find it impossible to regret my pregnancy and my child. After all, he brought me nothing but happiness for all the days of his short life. I love him for that, and I hope eventually you can find comfort, peace, and healing in similar thoughts.<br /><br />Thinking of you always! ~ hugs ~Cassie Dashhttp://waitingtoexpand.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615402011672156774.post-71600179429745932262012-08-24T12:53:01.507-07:002012-08-24T12:53:01.507-07:00All of this brings up so many strong emotions in m...All of this brings up so many strong emotions in me. The necklace is beautiful and I'm glad you've found a wonderful way to memorialize your daughter. There's so much truth to what your friend said: as much as those images hurt now, there will come a day where they will be a source of comfort and a reminder of your daughter.<br /><br />For now, put those images in a safe place. If it's too painful, ask your husband to. In the meantime, focus on healing. As much as it doesn't feel like it, you are making progress every day. I see it with each post. <br /><br />Thinking of you and continuing to hold you in my heart.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615402011672156774.post-8798678968998148222012-08-24T12:48:25.024-07:002012-08-24T12:48:25.024-07:00The necklace is beautiful.

But I do think there is a lot of truth to what your friend said. As hard as those images are now, in time they will become something to treasure. I know I have stuffed away my ultrasound pictures but I will not throw them away. Because that is all I have left of my child, a child that I desperately loved. When things are less raw I know I will want to remember. Believe it or not, I think you are doing great. You are a source of strength for me, because whatever I'm feeling I know you are too. We will get through this.

I always see those images, one in particular of the third baby I lost waving and kicking...ten days later still and motionless. It haunts me too, but I will try to embrace it and that baby. Thank you..and I love your necklace. .Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466534455000388745noreply@blogger.com
