I am 2...Everything you wrote about here is spot on. I am 21 months out from my loss and I still get so anxious over going out or meeting with people. It is not as intense as it used to be, but still there. Last night at a work out group I had to introduce myself. I could feel the panic rising as my turn got closer. Those places where you have to give your life story in like 30 seconds are the hardest for me-tell them about Caleb or don't? Say how many kids I have or leave one out of the mix? Babyloss is so exhausting to navigate. I am glad you had good friends to care for you and listen, those are precious. Praying that your heart feels peace as you approach the 9 month mark.

You are doing a great job of an unthinkable task. You are going through a grief process and it doesn't feel good, it doesn't make sense, it is something you should not have to do but you ARE doing a great job! Keep crying and keep missing your baby boy. It is healing for your heart even if just one small step at a time. <br />Sending lots of hugs and love for both of you!Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07364903312771500120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418370942689142295.post-54123007137656952132013-01-09T09:31:12.350-06:002013-01-09T09:31:12.350-06:00I think what you are going thru is so normal. I ju...I think what you are going thru is so normal. I just think people don't talk so freely as you do about the inner-workings of their minds as they go through something so traumatic. I mean, technically, you could even call it, post traumatic stress disorder. You have gone through a very traumatic event. People go to war and see things that they never should see or experience. Same with you. I have had anxiety by going thru huge changes in my life. You have gone thru a very huge event that noone should have to go through. I think honestly, you handled it amazingly. You are doing amazing... as amazing as a grieving mother can be. You are grieving for your baby the way that's natural to you. Taking it one step at a time.
