i wish i could meet you and find out some of that stuff.

maybe one day.

your babies are real to me. maybe even more so than my own baby was. i'll try and explain that on my blog one day.

i'm so glad you made it to the baptism.

Awesome post. Awesome. I feel your honesty in it all. I agree that it isn't fair that others can move on with life without understanding where you are.

Have you ever read Kate Inglis' speech from the Glow in the Woods benefit? It really moved me when I read it. I am sure you would enjoy it as well.

I hurt for you.

I just found your site through the dooce community (my username is elizabethgrace). I've never had children so I've never experienced your joy or your profound loss, but I do know what it is like to lose someone you love immeasurably. I can identify with what you write about and I'm sure many other people can too. I hope you continue to write on this blog, and I hope your words help you heal just as writing has done for me.

The trip you describe sounds really hard. And while I haven't been where you are, honestly, the feelings/denial you're having sound normal, too -- but also very difficult, because, ugh, reality. I hope you're able to find the support that you need, here or IRL (or, better, both).

I think that no matter what kind of loss you have, no matter if it is a newsworthy tragedy or private tragedy, people move on and they stop talking about it . They also see that you are doing better and don't want to take you back to that place by bringing it up.
When I was in high school, we lost my 3 year old brother in a tragic drowning accident. While my family still suffers, it is rarely brought up by anyone else. This is definitely annoying because I sometimes think, did they forget that we lost our little angel? Are they so insensitive that they think we are over it?
No, I don't think they are insensitive. I just think they care about us so much and want nothing more than for us to be happy. There are though, those few who stay with us and acknowledge our pain. Those are the ones we cherish.

We all know that it's hard to find the "right" words to say but to say nothing and not aknowledge someone else's loss is disheartening. While I did not get to experience all that you did with your babies, I do have grief every day for what could have been. I have a scripture in my office that says:
Rejoice in our suffering, suffering produces perserverance, perserverance - character and character - hope....Romans 5:3
Hold on tight sister. I know it doesn't feel like it but you will get through this.
Sending big hugs to you.

I'm sending lots of {{hugs}} to you.
