Finding Happiness in Tragedy
I've noticed that this little community is very very sad... And I realize it's because most of the women in this group are still grieving a fresh new loss. I remember those days. When the world was crashing down every time I tried to breathe and nobody understood. I felt like everyone wanted me to just "get over it" but I couldn't! My baby was dead. I couldn't be normal. I couldn't be happy. They say that everything happens for a reason and while that's true, when it comes to child loss, you have to discover that for yourself, not have it told to you by others. They say that time heals all wounds, and I'm telling you as an angel mom for two years that time does heal this wound too but the problem is what to do while that time passes ever so slowly.
The pain doesn't really go away, it just gets different. It becomes a part of you that's almost comforting really because while the rest of the world is moving on, too afraid to ever mention your baby, that pain is still there for you in your heart reminding you that your baby isn't here like they very well should be. But I want you to stop blaming your body for failing. You did not fail. Instead of focusing on how awful it was that your body didn't hold your baby long enough, thank your body for holding onto your baby for the short time that it did. Your body may not have made it to term, but it did create that precious life and that is amazing. Don't think about the things your child won't be able to experience, because your child experienced so much! Your baby knew unconditional love, your baby knew warmth, and your baby knew safety. Your baby wil never know pain or fear or anger. That makes me feel better. For all my child knew was happiness. I run a support page on Instagram and there's so many amazing women there who would love to talk to any of you who are feeling hopeless or are at your wits end.
