NICU Moms

I saw this and wanted to share with all the NICU moms. Past and present NICU moms.

I am one of them. And those emotions and feelings of heart break havent left. I often find myself crying with the memories of having to leave my little one every night. Although his stay wasnt as long as others, it still hurt.... ALOT. Walking away at night was the worse feeling ever.

Hes been home now! Healthy and growing so fast. But the heartache is still there. The memories are still there. The silence is there as well. The feeling of not being able to talk to someone about what YOU as a NICU mom is feeling is still there. ‘Everything is going to be ok’ or ‘hes alive and healthy’... yea i know hes ok and alive... those words... ughhh how many times did i hear them. Im grateful hes alive and healthy and now home with me. But those memories are still there. Those feelings havent gone away. I as a NICU mom of a preemie havent been able to overcome those emotions and heartache. I dont know if i ever will.

To those NICU MOMS out there, you arent alone. Hope these words can help someone feel slightly stronger.....
