We can walk the path of grief
together. It really is better if we don’t try to walk it alone.
It was surprising to me just how
many people had experienced the loss of a baby in pregnancy, delivery or soon
after. I didn’t know there were so many of us in the same fraternity until I
experienced my own loss. It seemed that no one really talked about; but maybe I
just wasn’t paying any attention. It certainly seemed that as soon as I lost
Victoria, every other woman I saw was pregnant, or all mothers seemed to be
birthing girls. I probably hadn’t been paying too much attention to that
before, either.
For those of you who would like to
connect with more mothers (and fathers) walking the path of grief, I highly
recommend Sara Nelson’s “Pathways” blog on her Sunshine for the Journey
website.
You can access
it at: http://www.sunshine-journey.com/pathways
Sara writes
about her grief journey after losing her adult daughter a year ago. Although
she does not specifically address the loss of babies, she speaks eloquently
about dealing with parental grief. I’d recommend a look.
It’s a reminder
that we are not alone in our pain…
Until next
week!
Blessings,
Andrea
