Hi ladies,
I haven't been on in quite awhile. I recognize lots of you though and its good to "see" you. But I'm always saddened to step back on and see new faces here.
I lost my son Nathaniel in November 2011 to preterm labor/incompetent cervix. I was 22w 4d. He died during delivery. I'm coming up on 2 years and it still feels unreal.
It's very true that grief is like a roller coaster, with hills and dips here and there. Sometimes you're on the upswing, sometimes you're heading downhill.
For the new ladies, it does get easier to manage somehow. You just make room for the grief and it lives with you. My life is not the same. I am not the same. I do have joy, happiness, love in my life. But I am always thinking of my son. I don't fit in with others as well anymore. There is always that sadness.
Big hugs to everyone that finds themselves here.
