Grief Support w/o 5/28 — The Bump

Grief Support w/o 5/28

This is something I really need and thought maybe other ladies would need something like this too while on their ttc journey. I posted this in another area and based on response here, we could make this a weekly thing. This is a thread to provide a safe space of thoughtful conversation and support for those who have lost family, friends, significant others, etc. No trigger warnings need to be added in here unless you really feel it's necessary. 

**This is a general trigger warning that death, disease, bodily functions, and / or loss from suicide may be mentioned in here.** 

Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), who you lost, when you had the loss(es), diagnosis / conditions / circumstances surrounding the loss, etc.

Status (what stage of grief do you feel like you're in this week?):

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with this week? What is going well for you this week? R/R?

GTKY: Two part question. (a) What sort of support system do you have? (b) What do you do to cope with grief?
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

How I feel all of the time.

    Status (what stage of grief do you feel like you're in this week?): I really don't know 

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with this week? What is going well for you this week? R/R?
