That's the title of my blog post today....
I don't have the heart nor the energy to retype my feelings, but I'm really struggling today (here's the link if you want to read it https://themistylife.blogspot.com/2012/04/bittersweet-holidays.html).
I haven't cried in...well...I don't remember the last time I cried. But today, I couldn't contain the tears. I had a very ugly shower cry ( I cry in the shower to muffle it from DH). It both hurt and felt good at the same time. I just miss Logan extra today...the ache to the core kind of miss. I just needed to tell someone who understands....
*hugs* to you all today!
Re: Bittersweet Holidays
Sweetie - I am so sorry. I just read your blog entry and while I see hope and happiness for your little girl on her way, I understand the sadness of missing your little boy. As you stated, holidays will always be bittersweet - every happy occasion will always be a reminder of the babies we lost who are not with us.
Hugs

Your post was beautiful. I am in tears. I know what you mean about "bittersweet". Nearly every day is like this for me, but especially the holidays. I'm not pg w/ my rainbow yet, but I do have my DD. Watching her grow is so amazing; she brings me so much joy every single day. But she should have a baby brother right now. She should be growing up with him.
Easter was actually a pretty good day- we were camping. We did the egg hunt for DD. We picnicked at the lake & then drove home. It was a good day... but not the day I imagined. It's not at all what it should've been. We should've spent the day at home w/ DD & her 4 or 5 week old brother. I should've been nursing him, playing w/ her, taking cute pics of the 2 of them together.
It is weird creating new, good memories that should've been other, different ones. Bittersweet to say the least.
