Kids handle grief better than I do

in Late Term and Child Loss

So the woman that watches DD (has since she was 3 months old and who has become a great friend) just sent me a text that said that she didn't want to upset me, but wanted me to know that DD and her daughter (who are the same age and best friends) go to the play room and pretend that they go to heaven to see Annabelle. It made my cry, but more tears of joy that she can go play with her sister. My DD is so much better about saying Annabelle's name and talking about her. When I do, I end up in tears. I hope to get better at doing this.

 

BFP #1 12.24.07 - DD born @ 39w1d on 08.26.08
BFP #2 08.04.11 - DD born still @ 37w3d on 03.25.12

    I love that story!  I honestly believe that children are not as jaded as adults and can therefore continue the connection with our lost babies.

    What a beautiful story!  I had a moment like this yesterday with my 3-yo niece.  She was talking to our puppy and said "Carson, do you miss baby Gary?  You do, don't you?  I do, too!"  Truly brought tears to my eyes that she can talk about her feelings about him without being sad or upset.  Just honest. <3
