Putting it all out there

Poppy715

I don't remember who it was but someone posed a few weeks back that their steps to recovery had included journaling. I've spent the past few hours pouring my heart out. I've never liked keeping a journal before. It felt weird and unnatural writing down silly details of my life. I want so badly to remember everything I can about Addison. This is what has lead me to keep a journal.

I wish so badly now that I had kept one during pregnancy. I was even gifted a WTEWYE Pregnancy Journal but didn't start it. I basically slept away my whole first tri. I know as time passes my memories of Addie will become foggy. Even though the recent events and memories of her are painful to remember I still don't want to forget. I have so many good memories of her too. My husband and I talking about names, the reaction from our parents when we told them we were expecting, even knowing she was going to be a girl almost instantly. I don't want those memories to fade away. Even if I only look at that journal once after it's written it will be worth is. Her legacy and beauty will not be forgotten and that is what is important to me right now. 

Has anyone else found a way to preserve their little angel's memory?

That sounds wonderful Mresneau! We have a few photos up but I haven't finished her Shadow box yet. Maybe I will work on that today since I have the day off! I've been putting it off for a long time but it would be nice to have it done and maybe surprise m

I'm journaling too. I have one for my older DD, for my son and now for my rainbow. The funny thing is, I still find things to add to his journal even though his life is over. He still go

I have copied and saved the original post that I had on the pregnancy lost board. I've been slowly over the last few days editing and transferring it to a blog in a series of entries. So far I've only shared it with my husband, and now you ladies (in my s
