it's only been a week...

but if feels like it was eons ago.

my husband went into work for a couple hours today so i'm alone and really having a hard time this morning.

i still can't believe they're gone. just writing that causes me to break down. the absolute worst is that my breasts are engorged and i'm incredibly uncomfortable. it breaks my heart knowing that this milk was for them and they're not here to take it.

i wish i could fast forward the next couple of months.

I am so sorry for all you are going through and for your loss! I can relate to "wanting to fast forward the next couple of months". I know you don't know me, but please feel free to pm me if you'd like-- I know for me it really helped to have someone to "talk" to who completely knew where I was as they had been thru it too--(for me, it was Betsy who posts here as well) I hope you have lots of support. Just be kind to yourself right now--it is still super fresh and I'd just say, don't really expect too much of yourself.

As for the engorging, in my experience it really helped me to bind my breasts and put ice packs on them. That seemed to make them not hurt as bad.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please pm me if there is anything I can do--even if just to listen.

Huge HUGS

Sending hugs, I was in a lot of pain when my milk came in and the only thing that helped was to keep them in a tight sports bra and I actually iced them with frozen veggies, which seemed to work better than just ice.
