Success after IF

Tomorrow is the anniversary of my Mom's death...edited...

I know this is a bummer of a post.  And I know I have been more lurker than poster lately...but you guys were so amazing to me last year when she died so I thought maybe I could talk a little about this? 

I still miss her everyday.  And talk about her a lot.  And have sad days.  But I think she is with me.  And I have realized that I am more like her than I ever thought:)

  • I'm so sorry.  I think often about how you had a feeling she was so sick and went to visit and lost her so soon afterwards.

    I can't imagine how hard the past year must have been but I'm so happy to hear you have really used the time in a positive way.

    I saw that you edited.  I think what you wrote before was beautiful.  To continue to grow (on the inside) is a wonderful thing, and I'm sure your mom would be proud of who you've become, especially if that person is a little bit like her.

  • I'm so sorry. This has to be such a hard time for you. Are you able to celebrate her life with a bottle of wine, box of Kleenex and photos this weekend?

  • (((hugs))) Such a tough anniversary. I'm so sorry hon. Remember you're still allowed to grieve - perhaps you could do something in honor of her tomorrow (eat her favorite meal? visit her - not sure if that's possible?). But most importantly, take care of yourself!
  • I'm sure it will be a hard day (as it's probably been a hard year!) I know that I have a hard time in the weeks leading up to the anniversary of my mom's passing (and her birthday, which just passed)

    Many, many hugs to you!

  • Wow.  Has it really already been a year?

    I remember that trip like it was yesterday.

    I am SO glad that you got to spend time with her at the end.

    I have zero doubt that she's with you.

    None.

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
  • Just reading this.  I'm thinking about you today.  I remember this time last year very well.  Big hugs.
    Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.
    LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
    LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
    Life is beautiful!
