My Mother's Support

Mumma2B · June 2013

As difficult as this is I am fortunate enough to have a very supportive Mom. She had 3 miscarriages and 4 children. She know's what I'm going through. It's encouraging to hear from someone who has been there.

I told my mom that I'm having a hard time moving on. I just fee like I should be missing a hand or something much more obvious. I just need to get moving again but I find myself paralyzed.

This is what my Mother said:

Things ARE different [ even if they don't look it ] and the lost feeling will last for a while. You have lost someone and for a mother it is ihard to move on, but we do. Life continues to move and demand of us. Time does heal wounds. You will always wonder who that little one would have been. 30+ years later I still do every once in a while.

That is lovely. It's so hard sometimes because I feel like people who haven't experienced it and sometimes people who have just don't understand. like they just don't get that even though you never met your baby it's not something you can ever forget. The loss is no less great than any other loss. Some days it may be harder because you never even got the chance to see who that person would have become.
Thoughts and prayers go out to you for your loss. I'm so glad you've got someone you can relate to do easily!

I'm so sorry for your loss. What your mom said is very sweet, and it must be very comforting to have her by your side and understand what you're going through. That is something I have struggled with, no one seems to understand the overwhelming sadness, emptiness, and loneliness I am feeling unless they've been through it themselves
