    Have you taken any new steps towards healing this week? I don't know. Continuing to be healthy. Went to my support group and for the first time didn't feel like I had to go.

    What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal? Keep losing weight. Get pregnant!

    QOTW: What helps to keep you going when things are unbearably hard? friends, family, warm baths, time off from work, crying, journaling, visiting my daughter's grave, talking about my daughter, visit friends, go for rides/walks

    Have you taken any new steps towards healing this week?
    My husband and I went to a grief counselor last week. I cried the entire time and couldn't really contribute to the conversation but it was helpful to get out of the house. We've decided to go every week for awhile and I think that will be will good for both of us.


    What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal?
    I'm going to try to see a few friends this week. It's been really hard for me to see people or talk on the phone so this is a big goal. I'm also planning on continuing to go on walks and be active during the day.

    QOTW: What helps to keep you going when things are unbearably hard?
    My husband has been my rock. Talking to him is the only thing that helps me through the really painful moments.

    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

    Our son was born on Christmas morning (at 39 weeks, 4 days) so it's going to be four weeks on Wednesday. I can't believe it's been a month.

    **DS mentioned***

    Have you taken any new steps towards healing this week? I've been sticking to my New Years resolutions - and have been exercising regularly, which has really been helping me feel better lately.

    What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal? No major goals. Just trying to continue getting healthier.

    QOTW: What helps to keep you going when things are unbearably hard? Writing on my blog, snuggling with my kitties, playing with DS, talking with DH or my close girl friends, praying, listening to worship music.

    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I'm struggling with the fact that it feels like people in my life are ready for me to get over it and stop being so sad. When I say I think l'll be sad forever, at least a little bit, some have made me feel like I am being selfish or ungrateful. That somehow I have to be happy happy happy again, and I honestly don't see how that will happen. I can't just think about Colton and the happy memories. No matter how hard I try, I will always be thinking about how he should have been with us or done this or that, and it is sad that he isn't here with us. I know I have much in my life to be thankful for and happy about, but I feel like this sadness is part of me now.

    Have you taken any new steps towards healing this week? Creating a new schedule for the next few months, as the plan was to be home full-time with baby. Also started trying to find a good counselor to meet with.

    What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal? Try and get physically healthy again. I decided to train for a Short triathlon this summer. I've always wanted to do it, so why not now?!

    QOTW: What helps to keep you going when things are unbearably hard? My faith in God. My husband who is incredibly patient and always ready to help me talk through things and tell me, yes it will always be hard, but that I will be okay and that there will be better days ahead.

    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? We recieved Zedekiah's death certificate finally this week. Cause of death was officially deemed as Sudden Unexpected Neonatal Death. In the comments it stated that baby "sleeping with adult in adult bed" as a condition that may or may not have contributed to death. I was nursing him. He was not sleeping in the bed with me... I just feel frustrated and angry that this is what they put on the certificate. It just makes it so much harder to convince myself that it was not my fault.

    Have you taken any new steps towards healing this week?
    I started back to work. So I'm trying to figure out how that is going to go. I am working a split shift so I will be out of the house from 7-5:30 and spending the time in between at my brothers.  So we will see

    What is the next goal you have set for yourself? Do you have a plan to help achieve that goal? 
    Make sure that I  go to the gym.  I am working on my tumblr, trying to do some research on early education.  I have been debating signing up to do my masters but Im not sure yet.

    QOTW: What helps to keep you going when things are unbearably hard?
    My DH.  He is SO supportive and is always assuring me that we will figure this out. Whether that means we have a baby or not, we will do it.  He is SO amazing.

    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
    I have to test this week, so thats a bit nerve wrecking.  I also am seeing about applying for a student loan for a masters program.

    Hi everyone...hope everyone had a peaceful weekend.  thinking of you all.

     

    Have you taken any new steps towards healing this week? still trucking along...trying to be mindful and thankful for what I have and the time I had with her.

    What is the next goal you have set for yourself?  Do you have a plan to achieve it? continuing to run and work towards running a 10k in a few months...also just getting through my RPL testing right now...AF is due in less than 2 weeks so we will be unbenched soon...I'm starting to get flashbacks again and really anxious.  ughhhhh. 

    QOTW?my DH and just the hope that there is goodness after this.

    What's on your mind this week?just getting anxious about trying again...getting really scared about me continuing to lose pregnancies.  I really want to be hopeful and I want to trust my new dr. but I feel myself trying to control everything once again and being afraid that my RE is going to not do something right.  i guess I am just stressed right now and need to relax.

    @GymSpaz26 - ((hugs)) for receiving Zedekiahs death certificate and having to see that. You are not at fault. So many ((hugs)).

    @marylaurena - ((hugs)) as you get ready to come off the bench. I was having a lot of trust issues with my doctor as well, and I know it can be hard to trust someone else with our children. I will thinking of you.
