Keeping the memory of lost loved ones alive

I have no advice to give, just t&p and lots of love.

I have no advice, but I wanted to tell you that I am so, so sorry for your loss. My mom was pregnant with my sister when her mother unexpectedly passed away. She/we have talked about her so much that my sister actually forgets that she never met her. She is very much a loved member of the family to my sister, who is also named after her grandmother. The name Catherine is so beautiful and classic. Sending prayers and love your way.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother I can't begin to imagine the pain you are going through. I don't really have any good advice but I love that you are naming her after your mother I think she would be honored. Take care of yourself and little one I will be thinking and praying for you and your family.

My father suddenly passed away 2 years ago when I was 26... Several months before my wedding. He died in our family home on the bathroom floor infront of my mother and I. It was the most traumatic time of my life. I do not have experience with dealing with this while pregnant but I did have to still go through with my wedding without him. I suggest talking to someone as it helped me greatly. I thought about incorporating his name into my baby's name but I think it would be way to hard for me to do. Take time to heal and process what has happened. You will be reminded of your mother everywhere you go. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I know how you are feeling during this terrible time.

I wish I could offer some helpful advice, but I just wanted to let you know I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm very close with my Mom and could not imagine having to say goodbye to her that quickly. I think naming your daughter Cate is a great way to honor your mother.

I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers.

I wish I could offer some advice. I am so sorry for your loss. May she forever be you and your daughters guardian angel.

Hugs, hugs, hugs. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, and I think that is a beautiful name. I may not have much advice, but I do think that keeping her memory alive will be comforting, and even if its with ensure, protein shakes or the like, any way to get nutrients will help to keep you and baby healthy.

Thank you all so much! I haven't been able to bring myself to get on the computer much since all of this happened. Your thoughts and prayers mean so much. I love the ideas you all gave as well. I have managed to follow up with my doctor, and everything looks good with baby Cate, and I have worked very hard to stay hydrated, fed, rested, and to force myself out of the house, even just to visit with family or grab a coffee. I am however doing my grocery shopping in a town few hours away (it is the next closest Walmart and chain grocery store with decent meat and produce) so I don't have to run into people that I know and will want to talk about it. Unfortunately that won't fly after this weekend, since I will be back to work and won't have the energy to make an extra trip on the weekend. lol. I work in a childcare/Head Start so I have talked to work and asked them to let the families know what happened before I get back so I don't get flooded with questions about where I've been. Pretty much, I am as prepared as possible to go back to work a shortened week next week, and at least just keep myself busy so I am not just kicking around feeling sorry for myself.

Now I feel like I am rambling, so I will just leave you with a final thank you!!!!
