A Shoulder

To all my BLM's out there......I don't understand something. Do you ever feel like you are isolated from others who have suffered a significant loss in their life? Do you ever feel like the only other people who could ever understand how hard it is to get up everyday and continue to try to be happy are other mothers who have buried a child? I see people that used to be a signigicant parts of my life supporting one another. Some have lost parents, spouses, siblings and I see them talking about those losses with one another. I know that these losses are devastating and life changing. I see them supporting one another and I am thankful that they have each other. I am. Everyone of us should have someone that understands us and knows what we are going through. I do not understand why my daughter and my loss is never mentioned. Ever. I don't feel like any support is ever offered. Is it because they don't think because she was two and a half months old that she wasn't significant.......that she doesn't matter as much? Going through this makes me even more thankful for all of the other mothers that I have met that know exactly how I am feeling. So very thankful for the texts, phone calls, facebook messages, cyber hugs that have helped me know that I was not alone when I really didn't think I could go on.

I completely understand this. No one understands. I think people do believe that our loss isn't as tragic because they were babies. It is no different than losing your child when they are in their 50s...I think of you and Tess all the time ((hugs))
