I wrote to you th...I'm so sorry for your loss. I wrote to you the first time when you were pregnant again. I called pregnancy after a loss "controlled hysteria", which is what it was for me, at least. <br /><br />And sometimes, parenting after a loss has been that way, too. Our baby was born in 2005 and also should be starting Kindergarten this year, with Brady and all the other children. There are so many things that remind me of her, of what we lost, of what is missing. I don't think people realize that we don't just lose an actual child with everything they are. We also lose a lifetime of hopes and dreams for them. <br /><br />It's hard, and it hurts. And while I'm sorry I'm not alone, because I hate that anyone else has to have suffered the loss of a child, I'm equally grateful to know women out there who will *get* how much I miss my little girl.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667772171360379262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512644569309593651.post-44966275149203118222010-09-01T22:59:26.564-05:002010-09-01T22:59:26.564-05:00My little one would have been going to kindergarte...My little one would have been going to kindergarten too this year. i thought the same thing, so hard - hurts...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968747549748610217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512644569309593651.post-87515834901372456142010-09-01T22:16:40.913-05:002010-09-01T22:16:40.913-05:00So beautifully said through so much pain.
