I've read each comment, but have to confess that this one brought me to tears because I felt EXACTLY the same way as I read through other blogs in the days after we got our diagnosis..."What's wrong with me? Why don't I feel all rainbows and unicorns right now? etc" It means so very much to me to hear that my words have helped someone else and that the painful things I've shared have been for the best. If there is anything I can ever do to help you as walk your own journey, please don't hesitate to ask.

I read all kinds of blogs, but I don't get comfort from the blogs that are full of faith and strength and sunshine. I am happy for them and secretly envious of how they are handling a similar situation. But THIS is the blog that comforts me. That makes me know that I'm not alone. That I'm normal and not less of person. That there are others who grieve the way I grieve and that I'm not doing something wrong. Sometimes this is how we grieve and it's ok. Thank you for posting the things that you were hesitant about posting.

Like you, I know the situations aren't the same but I've found in these last few weeks that no matter what circumstances surround grieving for children we don't have (be it stillbirth, miscarriage, infertility, or birth defect) - the pain still feels very similar. <br /><br />We've been so fortunate thus far to be surrounded by those who love and support us, but there are still those out there who will never get it and should say nothing at all. Unfortunately those are the ones who say hurtful things like "You shouldn't feel that way" or "You need to move on." :( Love ya lady and thanks for letting me know you're there!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798322134554975536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057095120465250887.post-22537763609748633422012-10-28T22:05:30.878-04:002012-10-28T22:05:30.878-04:00Thanks Starla - we definitely appreciate the praye...Thanks Starla - we definitely appreciate the prayers.

Often I was met with " you should not feel that way". Externally I often repressed my thoughts, internally I really thought unless you have been in my shoes do not tell me how to feel. Live & share your honest feelings, it will help to free you.
