Starting to heal!??Maybe??

crazylee53 - 05:50am May 17, 2009 EST

Hi All- I lost my twin girls on Dec, 28th at 22 weeks. They were big for their age, each over a pound and half- but they were still just too small. They were perfect! An infection caused me to have to deliver. It has now been 19 weeks and I feel like I am beginning to heal. We named the girls on my due date (May 5th)and made it a day to honor them. As hard as it was, at the same time it was kind of healing. I feel like the raw pain isn't creeping up on me as often. I feel hesitant to let myself start to feel better. In my head I know this is normal but my heart is having a hard time with it! I want to feel better but at the same time the pain is what still connects to my babies. Anyone elso out there feeling like this right now? To those of you just beginning this journey, now that each second, day and month does get better (even though most times it doen't feel like it.) Good thoughts to all of us! - Lisa

Oh My Gosh...

I"m so sorry your sister is so ignorant(no offense) but we are all mothers here. My son was stillborn and I did question whether i was a mother still and thanks to the support of my share peer I know and belief that I'M a MOTHER. I hope you continue to write, share is a great place. Families here understand your pain and know how hard it is to losse a child.
Thinking of you
Trish

when i read your response and what your sister had said to you, i couldnt even comprehend why anyone let alone your own sister would say something so hurtful, not to mention thoughtless. but i think you know as well as anyone with half a brain that a woman becomes a mother the day she finds out shes pregnant. its actually really hard for me to wrap my head around some of the things people say. but i am happy that this poem helped you, i love it too! it makes me cry everytime i read it, but i think i need that sometimes we all do!
