I have so much trouble writing and talking about it - unlike the earlier days - as you wrote "the words came pouring out".<br /><br />Wishing that no parent had to live in a world without their child/children.

I understand what you mean about feeling you've lost your voice. It's like the further we get away from their birth/death, the harder it is to articulate the pain of losing them and how much we miss them even though it hasn't diminished any - just changed.<br /><br />Lots of love to you all. xoCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101380791416834049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905396975810102836.post-70397564804585945152013-06-20T15:25:08.228-06:002013-06-20T15:25:08.228-06:00Oh car. So much of this post rang true for me. I a...Oh car. So much of this post rang true for me. I also tie myself up in knots at the school gates sometimes. Especially when the talk turns to pregnancies or 'how many children' or twins. But I can never seem to say anything, it's never the right place or place.<br /><br />I have gone through phases of feeling very lonely. I have always been on the shy side and now I struggle with making new friends or keeping the ones that I have. I was sad for so long and, well, I still often am. But I don't suppose I needed to tell you that do I? And sometimes I just get so fed up of swallowing down anger and bitterness and anything that isn't palatable and acceptable in 'most' friendships that I just give up? Sometimes I feel that I am just lapsing into silence! <br /><br />Apart from in blog comments it would appear. Ho hum. Sending love to you and remembering your dear son, Reid.

I know that feeling of not being able to make or keep friends - I feel like my brain doesn't relate to anybody the same way that it used to. <br /><br />I don't know if Lori-Ann told you, but I felt quite a connection to you at the meeting where we had cupcakes for Reid's birthday. I work a lot, but I am around most evenings if you ever want to do anything. Even just talk. Our birth stories are so similar, and I've not ever actually met anybody in real life who'd been through something so similar before you.<br /><br />Sending you love and support and remembering Reid with you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156015722355587810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905396975810102836.post-84775377009364596642013-06-12T06:53:03.929-06:002013-06-12T06:53:03.929-06:00I'm sorry you feel so isolated.

I do think that as you move further away from grief and it is less raw it is harder to express. <br /><br />This line stuck out to me, "There are people I keep meaning to reach out to, but it never feels like the right time so I do nothing." I remember trying to get in touch with one of my friends, but every time I picked up the phone to call or sat down to write an email, I got stuck. Finally I wrote her a note and said, I'm having a really hard time talking to you. I don't know why, but I value our friendship and don't want to lose it because I can't seem to communicate. Sometimes just saying I'm having trouble reaching out right now is enough of a first step. <br /><br />Honoring and remembering Reid with you today.
