The times I've felt most alone in this process I've had to remind myself I'm not really. And your answers have just reaffirmed that for me. thank you so much for taking the time to do this.Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376651134993450207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5729691681948373476.post-34903269890018504662009-01-08T13:36:00.000-05:002009-01-08T13:36:00.000-05:00Ah, Kate, yes, I understand what you're saying, an...Ah, Kate, yes, I understand what you're saying, and yes, this community helps. But looking back, to the first two, three years of mourning, I didn't have this blog, didn't have this online community. So part of me will always feel like I did it alone, you know? In terms of our families not knowing what to do, in terms of being one of very few women I knew who had lost a baby. It's the familial silence that gets me, that hurts the most, when I want to share my grief with them, but know I can't.<BR/><BR/>And yes, the online company has been wonderful...but sometimes I want the face-to-face comfort that very few people around me know how to give.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965042538225388563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5729691681948373476.post-70784524718292368422009-01-08T10:43:00.000-05:002009-01-08T10:43:00.000-05:00Virginia, thanks so much for doing this.

I'd say the same thing, but then there's this community, others like me writing and sharing and it's not silent at all. It's kept me sane and heard and understood. I hope the same is true for you.<BR/><BR/>Here's to a new kind of company, eh? Best to you, and light.sweetsalty katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822876211091242851noreply@blogger.com
