I used to do that in the very begging - one week, two weeks, then each month on the 25th. But after a while I stopped. I never forget the date Liam was born, but following his absence in calendar numbers was not healing. <br /><br />I do love what you say about embracing the mother you were and continue to be to Caitlin.

I started knitting and pearling after you made sometime beautiful from your pain... and you're right- it's hard work to face this pain and experience more joy than sorrow. Thank you for sharing your heart as always. (and sorry for my random train of thoughts... I just couldn't get the imagry out of my head)Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286068404893748428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947970258738180998.post-62907338252678825922009-04-24T17:27:00.000-04:002009-04-24T17:27:00.000-04:00What beautiful answers.

Thank you for opening your heart and allowing me the chance to read it<br /><br />'-It doesn't get better.'<br /><br /> I believe this.

Few people understand that, evidenced by a comment on my blog today. :) <br />You offer so much strength in your pain, as you navigate through life. I am so grateful that you share your journey with us, always offering insight and hope. <br />And, I don't like the 'angel' thing either. At my Compassionate Friends group, some refer to the date of death as a Rememberance Day. I'm not sure if I like that either. But, I can't imagine liking any term for the day my baby died. <br />Peace, my friend.Mommy (You can call me OM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07330090628350118582noreply@blogger.com
