It's been a week

[dinonum]

Sarah June was born a "stillborn" on November 24th. She weighed 2 pounds and 2 ounces and was 14 inches long. I was 28 weeks along and on Saturday last week I stopped feeling her kick.

I'm doing bette than everyone expects, but I'm still really upset. I feel really numb and just uncertain about everything in my entire life.

I got to hold her twice, I had more opportunities, but I couldn't think and I couldn't function and I couldn't bring myself to hold her too much. I think I'll regret that. She was very pretty though, and she looked like my identical twin. I'm told she even had a mole on her face just like mine, I didn't really look too hard at her though.

Nothing feels right, fair, just, at all.

Urgggggh...

I am very sorry for your loss. It is natural to feel numb at first. I recommend a Grief Support Group when you're ready. You may need counseling, too. Grief Support groups can be found through hospices for one place. I feel so bad for you, its a terrible loss. May Jesus lead you through this time and may you start healing. God bless you.

i'm so sorry. i'm tired of telling my story over and over. it's been 18 yrs for me.

i do highly recommend grief groups. get in a pregnancy loss one and keep going. they are wonderful because that's the only place everyone is in the same emotional boat.

i went for many years. at first, for me, then to help others. you will survive this.

Your in my thoughts and prayers.
