Thank You To Everyone, Coping with the loss Options

[BabyGirl070405]

I just wanted to post and say thank you to everyone here. Dealing with the loss of my Baby girl has been very difficult and I never thought that anyone would understand what I was going through. My family and friends have been very understanding and supportive, but I never felt like they truly knew what I am going through right now. After coming here, I am feeling less alone. I have posted a few things and the responses have been wonderful. Reading through the other posts, which I have been doing regularly, has really helped. I prayed last night for my Baby, as I have been doing since she passed on the 4th, asking that I would know in my heart that Baby was safe and doing well. I wanted to know she was happy and understood how much I missed her and loved her. This morning when I woke up I felt good..not great of course, but better than I have. I went out this morning to her grave as I do every morning, and told her I was leaving for work and that I missed her and loved her very much, and for the first time, I didn't cry. Everyday when I leave for work I tell my pets goodbye for the morning and wish them a good day. I haven't been able to do that with Baby since she passed. This morning I was able to. I told her to have a great day and to have much fun. I know it has been a very short time since she has passed and that I will still have many hard days ahead, but the feeling I had that she was okay and was enjoying herself was overwhelming...I can't describe it. I am still very sad and at times feel on the verge of tears. I know that I will still cry and feel a great loss, but your posts have truly helped me understand that what I am going through is normal and that I am not alone. Thank you very much for your support. It is very appreciated. Just wanted to let you know....

You're very welcome.

I know when I first joined LS (and even now) it was like my second family. A family that understood completely what I was going through, gave me support and understanding. I'm glad you've found the same thing here.

Hugs,
Kathleen
