Intro / loss mentioned

[kateaggie]

Hi y'all.  Venturing over from GBCN.

We lost our third daughter, Bernadette, just shy of 19 weeks.  I delivered her on February 20th.  She had already passed, but we were able to hold her, spend time with her, and take pictures.  The cause was suspected Turner syndrome.  Thanks to a hospital screw up, we will not have a confirmation on her diagnosis.

I've been doing better the last few weeks, but I feel like I'm slipping back to near constant grief.  I figured joining y'all might help me.

I am so sorry. I'm sure you've heard this but grief really does come in waves. Sometimes you feel like you're doing okay for weeks at a time and then you get hit like a ton of bricks. I hope joining here will help.

I'm sorry for your loss of Bernadette. It's been a little over a year for me and it's still hard. It's not quite as all consuming as at first, but there are still days that are bad. Those bad days come less often now though.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your Bernadette. I agree with the others, your grief will come in waves, some days it will be easier to carry than others, but will be there just the same. Give yourself time, Feb was just a very sort time ago. I'm sorry too about the hospital's mistake. ((((hugs)))

I'm so sorry you are here, but glad you found us. And yes, grief comes in waves. You can be swimming along fine and then something just hits you over the head and knocks you out. Often, I don't even know why or what triggered it. (Hugs)
