Working
Well, I have bitten the bullet. On Tuesday I will be going back to work. Only the one day a week, and it still feels wrong.
I am not meant to be able to work! I am meant to have a 4m old baby who needs her Mum 24/7.
I know that Tuesday will be a day full of emotion and pain. I am sure I will cry when I drop Boyd at child care, and then when I pick him up.
I know one day is really nothing. But I am not even meant to be doing that. We are meant to be ok, life is meant to be normal. Im not meant to be one of "those" people. The ones with the dead babies.
Boyds yelling for me.... ...

I feel your pain
I am sure you have heard many cliches over the last few weeks so I won't add to them.
I lost a son in an accident and his memory is still very much with me. Birthdays and holiday events are the worst time and people who haven't experienced loss will tell you all sorts of nonsense and try and tell you how you feel.
I had 3 children at the time and people even said that it was a pity that it had to be my son as I could have spared one of my daughters. How crass is that? |

Thinking of you all
Dear Michelle, Nick, Boyd & Ashleigh,
not a day goes by when you don't enter my thoughts, but today especially I have thought of you all often.
I hope you found time to sit and reflect, remember, shed a tear or two (or two million...) and smile. Smile that Ashleigh was here, albeit too short a time. Smile that you loved her.
Take care,
Love Shib xx |

Thank you
Hi Michelle,
You don't know me but we have met. I attended a meeting at your house recently. When I knocked on your door I knew nothing of your pain and loss. I stood there with my two year old daughter and my 4 month old baby girl and smiled as you opened the door. I didn't see you again. One of the ladies told me about Ashleigh and I burst into tears. I wanted to go upstairs and let you hold my baby, I wanted to ease your pain because I couldn't imagine it. When I found your blog about Ashleigh and read it through tears, I felt so guilty. I felt guilty that I complain when my baby doesn't sleep properly or I get annoyed at my toddler for not doing something or I fuss and spend too much time doing housework. So I have stopped complaining and getting annoyed and the housework waits for when children are asleep. Now I cherish every moment, even at 2am. When I look at my children I am grateful, so grateful. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope to meet you again one day, I hope it is soon and I will tell you how thankful I am that you have shared your story, your grief and your heartbreak, it has made me realise what it truely important in my life. God bless you and your family... |
