Counselling
I had my first counselling session on the 3rd May. It was a horrid experience and I hope that I never have to talk that woman again about how I am.
I wrote a letter of complaint to her boss and to the national office. I am appauled that I was made to feel as if my co-sleeping with Ashleigh in anyway was a factor in her death.
I did nothing but love my baby - and do what I needed to do to get through each day. I made an informed choice to sleep with my child, and I would do it again. BECAUSE i know it wasnt a factor in her death.
Nick and I have talked again about me falling pregnant again - we are both happy for it to happen any time from now, at least then I will be due a month or more after the one year anniversary of Ashleighs death.
I miss my daughter - I miss her everyday. Every mother and daughter I see makes me miss her more and more.

Oh my gosh Michelle,
I am sooo angry for you. That woman should be fired to make you feel that way.
You are correct ~ in a safe environment, co-sleeping is believed to be beneficial to the infant (SIDS rates are very very very low in co-sleeping communitites).
I am so glad that you are in a place to be able to push her comments aside and not take them on board.
I think of you often xx |

Your Daughter is Gorgeous!
Your Daughter will always be your Daughter and she is very special and gorgeous indeed. I do not know what its like to loose a child you hold in your arms so that pain I can not share with you. But I lost my 3rd baby to miscarriage on Feb 12th 2007 the same day I found out I was pregnant that bight while my fiance was at work. And it did hurt alot. Like you I am from Adelaide. We are still trying but I am not pregnant yet. I do have one child of each to be thankful for but we would love to have a sibling closer in age to our youngest Locke as Lilike is 3 years older then Locke.
I made a Memorial Page in my miscarried angels memory here:

I'm horrified
On behalf of myself and all other good counsellors and psychologists out there I am truly sorry you landed a horrible one. I clicked on your blog when reading on EB. I hope you are having a good day today.
Regards,

Heartbroken for you
What a piece of filth that woman sounds. The very person who is supposed to help you deal with your grief, instead she added to your pain.
I think of you and your family often after hearing about Ashleigh's sad passing.
So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. |

Mothers Day
Thank you Michelle for your comments to me on EB. I have read through your posts and remember those feelings. The what If's (what if we hadnt have gone in the car that afternoon) the pain you feel seeing other babies the same age as ashleigh would be (or Toni would be).. the pain of councilling... the remembering little things and mostly the acheing in your heart and arms to hold your precious child.
Your kind words have made my mothers day just a little less painful and I hope the love of your family, friends , son and online friends have made your Mothers Day a special day of remembering the love you had for Ashleigh and the Unconditional Love she would have had for her mummy...
Love to you, Friend on this hard day.
