My dark cloud of anger and pain



Anger floods over me today as I near the date of my first baby shower. I hate that she is gone. I feel so angry... I don't understand it at all! I don't even want to leave the house today. I need to go to the grocery store and I am in desperate need of a hair cut...plus I work the next 3 nights in a row, so I need to get things done! I am simply angry. I am also exhausted...I slept all night and the morning away...and I am ready to go back to sleep. I wish I could motivate myself to clean, get dressed, go to the store, do some laundry and maybe even work on some packing around here. (we bought our first home!) but I am just too sad, too angry and too tired. Will a ray of light ever penetrate this dark cloud of pain?

  1. Sorry for your rough day! Like you, i really need to get my hair cut too! I hope the zone diet works well for you...its been two months for me on my eating program and its been hard but worth it! The first few weeks will be the hardest, but if you get through it and see the results...you will feel so much better!

  2. Kate,

    I'm sorry that you're hurting so much. I can't even imagine. I wanted to pass another blog on to you - http://whenhellomeansgoodbye.blogspot.com/

    The Kate in this blog has gone thru something similar, she lost her little boy at 20 some weeks and has been thru quite a bit since. She shows that while the whole situation sucks and seems completely unfair, you do get thru it and find ways to honor your little one while still moving on with your life.

    I'll be thinking about you:)

  3. I'm so sorry. I posted several entries on my blog about that nasty cloud above my head. It would stop me from being motivated. Try to be patient with yourself. I know there are things to do, but you are a grieving mother. Just be proud of yourself for getting out of bed each day...the rest is extra achievement. My thoughts are with you as this painful date approaches.

I can't believe it happened to me!

Sometimes I am in complete awe that we have a baby. I am so in love with River and I feel very fortunate! River is a really good baby; She eats great, sleeps well, smiles tons and is easily comforted when cranky. I am really happy to have her here. On the flip side, I am learning all of the beautiful things I missed out with Zoe. Bath time, reading books, cuddling, smiling, cooing, bites of new foods, so on and so forth...the list could go on forever. I still battle with postpartum depression, but I do feel like I am coming out on the other side. My sad days are fewer apart. I still feel terribly guilty that I battle depression. We have tried so long and so hard for a baby that it seems selfish of me to be sad when we have a perfect baby in our arms. HOWEVER, it's not the kind of thing I can control. I still have a lot of depression related to nursing. It hurts me that it didn't work for me...sigh. But, River is super healthy and growing well and at the end of the day, SHE is t...

Breastfeeding or bust

Since the moment I was pregnant I knew I wanted to nurse. I love the idea, I love the thought of holding my baby skin to skin...I love the concept of nourishing my child and watching her grow. Immediately after River was born, my BP dropped when they were stitch me up (i had a 3 degree tear). So when she was wide awake I was not feeling so wonderful. I tried to nurse during that time, but it just wasn't happening. We were able to get a good latch at the hospital...but my nipples were bruising and man-o-man did it hurt!! BUT...it was what I wanted and everyone tells you breast milk is best. Once we made it home, we had an appt with the ped the next day. River was losing weight...normal for a nursing baby. So...we went back 3 days later for a weight check. Still not gaining weight. The doc told me to nurse every 2 hours...to wake her up if I needed to. Okay...I can do this! Back to the doc...still LOSING weight! At this point I had been calling the lactation consultant at our...
