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?

    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!

    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:)

    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...

Seraching for balance...

Wow...I have been a seriously slacker...again. I write on a private blog for River for family, but I find myself writing on here less and less. This blog helped me heal and grow through my grief...but I also know I am never truly healed. Zoe's loss will always be with me. These days I find myself struggling with balance in my life. I seem to be all over the place. After we lost Zoe I was searching to fill the void in my life. At the time, I thought getting a puppy would help distract my mind...it did. The following year we rescued a second dog. Now here we are with a 9 month old and 2 very high energy dogs. I have an extremely difficult time managing our husky, despite how much I love him. I feel like my priorities shifted in such a huge manner...I don't have the time I once did to attend to his needs. I feel like such a terrible dog owner, but at times I feel like it may be time to find Sawyer a new home. He is such a sweet, loving pup...but his energy level is OFF THE HOOK....
