Grrrrr. What I said was: Oh, Kai, it breaks my heart the way children grieve and internalize all the stuff we go through. I have a book called Baby Buddhas that is a book on how to teach children to meditate. I do the meditations with my kids fairly often, and it is always a great time to talk afterwards about what they are feeling. It also helps me meditate. And about your friend, it sounds like you know what you can and can't handle. It is so important to honor that right now. Sending you love, Renel. As always. xostill life angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150141781089602529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095278209647200124.post-52401258558919469332011-09-12T10:01:17.315-07:002011-09-12T10:01:17.315-07:00I'm so sorry (this is my first visit to your b...I'm so sorry (this is my first visit to your blog) for your loss. I have a 15 month old son, and just found out I'm pregnant again... I just can't even imagine going through what you've been through. The thought of it literally takes my breath away. It will take a long time to heal, but you will get there <3 Positive thoughts your way from me,<br />xoxLove + Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03212252415650844647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095278209647200124.post-17091120115642894402011-09-11T12:55:49.438-07:002011-09-11T12:55:49.438-07:00Thank you so much for your kinds words on Cullen&#...Thank you so much for your kinds words on Cullen's anniversary. Reading your words I am so heartbroken for you and the loss of you precious daughter Camille. I remember the early days.. getting my first period after Cullen was born. It is all so surreal.

But, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, you crack me up--"because the lady was a douche!" <br /><br />I remember getting my period after Calla died and not even really realizing it--I thought I was just bleeding again post-delivery. But then I was just kind of in shock--it was as though I'd forgotten how my body was supposed to work after it had failed me so miserably.<br /><br />Thinking of you--be good to yourself as best you can. <br />xoMary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212750107782259674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095278209647200124.post-61580714718310507122011-09-10T19:36:46.988-07:002011-09-10T19:36:46.988-07:00Dear Renel....
Thank you so much for your gorgeous...Dear Renel....<br />Thank you so much for your gorgeous comment on my updater blog and so sorry to hear about your little one. The loss of a child is such an overwhelming tragedy but please know that we're all here for you. Each day somehow gets easier and here to share the journey with you. I'm a little slow with blogging at the moment but hoping to be back on more regularly soon. Thinking of you always and have added you to my private blog list... please let me know if it doesn't come through.<br />Love always xoxoDandelionBreezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988561541523178095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095278209647200124.post-38785031641837598362011-09-10T17:35:07.506-07:002011-09-10T17:35:07.506-07:00Glad your body is doing all it should be doing rig...Glad your body is doing all it should be doing right now. I felt the same when I got my period back. Glad all was back to normal, but pissed as hell that it got it so wrong when it came to keeping the baby alive.<br />I'll be thinking of you as you move towards thinking about another pregnancy, if of course that is what you want. We're all here for you.<br />xoHope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095278209647200124.post-79631301239998774872011-09-09T23:35:48.611-07:002011-09-09T23:35:48.611-07:00Well I want to congratulate you on starting your p...Well I want to congratulate you on starting your period!

It makes sense...Sending you lots and lots of love.<br /><br />It makes sense to me that Kai is experiencing this physical manifestation of all the sadness and trauma that your family has had to endure recently. I am so sorry. And it sounds like you are doing everything you can to help him express his feelings, to feel safe and secure, and to grieve in his own way as well. You are an amazing, loving mama to both of your children.<br /><br />I wasn't able to see any newborns for a good 8 months after Otis died. I don't think you need to feel guilty AT ALL for not being able to spend time with your friend and her baby.<br /><br />xoxosarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15316131078833658090noreply@blogger.com
