Mother's Day

We never thought we would experience the grief associated with the loss of a baby. Well, we are 8.5 months deep in it now, and some days the hurt feels the same as it did the day we found out. Other days are fine, and it's just another part of this life we live.

Then along comes Mother's Day. I really, really appreciated the people who sent flowers or cards or mentioned that they were thinking of me. Not because I felt entitled to the same treatment as all the other people who have given birth...but rather because they still let us mourn our daughter.

It's been a confusing time of wading through emotions.

I'm thinking that the next major holidays, Victoria Day and Canada Day won't be quite as challenging :)
