It really does mean a lot to me. Needless to say, I am having trouble sleeping tonight. Having told so many people (my parents, my SIL and BIL, his parents, etc.) the shock is starting to wear off and the extreme pain is setting in. I keep looking back at the past few weeks trying to see if I may have done something to cause her death.
I am sure some will say it isn't as bad as losing an already born child, but I cannot imagine feeling any pain worse than what I am feeling now. It is the most terrible pain I have ever felt. I truly do feel like my heart has been torn out. The image of her motionless on the ultrasound screen just keeps going through my mind.
I just can't imagine having to go through labor and then not having a baby to take home with me. We have also been disucssing having a priest there, if we want to have a small funeral (just us and grandparents), if we will hold her, etc. Horrible things to be having to think about, I tell you.
My DH is having a terrible time also as you can imagine. He, especially, struggled so much with his faith when Garrett was born, and he is going through the same thing now.
Bradley (my 12 year old) is not dealing well either. He has been crying most of the night. Brittany understands, but I am not sure she really knows what it means for the baby to be dead. The other kids don't realize yet.
Anyway, I don't expect you guys to read all this or respond, but I think it will help me in some way to type it all out. Thanks guys.
