Introduction
Welcome
to my blog series called a Release From Grief. Let me start with that
I'm NOT an English major or a perfect writer. I'm SURE you will find
mistakes. Try to read the words and meaning of them and understand
this isn't meant to be a famous novel. It's merely my sharing how
I've found a release from my own grief. This method I know can be
used beyond infant loss. I've found ways to incorporate it throughout
all my lives struggles. This bit I wrote specifically with infant
loss in mind.
I've
had two losses myself. I'm not an expert in anything, but can share
with you my experience in coping and dealing with them both. Kaitlin
is our first child. I had a long difficult pregnancy with her. I was
sent for emergency surgery at 20 weeks for a cerlclage (stitch around
your cervix). I was also put on complete bedrest. I spent a over
month in the hospital. At 29 weeks she was born 2 lbs 10oz. Her
health however quickly deteriorated. She had surgery day of birth,
fought infections, and ended up at a point of no hope. We choose to
take her life support away and hold her. She lived for an hour on her
own. Kaitlin changed our lives and made us parents. We did go on to
have another child, another loss and another child. Sage is our
second angel. A blighted ovum which is where the amniotic sac
develops and the placenta do but the baby does not. It's my belief
that a baby did form but stopped before we could see it. As the
fertilized egg separated into baby and placenta/sac, the baby part
stopped moving forward due to chromosome abnormalities. Just like
when a baby's heart stop beating at 8 weeks gestation. My losses
don't make me an expert, but they do make me experienced.
I
truly hope that atleast ONE person can be helped with my words and
that is my goal in writing this. I'm always here to talk at just an
e-mail away.
The first part of the
blog will be released starting on Sage's 2nd Anniversary on July
18th,2014. It will come out a section at time for the next few weeks every
Friday.
