Tomorrow will mark three months from when my life changed forever. The day we found out our first born baby died. The day after will mark three months from when she was silently born in to our arms, 40 weeks and five days in to my beautiful pregnancy.
I have been reading so much in the last three months. Snooping around, reading about other mamas, other babies, other losses.
And I guess I finally thought the time felt right to start my own page, to share my own story.
Sadly, my story is not unique. If I've learnt nothing else in these last three months, it is that I'm not walking this path alone.
Stay tuned for more from me as I navigate my way through the utterly crazy and sometimes scary world of blogging. I feel strange to be putting myself out there in this way, but right now, I will try anything to make myself feel better.

Dear Sally,
ReplyDeleteI am so blessed to have you as my friend. I want you to know that I will walk down this road with you whether you have a blog or not.
Hope would be so proud of her beautifully brave Mama.
Much Love to you,
Carly x
Sally,
ReplyDeleteI hope the blogging helps you the way it has helped me.
I like the tattoo of Hope. I am thinking of one as well. Where did you have yours done?

Sally - I was so excited when I opened my computer this morning to find, you. Your baby, your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou are ready, that is obvious to share your story and soul. We are here to catch all the pieces and hand them back, so you can put them back together, mostly.
xoxo
Welcome to the club that no one wants to join. Together, we walk and hold each other up. I have found that this is the place where I am understood and I can work through my grief.
ReplyDeleteI love your daughter's name, and all of the reminders you have posted on your blog - I plan to get a family ring myself.
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your baby girl Hope. She was beautiful. There's a good group of people out here, I am glad you found us, although I hate why you are here. Please hang in there, and know that you have found a supportive place.
ReplyDeleteSally,
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad to see that you are writing. It has been very healing and cathartic for Lani and I, and I hope(!!) you find some solace in the words and thoughts as they fill this space.
We will be reading along and thinking of you, your husband and Hope every day.
Much love
Chris
