Even if you just write it for you - it doesnt need to be well written or even make sense!<br /><br />its like when you are angry and you want to yell at someone, once you write it all out, it feels better!Nbc91https://www.blogger.com/profile/06914887394493957102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-60808191779764836872013-09-29T21:17:35.053-04:002013-09-29T21:17:35.053-04:00I want to thank you all for your comments.

I went to Mom's grave 2 weeks ago and told her off. I need to ask her something and couldn't.<br /><br /> While we all grieve differently sharing it with others helps us go on. BTW, I know of someone that watched her fiancé die in a horrible car accident and can't talk about it. She still has problems with suicidal thoughts and it has been almost 6 years. Grief does not get better unless you talk about it!kdlibertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293165615405616709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-8008362687261369162013-09-27T16:29:18.149-04:002013-09-27T16:29:18.149-04:00I agree.

You've learned a lot about yourself and life and that piece of it would help others too. I know I would definitely read it. You're a great writer, it's not about being perfect or being like any other writer. Good luck with whatever it is you choose to do!

I appreciate that about your writing style. <br /><br />I like to read about Abbey it's different than when you write about other things but it does feel real. I don't comment on Abbey's posts often because sometimes I feel like I'll say the wrong thing but the way you sprinkle her posts through your blog makes it feel so genuine reminding us that even though there aren't every day stories about her she's still a big part of your story.<br /><br />I'm sure AA&E will also like being able to read more about her when they can understand better.

It is so real. I can tell you don't spend hours trying to perfect it. Sometimes I think you are going somewhere and then you just stop. I love that.

However, I think you will be quite satisfied with how to turns out, especially if you remember not to be critical of yourself. You may want to remember more in 30 years, or maybe your other 3 girls will want to know more when they are young moms. My MIL's first son was born sleeping 30 years ago and she is forever changed. I am a medical student now flip flopping between OB/Gyn and Peds. Either way I will care for mothers in similar situations as yours and I appreciate reading your grief posts. Thank you for sharing.

I also think it would be helpful if there is a section in there by your mother and one from Rich.<br /><br />I just helped support a good friend through her second late term miscarriage and wish there were more good books on the subject to help those going though it and those supporting someone going through it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-71606160117491136882013-09-27T08:56:24.490-04:002013-09-27T08:56:24.490-04:00I agree.

I understand that may not be in the cards but I do look for posts like these. I often wonder where your head is at with all of it and insight into that is always welcome. These posts do help people. Even if people is just me. I don't know if grief is a good subject to give advice on because it is so complicated and so personal to each one who endures it. But sharing experience with it is certainly therapeutic for you and if it can touch one person it is indubitably worth it.<br /><br />Keep on keeping on. I am rooting for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
