I hope that it continues on in the days to come. Life throws us such unexpected curve balls that we never know what the next day will bring. Here's to many hopeful days to come. :)Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251412085263385952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-9302767357093477782010-10-24T19:42:00.367-07:002010-10-24T19:42:00.367-07:00Gratitude is such a powerful way to move forward i...Gratitude is such a powerful way to move forward in grief.

I'm not sure I ever will do another baby shower, including my own someday. It's just such a gut punch right in the middle of my stomach.KAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261499044344019218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-72938805348267305372010-10-24T08:00:40.617-07:002010-10-24T08:00:40.617-07:00I am so proud of you Rhi!

No one knows when or why the turning points occur but it is sometimes like taking a breath of fresh air. U-turns will come by but...proceed with caution and know that the right way will continue to lead! Little Harper is looking out for you and wants to see her Mommy's beautiful smile! And yes, you DO deserve Chris! Don't ever doubt that. He is your soulmate and you are his. Lots of love and hugs for you, Chris, and Harper!!

I love this post. Yo...Your writing is so beautiful. I love this post. You describe everything so well, so beautifully...as usual.<br /><br />I found the 4-month mar made a huge difference to me. I don't know what it was, but I wasn't in the bottom of the deep, dark pit anymore. I could see the sun. Sometimes I could feel it on my face. The 3 month mark also came with an improvement, but at 4 months, I reached a point that I thought I would never reach. I have felt peace sometimes, a sort of acceptance perhaps. Of course, there are relapses. I definitely still have my horrible moments and you will too. But Harper is always with you and is incredibly proud of you. We do have to choose to live. For your sakes and for our baby's sakes.<br /><br />I love the quotes. <br /><br />I will be thinking of you and Harper alot on Monday and will be lighting a candle for her on Monday night.<br /><br />Sending you lots of love and hugs.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860497122946287983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-30794096437739689002010-10-23T17:55:39.319-07:002010-10-23T17:55:39.319-07:00So well said!

Harper will be with you with every step you take and every moment you have on this journey. She will always be with you. You are her mommy, and she must be so proud of you. I hope that you can hold on to those moments when you feel strong. Grief is such a topsy turvy journey, one that I am not sure we ever really complete. But like you said, we can learn to live more fully despite the piece of our heart forever changed. I love the quotes you included too! I am sending you courage, support, and love <3 <3 <3Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601800346553703806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-72028366946420355962010-10-23T16:18:26.658-07:002010-10-23T16:18:26.658-07:00I'm glad you've made it through the first ...I'm glad you've made it through the first few horrible months and I truly hope things continue to look up for you.

I too still feel a deep sense of sadness when seeing a new baby or a pregnant belly, but the rest of the time I at least feel not so suffocated by the grief of our loss. Heres to the hope that happiness awaits us in the future.

The...The four month mark was my turning point too. The first three months are so, so hard, but once you make it through those life doesn't seem so bleak. My midwife calls it the fourth trimester. She says it is difficult for mamas who bring their babies home, and for those of us who lose their babies it's nearly impossible to navigate. Glad you made it through.
