 I feel like I am in a church because I have been reading and saying "Amen"
a
 lot with this thread!  I have met so many women that have lost a child and
 we now can cry together and remember them.  I am still working on my
wording
 when people ask me how many children I have...I love your response Mandy
 because it makes it easier for the other person to focus on where they want
 to lead the conversation.  My fear also is that Michelle's memory is
 forgotten so I never want to leave her out but I don't want make people
talk
 about her and feel uncomfortable.

 My most uncomfortable times have come when someone remembers that I had a
 baby and asks about Michelle not knowing that she died almost a year ago.
 Has happened twice and both times I felt so bad for the other person.  I
 always let them know how honored I am to talk about her and thank them for
 asking.   I hope it helps because I really do like talking about Michelle
 and some of the lessons she taught me.
