[tri-wings] Re: Hello

Welcome Kathleen,
I am sure you will find much comfort on this list. It is a place to tell and 
retell your story and to open your heart to people who DO understand.  I found 
this list 2 weeks after my Rebecca died and it saved my sanity.

I'm off to church now, but when I get back I'll send a long post.

((((Kathleen))) I'm so sorry you had to find us at all.

Much love

Kathy s
Mom to Rebecca Dawn T18 'I'

Hello:
I just joined Tri-Wings.  I had found so much hope and comfort in the other 
Tri-Med email list, that I thought I would write and see what kind of support I 
could find here.  

My Bethany Kate died in utero April 21, 2009 and was delivered April 23rd.  She 
had full T-18 and passed away at 35 weeks.  

I am writing because I am struggling and looking for comfort.  I think I have 
been subconsciously suppressing my pain and emotions, and have not found the 
time to adequately grieve.  I have three daughters to take care of, and with 
all the activities of summer and what not, I have kept myself busy - for better 
or for worse.  But it finally began to dawn on me last night, when I found 
myself lying awake for HOURS, reliving all the moments of my pregnancy and 
delivery with Bethany.  I find myself scared that I will forget what few 
memories I have of her.  Some days, it feels like this whole journey never 
happened at all.  

Surely there are parents out there who have courageous walked this path before 
me.  I am looking for some peace and someone to share.

Kathleen
