Something quick I ask others to remember

[Stephie84]

I'm only 6 months out with my loss, but I find that people think that beacuse I started www.myveryownangel.org (http://www.myveryownangel.org) or because I'm not a big mess, they don't have to ask me how i'm doing or let me know they thought about me or Vayden. Now only 6 months later I find lil ppl even bring him up in convo's. I've never cried at the sound of his name so I wonder what is wrong with ppl. In my latest blog entry I wrote this and I hope that maybe you gals can use this or switch up the words, deff take out the names, lol. It's just a quick reminder for ppl

I need you all to realize one thing about grief, it does not go away, and we don’t forget about it. Just because I am not a crying mess everyday doesn’t mean I don’t need you to check up on me. I am human and I hurt everyday for my loss. I’m humbled enough to know that Vayden had a bigger purpose in life and death, but that still doesn’t take away from the sharp pains I feel in my heart. I am grieving healthy and progressively healing, but I ask that you not forget about me or Vayden.

Stephanie that was beautifully written!

I am the same way. I thank God for allowing me to grieve healthy and allowing me peace to be able to live in honor of my girls, but the downside is people think you've "moved on" because you're not bitter and don't have envy and don't have resentment. You can't win!

Perfectly phrased! Remembering your sweet Vayden today and always.

I think it's great that you're reaching out to your friends to let them know how you feel. Our friends care about us and want to help us, but usually don't know how. Your message will give them some insight and opens the door for them, I hope they take the hint and give you the comfort you need.
