what do you think?

Hi everyone,
I found this quote "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." - Norman Cousins (1915-1990) on refdesk.com(great site). At present I want to agree. Before and all through my pregnancy I lived life looking forward to each day. Now I live life wishing I could erase each passing day, stop the hands of time and go back to anticipating Cydney Paige's birth. I cannot look forward to the future, I do not want one without her. Everyone goes on as though nothing happened. Everything new without her has no meaning, I don't want to buy myself clothing, shoes or anything, because I had looked forward to doing all this with "my girl", one for me and one for her! Now I have to go alone. Perhaps Cydney Paige's return to heaven is not the greatest loss, but the loss of my zeal for life.

That is a powerful statement with alot of truth. I am sorry that Cydney Paige is not here with you to do those things. My heart goes out to you and all the mom's here.

Karla,
If I could give you a big hug right now I would~ my heart goes out to you, there is so much pain in your words~ it makes my heart break too, along with yours. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
You are not alone in feeling the way you do. This is not how things are supposed to be, this is not what we planned, our babies should be here with us, in our arms. The fact that life goes on like nothing happened is not fair. There is nothing we can do to change it.
Thank you for sharing your feelings with us Karla~ we are here for you, we always will be. You are an important part of our 'family'. We will help you through this. Sharing how you are feeling is one step toward looking to brighter days, although they may seem so distant right now. You have people in your life who need you, someday, you will be the strong link for another family going through this. You are a valuable part of NILMDTS and we need you too. I know this doesn't help to ease the pain in your heart that you are feeling. I so wish there was something profound I could say that would ease your pain~ I really do. Just remember we are here for you~ ((big hugs to you))
