Three Little Boys & A Mum Without Sorority
I have three little boys, they are my sons. They don't live with me right now, I will have to wait to see them. This week I have mainly been missing my little man Gab. It has been over 9 months since I lost the twins and Vincenzo and Benedetto provide me with a reassuring comfort, you get used to them not being here with you, little Gab was expected though. I still have to get used to the fact that he wouldn't be staying either.
Naturally I had some time to prepare, and packed away the few bits that I had put to one side for him. The amount of baby things I am accumulating now is still manageable but just very, very sad. I have one room with packed baby things and another with the memory boxes, ashes and photos. Two separate places......

This time I can't find them, the other mothers that have multiple stillbirths. I meet ladies with recurrent miscarriage, but that isn't the same, they simply pass their condolences and tell me that they 'can't imagine what I am going through', I wonder where the rare 'recurrent stillbirth' ladies are, are they even called 'recurrent stillbirths'? I have no idea. Do they go away and hide or maybe they get rubbed out of existence?
Dear Claudia,
ReplyDeleteI suspect many parents that lose children hide away and find interaction with others who share their experience too painful. Web based communications are helpful to a point but perhaps with grief such as this there is something to be said for real human contact, a friendly face, a hug from someone who fully appreciates what you're going through.
Have you come across SANDS? Perhaps they have a support group in your area?
