Even if there is initial support, often it fizzles out in a few weeks - so send a cheery card next month. I think one of the most important things was to continue to speak of the baby and use his/her name - don't avoid the subject thinking that it brings pain to the parents - in fact its the opposite, its so nice to know that others around us remember and acknowledge our children.

I was reminded again of how deep that grief is as I wept with a dear woman and her sister this week at work. My tears were for her pain, and for you and Joe, and Abby and Cory. This Abita will never forget your baby or Abby and Cory's.abitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715452903304092016.post-87753004092469487032011-10-16T10:23:15.817-05:002011-10-16T10:23:15.817-05:00Thanks so much for posting this, Mirms!

As a, "I have no idea what you're feeling, but I am here..." friend, sometimes finding the right thing to say or do can be really challenging. I have no way of putting myself in your position to know what to do—I suspect that a lot of people that responded to your poorly felt the same way. Just know that they were trying their best and doing only what they knew to do at the time. I hope a ton of people read this post so that they (including me) can be more informed if they're ever faced with another situation like this. <br /><br />I love you!Kelly B.http://www.designandotherstuff.comnoreply@blogger.com
