Not that I have forgotten, but the way of living turned, and I had to discover a way to survive. <br /><br />"I could always sense the awkwardness."... I really liked that statement. I still feel that way on occasion. <br /><br />Yay, for mascara!! So happy that you have been able to take a fresh step!! :)Jennifer Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619769165667422761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021388053641073639.post-63532780549999088492013-02-06T21:16:29.071-06:002013-02-06T21:16:29.071-06:00I really appreciate youf WWY posts and I agree wit...I really appreciate youf WWY posts and I agree with everything you said...the letting relationships go, the letting facebook go, the knowing your limits. I had a rough day and actually cancelled an appointment with a customer. I just knew I couldn't put my professional happy face on, and that's okay. I've learned not to schedule anything important on my tender days. Most of all, I agree with leaning on God for everything. One of my devotionals said, when you don't know what to do...just do the next thing.

Cooking obviously wasn't one of them because Thanksgiving was the day after my miscarriage, and it kept my mind off things, but there have been plenty of other things. And, I am doing my best learning to lean on God for everything in my life. Thank you so much for sharing, and hugs to you!Kayla Yowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451279947887536824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021388053641073639.post-5744716891026700042013-01-28T20:55:56.054-06:002013-01-28T20:55:56.054-06:00You described so well the steps back into life...t...You described so well the steps back into life...the tiny victories of normalcy seeping in. I love what you shared about leaning on God. And, not just for the big things...but you know the simple every moment, every breath things. Setting the table...going to the mailbox. Yes.<br /><br />That is a precious gift...even in all of this. A precious gift.

The...I agree with Betty that hobbies are very good! They can help take your mind off things for a bit or they can even help you honor your baby. You def learn that you need to control what is good for you and sometimes that does involve telling people no. They may not like it, but it's necessary. I remember not long after my mom came and stayed with us for like a week. She was pushing for me to go outside and I kept telling her no until I finally blew up at her. She just could not get that I did not want to leave me house. It wasn't that easy at the time.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431384515813384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021388053641073639.post-86501923117549391722013-01-26T20:19:45.651-06:002013-01-26T20:19:45.651-06:00Hobbies are great!

We did that a TON in months following. Just a way to get me out of the house and take my mind off things.<br /><br />Girl, I still have to set limits. I feel those off days coming and I just hole up. It's much easier when you learn your limits...I've learned more about myself in general since we lost Vanessa...Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934057308054901761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021388053641073639.post-1595062484599798772013-01-26T13:45:37.139-06:002013-01-26T13:45:37.139-06:00RyAnne, I'm so sorry for your loss...

I also remember when I was finally able to cook... for so many weeks I had no appetite and the most I could manage was microwaving something or ordering pizza. It felt like a huge step just to pull out a frying pan. <br /><br />Thank you for the advice about taking it slow and setting limits. I often find myself saying NO to situations that I just don't think I can handle, but I always tend to second guess myself. I guess if I can deal with losing a baby, than others can deal with something as small as me not showing up for their baby showers. <br /><br />Much Love to you...Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860870910413734703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021388053641073639.post-39796667861519774472013-01-25T15:51:57.103-06:002013-01-25T15:51:57.103-06:00RyAnne, that's great advice.

Its so frustrating when others want you to lie about your reality or hide it. I know pregnancy loss is rare, but to us, its not, its the thing we live everyday. So many people try to shove it away but for us, it will always be there. Thank you for sharing!

They say they love you and want you there but have this look when they say it! :)<br /><br />2 weeks after losing Tossie, we went to church at my in laws church... On our way there we receive a call telling us not to talk about Tossie, as the pastor's wife was pregnant with her rainbow. They didn't want to stress her out. The only problem was the pastor and his wife knew I was farther along then her... They kept looking at me with a look that said ' why isn't she bigger than'.<br /><br />The worse part was that as I sat there eating lunch the ladies of the church were talking about the baby shower. One turns to me and asks if I knew how to build a diaper cake. I said yes; to which I was then asked to build it and bring to the shower. I wanted to scream, cry and shout NO NO NO! But I swallowed it and said sure. A few days later my MIL called and said that another lady had ordered one and that I no longer needed to make it. I was so thankful that it wasn't needed anymore, because I didn't think I could do it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! Much love, hugs, and prayers for you <3 and sorry for writing so much :)Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084101452063808419noreply@blogger.com
