I thought that it was still far off, but i just realized that it's next month. Feb. 14th the day after my first born's b-day. and i definately don't want to be sad on my son's birthday.
my grieving has progressed really well, mostly thanks to the ladies here. i'm not a super emotional person and i normally don't know what to say so i don't post much. and i'm also pregnant again, so far it's healthy. i just wasn't expecting to look at the date and to realize that i should be 8 months instead of 3. all of the sudden my heart tightened and i wanted to cry.
now like many of you have posted, I too am waiting and dreading my would have been due date. does anyone have suggestions on how to make the day a little easier?
All the prepairing in the world didn't make it any easier for me with either due date. What I did do, which was very difficult, was allow myself to cry as much as I needed. I also released a balloon on each day, wich a little message on it to my babies.
Sorry I'm not much help, but wishing you the best of luck on that day, and keeping your rainbow baby in my prayers!! **hugs**
My due date actually wasn't to hard because I just kept myself busy with my dd and didn't really stop to think about it to much. I know a lot of ladies have said on there due dates they do something to memorialize their angel like do a balloon release or plant some flowers in memory of their angel.
I did a special activity on that day. I just felt part of me needed that day for a little greaving. I wasn't crying or sad but just one more step in the journey. Sometimes I think we think of the present, or a few years, but really, we remember and miss our babies forever. For me, letting that day be my "due date" was nice somehow.
thank you all fpr your support!
