debstmomy's grief journey

A blog about my grief journey over the life & death of my baby girl, Alexa Rose.

I am starting to go out in public a little more. However, I am going to places I know I will not run into people I know. It feels safer. Last friday we took the kids to the Regional Park, & just like I feared, we ran into someone we knew. She happliy asked, "Where's the baby?" I then tell her my baby died & I lose it. It is so awful. I am sure she felt bad, but really, I feel horrible, much worse than her bad! Anyway, I just do not want to deal with that! Am I wrong for not wanting to see people I know in public? We took the kids to Disneyland yesterday. I knew I would not run into anyone I knew there, and we didn't. We did see a few "preggo" Mama's & lots of babies. A few wee ones at that. It was hard. I just wanted to run up & snatch those babies & hug on them, even just for a little bit. I still have heavy empty arms. I do not think that will ever go away. I constantly thought about Alexa at Disneyland. I was sad she will not get to ride a roller coaster, see the parades, listen to the music, watch the fireworks, dance with the characters. Matt & I talked about it on the way home. She was in his constant thoughts as well. Amber & Austin kept saying Alexa was with us. Riding the tram, playing in Camp Brother Bear, they said she was right there. I don't know, was her spirit there with us? Perhaps it is inside us, those constant thoughts that we have are her. I am not sure. I am not sure about alot of things these days.

    Hi,
    I also lost a baby late in pregnancy. Not as late as you. If you are not already aware, I wanted to let you know that there are some great message boards out there for women who have had stillborn children.

    None of the things you're thinking are odd in any way. They are totally normal.

    I am very sorry for the loss of your precious Alexa. The healing will come, but it takes a lot of time. Be patient with yourself.
    Hugs,
    Roxanne
