This weekend, while I was celebrating my best friends' wedding, some of my good childhood friends were going through what Cam and I went through last year. A scary delivery, a NICU stay, and losing their son. It brings back so much hurt....knowing that someone I knew before, not because of, my loss is dealing with the same things.
This month is difficult as it is...now to know that it will be difficult for someone else, too...someone I care about. Someone who has been like family to me growing up. To see someone else feel that pain. To know that you are not alone is great...but to know that someone else has to feel it, too, when our children should still be here...it hurts...it's scary.
What I hope is that I can be there for them...I can be a source of love and support...information and caring. I hope that I have already been that...I hope that I can give them hope. That you can survive it...that as much as it absolutely SUCKS, it is manageable (most days). That living with that pain every day can be survived. That a marriage can survive. That maybe there is hope for a rainbow. Hope...that's what I can pay forward this month.
