A woman told me that she lost her daughter at 40 years old to a heart condition-- but that losing a baby you carried no matter how long they lived is still the worst grief a person can endure. She's right.<br /><br />At two of the schools I work at, 2 different women approached me after losing Andrew and explained their own stories of stillbirth. They never even SAW their babies. It wasn't allowed. <br /><br />It's a terrible reality... but glad you were able to open up about your boys.B.

We often feel that we are the ONLY ones who know what we are going through, but you just never know who else is grieving for the same reasons. I had a similar experience with an old coworker who I worked with for years. She sent me a card after Love died, and explained that she lost a son at just around the same gestation 24 years ago and knows exactly what I was going through. That meant more to me than any of the kind words I received by friends and family who "couldn't even imagine" what I was going through. I'm glad you have a new friend at work who you can talk openly with, or at least share knowing hugs when you or she need it.<br />Thanks for sharing this story!!<br /><br />BrookeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563497787799870103.post-70047000000875784882011-09-07T18:13:34.645-04:002011-09-07T18:13:34.645-04:00This is a quote that I heard a while back that has...This is a quote that I heard a while back that has stuck with me: <br /><br />Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one." -C.S.
