I too am blessed to have a few great friends who are not afraid to ask the questions so many don't and who are able to gently give us encouragement and also know when changing the subject is just what we need to do. Thank you as always for your very honest and raw truth of living through this grief as bereaved mothers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063498755573403661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591083597388311251.post-16734761708847869852013-07-24T08:12:17.923-05:002013-07-24T08:12:17.923-05:00What a great friend!! Just last week, my dear frie...What a great friend!! Just last week, my dear friend Sarah asked me, "How are you doing with your grief?" She said she was scared to death to ask, and was worried she'd hurt me with such a question. I told her I loved the question; it's the type of question most people avoid asking. It engaged me in a discussion of where I am in a very deep way. Thank goodness for friends like these, huh? I'm wondering...I just read a book for our situation (infertility/IVF, etc.)...one of the things suggested is to write out affirmations, print them out, whatever...post them around the house. Learn them, repeat them. The last of my short list of about 5 is "I can do anything as long as I have HOPE." I don't believe it most days, but I'm trying reeeeealllllly hard to let it sink in so I DO believe it. I don't know, maybe some affirmations and one that includes having hope might do a little something positive for ya?? Just sending you lots of love and good vibes ;)Tara Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06134914230548308233noreply@blogger.com
