I am sure it's not an original. :) You know it was actually my sister's need to share her grief that inspired me to have my family members write. It just seemed like everyone in our family was so impacted by Nora's death that we all needed an outlet. I have to say that us writing and sharing it on this forum has helped us all understand each other and our grief more. So please do the same with your family and friends. It seems to be a nice healing technique for us all. <br /> <br />Also, in May I will be dedicating most of the month to the grief of family along with grief within my marriage with Nick. It should be a great month to see how family members deal with their grief. <br /><br />Peace,<br /><br />Lindsey Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699558213320159178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591083597388311251.post-18385958025839678742013-04-15T20:15:54.109-05:002013-04-15T20:15:54.109-05:00I will let my sister know to forgive herself.

I told her after she wrote the post that I do not hold anything against her and the conversation didn't even cross my mind as why Nora is no longer with us. Sometimes it is nice to have others give us permission to go easy on ourselves. Thank you for that. I will pass the message along. <br /><br />Peace,<br /><br />Lindsey<br />Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699558213320159178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591083597388311251.post-36806436790398056362013-04-15T20:14:21.353-05:002013-04-15T20:14:21.353-05:00Thank you for sharing such deep emotions and thoug...Thank you for sharing such deep emotions and thoughts Pamela. I think part of us just has a way of knowing things. Can't explain it.<br /><br />(((((hugs))))) back to you.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699558213320159178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591083597388311251.post-4681692809621446762013-04-15T09:53:19.542-05:002013-04-15T09:53:19.542-05:00I think that everyone has thoughts or things they ...I think that everyone has thoughts or things they wish they could take back. I know I did, but we have to remember that we did not cause this. Of course, that is easier said than done. Thanks for sharing this story. <br /><br />Lindsay, I really enjoy these posts from your family. It is great to see other people's perspectives. Sometimes I am so wrapped up in my grief that I forget how many other people losing Maddox affected. If you don't mind me copying your idea, I am going to ask some of my family member's if they would like to share their stories. <br /><br />You are doing great things and I am very glad I found your blog. <br /><br /> Tasha Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792015788786311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591083597388311251.post-35227369675907341622013-04-14T20:03:47.622-05:002013-04-14T20:03:47.622-05:00After my son's boys died I remember feeling th...After my son's boys died I remember feeling that I must have done something wrong. I wracked my brain for months trying to come up with what I might have done that was so terrible that my son had to pay for it with the loss of the boys. Losing a child is so awful that I think our minds try to come up with a reason for that loss. We so often blame ourselves or our shortfalls when there is no blame to be had. Be easy on yourself and put your mind to rest. <br />Hugs and peace, PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759142122360047560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591083597388311251.post-11030695587140990282013-04-14T14:49:47.477-05:002013-04-14T14:49:47.477-05:00Gerry,

Not even too sure what, but sometimes I would have a strange feeling, like a voice was saying "oh no". There is a beautiful foto of my daughter, 38 weeks pregnant, on a swing with her 2 year old daughter pushing her. Such a beautiful foto, both laughing and my first reaction was one of fear.. why??? No reason!!! It was a beautiful foto. I have read in other blogs that mothers have the feeling that something is wrong, or that the crib will remain empty. After a couple of months I told my sister (she lives in Australia) about the feelings I had, I cried when I told her, because I was ashamed to say those words. Later I told my husband and he said.."why did you never tell me, I had the same feelings". I cannot and will not believe that any of us have the power to harm our babies or grandbabies, it is just a fear that many (grand)parents have, and when everything goes well, you forget your "premonitions" and when they sadly become reality you think it was your fault. It is not your fault, or our fault, or anybody's fault!!<br />Thank you for sharing your deepest thoughts and I hope that talking about it helps put your fears to rest.
