I hate that your husband...People are such assholes. I hate that your husband had to defend your sanity (and simultaneously, love that he did!). It drives me nuts how I can post a single photo of Grace, and now Piper and get 80 "likes" and several comments about how cute she is… and I "share" something about BL or about Jack on his birthday/anniversary and I'll get 1/4 the response… I hate that it's still taboo, and that people think I'm "damaged" for sharing it. <br /><br />I've trimmed the FB fat down by a few hundred people and it always feels great to do so. :) GL.

I don't see lots of t...I'm not on facebook. I don't see lots of these wonderful projects. That one comment (to your husband no less!), would hit me hard. You are grieving your son and someone is essentially telling you you're a whack-a-doodle. Super. So they obviously don't understand loss, haven't been there, and don't want to understand. What a shame.<br /><br />I'm so sorry you felt judged in that way. It's unacceptable. People can be so cruel. B.

I enjoy your voice and your insights...I read, too. I enjoy your voice and your insights. I never leave without having some thoughts stirred and without a bit of comfort to pass on. <br /><br />I'm 20+ years after the death of my daughter. From my experience, not only is it good for you to share your knowledge, but you need to periodically go back through the whole experience and look at where you have been, where you are now and where you are going with this knowledge and the grief of being the parent of a child who died. It changes as you and your life change. What was comforting last year may not be what is right this year. <br /><br />Keep going, Lindsey. Yes, there are many "right" ways to grieve. There are a few that are wrong. You are not wrong. You are doing well and doing good for others at the same time.<br /><br />To quote an old U2 song, "Don't let the bastards get you down"! ;-)<br /><br />Wishing you peace and ease,<br /><br />Jill A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262780222421784520.post-90501577642954256452014-03-09T10:11:54.863-07:002014-03-09T10:11:54.863-07:00Good for you!!!!

Sadly most of my posts about infant death & grief get ignored by many of my "real life family & friends".
