Today...this day...is pregnancy and infant loss day. 4 1/2 years ago I joined this club. The club that no one wants to belong too. The club that has far too many members.
Today, this club honors and remembers its' children. Not that they aren't honored and remembered every single day of every single year. But today, this club asks the world to honor and remember them too.
You see, in my life, my son is rarely acknowledged. We talk about Nate with our kids on a daily basis. He's part of our lives. Every Single Day! But others don't. My family NEVER brings up Nate's name. They never discuss him, ask how we are dealing with his death or remember him in any way. And in my husbands very large family it's only slightly better. A couple of family members remember him at Christmas and on his birthday but nothing is mentioned the other 363 days of the year.
So today I join this community and remember my sweet baby along with all of the other precious children that we are learning to live without. My heart aches for all of the mommies and daddies out there today. It's an important day but a hard one as well.

I lite my candle in rememberance of Nathan and all the babies who have left too soon.
And what exactly do you want them to say? Do you want them to focus every day on your trial? Because if that's what you expect then are you doing the same? Their trial may not be the same as yours but its a trial for them none the less. Are you that considerate?
From what I have seen on your blog, no. Youre not. Youre wrapped up in your own life and your own trials, which is exactly how it should be. Stop trying to pull others into your life and your personal trials.
Whats happened to you is a terrible tragedy, and no one should expect you to just move on, but why do you insist on dragging everyone onto your sinking ship?
