Loss of an Infant

It has been 4 weeks since we lost our precious Jalayne.  The pain is incomprehensible.  Her memories are everywhere we turn.    My heart feels like a wide gaping hole.   I want to hear her laughter and her footsteps.  I need to hold her and smell her and kiss her. I need my Laynee back!!!!! I can't do this.  I don't know if I even want to do this.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I can feel the pain coming from your post.  My daughter was only 17 days old when we lost her, but I've lost track of how often I've said that I need her back.  I hope that you have a good support system in your life.  If not, or if people don't seem to understand, please come here to talk or vent.  There are also support groups for people who have lost children (Compassionate Friends Network has groups all over the place).  Please reach out if you need help.  I wish there were something I could do or say to make you feel better.  Please know that you are not alone.

Take care,

Cristin
