What If I can't do this grief thing? What if I can't keep going on day in and day out without my sweet little girl? What if I just plain don't want to do it anymore?  Is this what going crazy looks like?  Tomorrow will be two months since she died and the hurting just keeps getting worse the longer she's gone.  What if I can't do this??

I hope you don't mind I went and read your blog.  Our baby girl only lived for 45 minutes so while I have experienced loss it isn't the same.  I guess all loss is different and everyone grieves differently and all that.  I just wanted to give you  ((hugs)) and let you know that you are not alone, that I have shed tears for your sweet little girl today and for your family in your time of loss.  I know that there aren't "right" words so I'll just say I'm so sorry.  ((hugs))

I am so sorry for your loss. And totally understand "What if I can't keep going on day in and day out without my sweet little girl? What if I just plain don't want to do it anymore?" Most days I don't want to do it anymore either but something keeps me going and I don't even know what it is.

I don't have any magical answer, either, but I have thought the same thing *many* times over in the 4 years since losing my Ryan. But, I'm still here and I'm still managing - somehow.

(((HUGS))) to you and know I'm thinking about you!

Lucky,

I'm with Sherry on this.  it's been 5 1/2 years and I ask myself daily.  "how do people do this?"  I hate.  I don't want to do this any more.  It hurts to much.  I want people around me who understand, but at the same time I don't.  It does get easier and yet it doesn't at the same time.  You go on because you have to, at least that is what I tell myself. 

(((HUGS))) I wish there was a magic answer.
