Dear Marlene so very very very sorry going thru this again so soon... never easy but there is only so much one can take... thinking of you... x
Dear Mercy... thank you for your words.... I too take it as sign... this is my sister's baby she so wanted one.. she was so happy she was late one month... I was not up for another one but happy to have this one for her.. it is is just hard not feel so overwhelmingly sad without her... she adored my twins she absolutely dotted on them... to be gone so early I still cannot believe.. come back form work still momentarily thinking I better call you got to tell sg but then it hits me... she has given me this baby must have... been pregnant in 38 is a miracle...
must have been so hard for you... I will too looking forward into the baby smiles and laughs... a mini Tonia baby to cherish... thank you
dear Marlene, my deepest heartfelt condolences. I have not lost a parent or a close uncle or aunt but I have lost my 21yr old son, what you are going through is too much for anyone to bare. I can not imagine such multiple losses, especially, in such a short period of time. We can all only hope for some peace, no matter how small, no matter how long it may take to come.
Many hugs to you.
Nadia; I feel your pain; I lost my brother when my baby was seven months old; then my mom died one year later. This baby has walked with me through my grief. I cannot believe how incredibly resilient Michelle is. I’ve virtually been sad since she was born. I had really bad post partum depression which never got treated, found out mom had cancer when Michelle was three months then lost my favorite brother and mom within one year. The baby you’re carrying is here to guide you through your grief; Michelle has the most beautiful smile and is the most vivacious girl you’ll ever meet. She laughs and giggles all the time as if to cheer me up. Mom really wanted me to have a baby and having her was like the fulfillment of all her dreams. I remember on the day I conceived, I called mom and joked with her I was pregnant; not knowing I would conceive just a few hours later……. I know your little one will feel your pain but will also bring you so much joy. Please enjoy your pregnancy; I know it’s what your sister would want for you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand it completely. In my walk through grief, I talked to a grief counselor through our local hospice. She gave me some copies from a book call Understanding Your Grief, by Alan D Wolfelt, Ph,D.
I have been posting them on my FB wall, but they deal with exactly what you are talking about. I will post them on the main page here so that people can know that although their walk is unique, a lot of their experiences are not. What may work for one will not work for another, but there are several suggestions on some things that may work.
