Hello everyone- I just wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be coming back to work soon. For those of you that don*t know, on December 27, 2002 my husband and I lost our daughter. I was
almost 8 months pregnant and we were told they could not detect a heart beat. On December 28, 2002 our beautiful, perfect daughter was born, only she was still. I am writing this to everyone because some people may not know what to do or say when I come back and that is perfectly okay. Don*t be afraid to let me know that you thought of her, that you miss her, or to just say I*m sorry and I
don*t know what to do. It will help me to know that other people thought she existed too. Please don*t try to tell me you know how I feel unless you to have lost a child and please don*t ignore the fact that I have two children now not just one. This is going to be a slow and hard process for me please be patient. I will do my best to do the same with you.
Thank you for all of the hugs and prayers. They have helped a lot. Please don*t stop once I am back to work. Just because I am back to work and say that I am doing okay doesn*t mean that I really am okay. I will never truly be okay again. She was our daughter and we miss and love her so much.
I have enclosed three poems I have found and I hope they help you with how to act and react to me when I come back to work. Please take the time to read them.
