Hi Sarah

I just read your email and I have been thinking about you and how you are
doing a lot. I remember how awful those first few months were. I pray you
will find peace and comfort throughout the holidays. I remember Christmas
last year was awful for me. I spent a lot of the day crying in bed because
my son should have been there with us. I am hoping this year will be a lot
better and I am actually looking forward to it instead of dreading it.

I read about the bereavement group you went to. Are there any other groups
you could attend for people who have lost babies. Here in Australia we have
SIDS and Kids which is specifically for losses in pregnancy and up to 1 year
old. I went to a couple of group meetings last year and also saw one of
their councellors for a while. I found it very beneficial as everyone that
works there has been through the same thing more or less and knows all the
feelings that come with it.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you over the holidays.

Love Lorraine

Subject: [Placenta Abruption] Happy Thanksgiving!



Hi everyone,

I hope you are well. I would like to say Happy Thanksgiving to
everyone who is celebrating. I would love to have some Thanksgiving
turkey with all the trimmings right now. But I had mine way back in
October....Canadian Thanksgiving.

I hope everyone is doing well. As for myself, I went to my first
bereavement group last Monday with my husband. It's conducted by
the funeral home that we made Keegan's arrangements with. I felt
sick to my stomach when I found out the class was being held in the
same room where we had the viewing. I started crying as soon as we
walked in cus I had memories of where his casket was placed and all
my emotions from that day came back full force. I had a difficult
time relating to anyone in the group because everyone there had
either lost a spouse or parent. Everyone had past memories about
their loved ones. I didn't really have any. We were the only ones
who lost a child. The next session is tomorrow night. I feel
really nervous....I'm not sure why?

Well, I hope you all have a safe and yummy Thanksgiving....God Bless.

Sarah
