Thank you for sharing - it is important for women to talk about these experiences, because, like you say, it happens to so many of us and we need to each deal with it in our own way but feel that we can talk about it if we want to.

I still think about it occasionally but am no longer sad when I think about it. I lost myself in quilting too. It's a funny thing how cutting up pieces of cotton fabric and sewing them back together can make such a difference to our emotional well-being but I'm sure glad for it.

Releasing tears is healthy and while many people see crying as a weakness, it is not. Crying gives you strength to face your day and be present for your life. The quilt you made represents hope and strength to me. Stay hopeful, strong and present and lean on others when you need to. I can't wait to see what you will create next! Much love and well wishes to you and your family.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01734494412565146788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134967455159449605.post-75043267085686456032014-07-08T07:31:05.260-07:002014-07-08T07:31:05.260-07:00I am so sorry for your loss.

Having something, a book or this quilt project, really does help after this kind of loss. You'll never forget, of course, but it does get a little easier.

Each of her two sons were premature, with the second expected to be full-term, even more premature. They are healthy boys with no sign of being preemies. She says it makes her thankful for what she does have. My best friend's daughter was pregnant at the same time with a difficult pregnancy. They said some very, very uncaring things to me. Please take care of yourself and surround yourself with supportive people. I lost a husband (not her dad) the same day, she had her D&C, I found a grief group to help me. We all grieve differently. Erica, you and your family are in my prayers.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825257012315494167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134967455159449605.post-77719056883127020042014-07-08T01:51:40.985-07:002014-07-08T01:51:40.985-07:00Out of your heartbreak you created a beautiful qui...Out of your heartbreak you created a beautiful quilt.
