Day 3: Myths

Please don't be scared to say his name. 
Please don't be scared to ask us how we are doing.
Go ahead, mention that you thought of us, or him, the other day. 


Mention that you wore the shirt dedicated to him and it warmed your heart the same way it warms mine to look down and see his tiny footprints all day long. 

You can say all of that and more. 
You can say it any day and any time. 

You can't make me sad. You just can't. 
It is not in your abilities. 
I'm either having a great day and can talk about Connor without any tears.
I could be having a bad day, and start crying. Don't feel guilty. 
That just means the feelings were right there under the surface. I was feeling raw at that point.
You didn't cause it. 

I'm not ashamed of my bad days. I don't get angry when you say something that brings out tears. 
If I'm crying, I probably already cried that day, or hour. It happens. 

Don't be afraid to speak about Connor. I love hearing you say his name. 




October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness month. I'm participating in the Capture Your Grief project. This project was set up by another blogger. It is a way to travel through grief, with others. I will not stress myself out if I don't get every single day. Some days may only be posted here, others only on Facebook, and some on both media outlets. Read more about it at this website.
