After my son died, it's like people just kinda lost all sense of what they were supposed to do, leaving me to have to tell them what I needed. How was I even supposed to know?! Thank you for writing this. It is a shame that it is not handed out at funerals and memorial services to all the friends who truly want to help.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324454725674862420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220869757252380147.post-63402108440690745512010-04-13T18:28:32.851-05:002010-04-13T18:28:32.851-05:00That is so perfect and well said!

Everyone including my parents, siblings, some friends and distant acquaintances NEEDED to read this! Thanks for putting it out there. I hope someone will take this to heart as it is written by someone who KNOWS and GETS it, every last bit of this grief.<br /><br />XOFranchescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362049658761399255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220869757252380147.post-17278758519362280692010-04-13T15:50:21.536-05:002010-04-13T15:50:21.536-05:00Very well written, Michelle.
I think it is very i...Very well written, Michelle.<br /><br />I think it is very important to get these messages out to the general public. Some people's words/phrases are really hurtful however they think they are well meaning because they have not been educated or guided towards what really does help.<br /><br />When I created my website I included a few articles like the one you have written above and my own mother came crying to me saying she was sorry if she ever unintentionally said anything to hurt me. Older generations (and my mother isn't very old) were taught to sweep the loss of a baby under the carpet and to move forward... unfortunately it isn't the best advice, as we know.<br /><br />Thank you for reaching out to the not-so-grieved. I am sure you will open a few eyes and help a few people learn what can help us BLMs the most.<br /><br />xoJaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232117298571410184noreply@blogger.com
