I should print it out and put in some sort of keepsake box... <br />Your loss is no less important because the spirit you saw was not "alive" in our earthly sense. We all grieve deeply the loss of ideas, the burying of projects and dreams. All of those are as real as they can be, just like a person. So a spirit that you got to know and wait for... takes just as much grief. I have a friend who was constantly visited by a spirit baby who wanted to come through her. But this will not be possible in this lifetime, so she mourns this loss. And it's taking her a few years to come to terms with her decision.Petruciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15779047222262497847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400986193010342577.post-24321888968646459792009-06-01T09:31:02.717-06:002009-06-01T09:31:02.717-06:00it is hard to go down that road again - to reach o...it is hard to go down that road again - to reach out -what is shes there - what if shes not - what if shes angry or sad. it is confusing, but i get it, no one can understand the grief we feel of loosing someone 8 cells in size. thanks for sharing.<br />NNadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08219960725085412879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400986193010342577.post-44262223322094794262009-06-01T07:21:03.326-06:002009-06-01T07:21:03.326-06:00Hi:

If you felt it, it is genuine. And express it. The grief does not lessen at all, but you can get support for it. Also, the venting will make you feel that there is somebody listening.....alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07679149270839974470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400986193010342577.post-30195852803406861322009-05-31T15:39:58.262-06:002009-05-31T15:39:58.262-06:00Beautiful post, Phoebe, and beautiful poem.

This is a huge loss and on top of the uncertainty about IVF and the trauma and other losses you've survived this year, how could you not be hurting terribly.

It makes more and more sense to me every time I read it. I just love it! I'm glad that my writing was able to help you. Please don't EVER be ashamed to write about grief. if it's real to you then it's real! These are your feelings and your feelings belong to you. Nobody can tell you if they're right or wrong. <br /><br />I'll do anything I can to help you through what you're going through. We can help each other!

That is a loss and you are feeling it as a loss.<br /><br />I think I get it. For me, when the spirit that I was sure I was carrying after our 1 IVF decided not to show, I was dumbstruck. The betrayal existed alongside the grief, even though they are not very similar emotions.<br /><br />I wish I'd had the purple gorilla poem then.<br /><br />Hugs, Phoebe.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400986193010342577.post-91191913364579265232009-05-31T08:26:34.535-06:002009-05-31T08:26:34.535-06:00Such a beautiful post, Phoebe...sending you peacef...Such a beautiful post, Phoebe...sending you peaceful thoughts for you and your spirit baby.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027548058304720360noreply@blogger.com
