Several weeks ago a friend sent me an article written by a mom of a severely disabled baby. Since then I have read it over and over and over again, and cry every time. I know that what this family is going through is quite different than what we've been through - but it gives a glimpse into my brain, being the mother of babies born under not so perfect circumstances, one of whom may be heading down a more difficult path than we'd hoped.
Like her, I don't wish to offend anyone by saying that I share her thoughts, but I really do, no matter how well meaning everyone's comments are. So don't hate me ok - any of you other parents who've told me you don't know how I coped - I do what I have to do, as would you.
You can check out the article here.
YES! YES! YES! Great article!
ReplyDeleteThe comments like that make me feel even worse. They are undeserved, I think, because I too do what I have to do. There really is no other answer, is there?
Thanks for the link and ditto on the feelings.
ReplyDeleteMost of my respose's are I just do it's all I know.
Now I can comment! I am so excited! That was a great piece I enjoyed reading it, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love this! And the swearing! I too am FULL of imperfect and far, far from heroic words spilling little ounces of stress out of my head and into the world :) A surprising contrast to my Momma persona but darn does it feel good!
