More than a half year out from losing Mira and I find I am
struggling with different battles at this point than in the very beginning. I would like to be proactive and share some
of those struggles in my effort to share grief in an open and honest way.
I am having to actively fight against isolating myself. A battle I did not entirely foresee. I have gone from having a passion to share my
grief in an effort to make infant loss less of a taboo subject, to these last several weeks having to
force myself to share these deep feelings and struggling with thoughts of what
others may think of me. I have to remind
myself that the writing and the sharing is good for me. That it will help. That maybe it will help someone else. Even just one other person who could relate
and feel less alone would be worth it.
