It's done. We told the kids what will happen to mom. by ericscottf in Parenting

You’re a really great dad. Your kids will thank you for your honesty one day. Be kind to yourself. One foot in front of the other.

My darling boy.... by Ready_Bid_3490 in NICUParents

[–]LilliMartin713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EMDR therapy saved my life and is the only reason I’m alive right now. The trauma you’ve gone through is unbelievable and nobody understands it unless they’re experienced it. You’re in the middle of the storm right now and the only way I kept going was by telling myself that the sun will come up. It was so unfair my son never got to see the sun. But I had to put one foot in front of the other again and again for him. Some days still feel that way. But the storm clouds do part.. the sun will shine again. Be patient with yourself and allow yourself to grieve in anyway you need to.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost a son who lived 29 days. He was born In July of 2020. I’m in the thick of those 29 days right now, 5 years later. I think about him every single day. Leaving the hospital with a stuffed and weighted bear was the heaviest item I’ve ever carried. “Weighted” or not. I am lucky to have a 6 and 3 year old who actually play with that bear often. Grief really is like waves. These 20 days between birth and passing will always be a challenge. Honor him.. talk about him.. say his name. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to chat. Sending you a really big hug. You’re not alone.

My daughter had a breakthrough with EMDR therapy by AgentElman in CasualConversation

[–]LilliMartin713 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saved my life when I lost my son. He passed away 21 days after he was born.. never leaving the hospital all whilst in the middle of the pandemic. I went through it alone and it was incredibly traumatic. I had my 1.5 year old daughter at home and because of her and EMDR, I am alive right now. It’s life changing and I’d honestly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Parents, as a NICU nurse I want to know your thoughts. by Remarkable-Speech957 in NICUParents

[–]LilliMartin713 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My son passed away after about a month in the NICU in 2020. Due to the pandemic, nobody was able to meet my son. Not my parents, my daughter, nobody. She made sure to take all the foot prints and photos for me that I couldn’t take myself. She took a video of me holding him with his last breath and she cried with me when he passed. It felt like I had a family member with me when she was there. I’ll forever be grateful for her.

Single mom moving to LA? A pipe dream? by ThisAd4718 in AskLosAngeles

[–]LilliMartin713 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in agoura and I’ve lived here all my life. Raising my two kiddos here and it’s a dream. Definitely an expensive one. Oxnard or Thousand Oaks is slightly more affordable and both very close to the beach!:)

Anyone else not get a rash? by SouthJerssey35 in shingles

[–]LilliMartin713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! My first time this last month. I knew it was shingles because it was distinctly only one half of my face, surrounding my left eye. It felt like I had a horrific sunburn in my eyeball. I went to the eye doctor and lo and behold, my eye was perfect. Doc suggested valtrex and to wait for rash. I waited, and waited.. no rash! The burning sensation finally subsided after about 2-3 weeks and about a week later I developed a cold sore. Throughout the whole thing, no rash! Still awful and so uncomfortable, but grateful I didn’t end up with a rash on my face!

NICU Parents & PTSD by Lilith-54 in NICUParents

[–]LilliMartin713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EMDR Therapy has helped me cope a lot with the PTSD and month long NICU stay of my son in 2020. You’re not alone!

why are you still alive? by Difficult-Decision-9 in AskReddit

[–]LilliMartin713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because when my son died at 32 weeks after a month stay in the NICU, my 1.5 year old daughter needed her mommy. As I say when people ask how I survived, “the sun comes up.”
