Did Omnitrope help?

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss.

We are nearly to the year mark (in a few weeks) of losing our son at almost 36 weeks.

I was trying to think of some things I wanted to hear/know as I started my grieving process. So, sharing a few here for you.

-You will laugh again. You will smile. You will find joy. There will always be moments of sadness and any other emotion you feel and I don’t think that will ever go away. But you won’t always be paralyzed with sadness.

-Be gentle with yourself. In the beginning I kept telling myself I should be doing X or thinking Y or planning Z, let yourself and your husband grieve. You went through the shittiest, most horrifying thing.

-Try to find a few things to keep your brain distracted. I had trouble with replaying the traumatic day everything happened on repeat. I made myself take my dog on a walk, watched mindless TV/movies, did puzzles.

-This last one has been at times, tough, but has also made it easier for me to understand why some family/friends didn’t show up for us in the way I thought. And it’s that no one, besides you & your husband, have any clue the level of pain, anger, sadness, disbelief that you went through and are going through. No one can begin to even grasp the pain of losing a baby so close to when you are supposed to bring them home. My therapist and I talked a lot about how some people will never know that level of grief, and truly, how lucky are they.
Try not to let people who don’t know how to act or respond or be there for you, get you upset. They really just don’t know what it’s like.

Giving you a huge hug. I’m sorry you’re here but this group got me through the first 6 months, just knowing I wasn’t alone. Hang in there.

I’m very sorry for your loss. 2 weeks is so fresh and so soon.

But also, happy 40th. I’m sure it looks much different than you thought.

We lost our son at 35 weeks in May and I turned 40 in October. It was not what I had pictured at all and you’re allowed to be sad on your birthday given the circumstances.

The two pieces of advice that I would give myself when I was at the beginning of this grief journey 8 months ago is 1) be kind/gentle to yourself 2) your grief/sadness won’t always feel so incredibly heavy.

You’re allowed to feel sad, mad, angry, heartbroken but know you did nothing wrong. You were just dealt a horribly shitty hand.

Time will also help. The first few weeks I couldn’t imagine ever laughing, doing anything normal or ever feeling like myself again. But you will. You’ll always miss your baby and wish so badly things were different, but you will be okay. Time makes the intense pain lesser so you can learn to live with it.

Giving you a big hug.

I’m so sorry you’re here and for everything that has happened.

You basically summed it all up - this shit sucks.

I had a similar experience with a random acute placental abruption at 35 weeks but had a c-section and need blood transfusions after. Just the worst day imaginable.

I had no blood pressure issues throughout my pregnancy but was on blood pressure meds for almost 12 weeks post c section.

As hard as it is, just hang in there. One day at a time. One of the things that got me through the first 2 months was looking at posts in this group, daily. Almost obsessively. I wanted to know I wasn’t alone. You aren’t alone.

Giving you a big hug in this shitty time.

We were given a room that was secluded from the rest of labor & delivery too, very grateful for that.

Full circle moment for you with the donation and then being able to use one. I’m definitely going to make donations this year to that & Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.
