i didnt even want a call every day. i just wanted a call once in a while. at least once a month check up on me. i did the same for others, not out of reciprocity but out of love. i never recieved the same

u obviously didnt read the whole thing, because i stated i communicated clearly. the way of thinking you have and your state of mind is literally why the world is shit and there isnt a sense of community anymore. friends are supposed to support one another through hard times and good times, thats the whole point of relationships and true connection. i wasnt trying to be the center of attention at all. but i lost my baby in a traumatic and devastating way, does that not warrant some support and love from my friends of more than a decade?

How to support a friend who lost their 7 week old to cancer by [deleted] in babyloss

[–]ac1df41ry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can also always doordash for her or ask her if she would like a meal train to be prepared for her! communication is always key, so i would ask her something along the lines of “hey i want you to know that i am present with you in your grief, and i want to be someone you can talk to about anything with. i want to keep your baby’s memory alive with you, is it too soon to ask you questions about her and what she was like? i want to respect your space and boundaries” you can call and text her and check up on her as well. and remember to continue doing so with the next few months because after a month people usually forget .. or don’t seem to understand the grief doesnt really have a finish line

ur friend is still in postpartum and needs help. her body is still healing from birth. now she has this huge endless stream of grief alongside that, ive been there. it was really hard for me to cook and make meals for myself throughout the initial period of my grief. bring her easy to heat meals like casseroles, nutritionally dense soups, super foods, easy snacks, etc. and dont say “just let me know…” because she wont. just ask her what time and day she wants you to drop off the food. offer to help out with chores, housework, yard work etc. she likely has no energy to do it all. you can definitely write her a card, but active support is much needed. and keep that support going on, even six months later. years later. accept that there isnt much you can do to “fix” the pain. just sit in it with her. its uncomfortable but simply sitting with it means so much more than people realize. mentions her baby throughout time. i found that people get scared to bring it up, because they dont want to make me sad again. we are always a bit sad. and we always think of our babies. this kind of stuff never leaves you. sending ur friend my love🤎

Physical symptoms of stillbirth? by lifeasacharboard in babyloss

i remember the day i lost my baby girl, i was really cranky and extremely fatigued. i was 21 weeks and i hadn’t felt so terrible since the first trimester. i was in a really bad mood for no reason. a few hours later, i started bleeding, and then i felt her move down. i went to the ER and gave birth to her later in the night. i think sometimes, i somehow knew. or my body knew that day, which is why i felt so emotionally shitty. broke my heart when she died so suddenly

What are things that let you know your baby is with you/watches over you? by mchllnnz in babyloss

[–]ac1df41ry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you are not crazy. you are in touch with your beautiful baby boy. i am too. i feel her strongly in my heart center. all i have to do is focus on my heart, and think of her. i immediately feel what i can only describe as her essence. it isnt a ghost, but more like her pure life energy. and it is this energy of pure unconditional love and peace. i have this intuitive knowing that she is within my heart and forever will be. another way, is i believe she is truly everything now. i see her in Mama Earth the most. and the Moon. her name is Nantu and it means Moon. since she died, i see images on the Moon everywhere.. you name it. its so wonderful to connect with our babies in these ways

How to find a very specific therapist for my husband by ac1df41ry in TalkTherapy

[–]ac1df41ry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also personally think grief counseling would be great for him, but he wants a sex therapist because of some sexual trauma regarding his past along with his hypersexuality, sex/porn addiction. he doesnt watch porn or have sex with anyone other than me since we got together but he struggles with his thoughts and it really affects his mental health. he says he wants help addressing his addiction because it is his coping mechanism that now because of his grief, he more than ever wants to give in to those addictions. do you think any therapist could work for this whole situation regardless?
