Good Days and Bad Days

Time does not heal wounds, but it does put a salve on them. Here's a few things that have helped me help the healing along.
1. Pray. Good old-fashioned on your knees pour your heart out kind. You're not alone.
2. Friends and family. At first everyone almost overloads you with sympathy and offers of help, then after a little while they get on with their lives (as it should be). But if you need a shoulder, just ask for one. Last night I woke my husband up at 4am. I said, "Can I have a hug? All of the sudden I am sad again about the baby." It sounds cheesy (not so much at 4am), but I got my hug and felt the comfort I needed to sleep. If friends and family are in short supply, or it is hard for you to open up about this kind of stuff - sometimes its easier to do in a less personal enviroment - like this one!
3. I know that it is not good to dwell, says the person writing a blog about the subject. But I find writing this helps me get out what I need to for today, and not dwell. Journals are also good, or tape recordings, but only if it helps and not hinders.
4. A big one for me is talking to people who have been through similar circumstances, it really helps to know that I'm not the only one who has ever felt this way, and that's the real reason I started this blog.
