Before you all vanish, I just wanted to thank you for the small bits of advice here and there that you gave me when I popped in losing my mind. It is so hard, so unbelievably incredibly hard to do this mummy gig when your life has been touched by the awful reality of babyloss.
Thank you all so much. If any of you would like another facebook friend, mine is open.
Jayne - Your words are have touched my heart deeper than you know. Luv you.
This is my last post here too. I hope that another group of strong women take up the most fulfilling position of helping those that have suffered loss. You've got massive shoes to fill but I have faith that there will be some level of support here.
Jayne - Absolutely loved your post hun.. you're incredible and hopefully we'll find a way to get you onto FB.. otherwise, we'll devise another plan.. as things aren't the same without you around.
Everyone else... this saddens me so much and will also be my last post. I can't beleive it's come to this.. you have all helped me more than you'll ever know.. this place got me through some pretty tough times too... never thought it would end like this. So disappointing. Anyway.. as everyone else keeps saying.. see you on the flip side... LOL! You're all amazing and our journey will continue... and it WILL be better than ever!!!
I don't know if you guys even remember this but I petitioned the mods to create this thread. We only had the pregnancy threads for a long time and then after all our babies were born we were all kind of floating about with no real 'home'. It was after the BB newsletter where Spring's birth story was published and there was an article about the difficulties of parenting after loss. So I put on my big girl panties and, knowing they'd rejected the idea many, many times before, asked for this Parenting after Loss thread. And they LISTENED, they actually listened and followed through with it. I was so overjoyed to finally have a proper home for us to continue our journeys together. And oh what journeys they have been huh??
So yeah, I'm sad. Very, very sad. And although I have had other safe corners on BB throughout the years, none have ever compared to this one. This has alwasy been HOME.
But I have seen this coming. I knew my time on BB was coming to an end, I've known it for a long time. You girls were the only reason I kept coming back. And so I am grateful that we have reached the point in our journey where our friendships have outgrown these boards and spread out into our 'real' lives in the big bad world outside. So this isn't good bye really. It's 'be seeing you'.
