Asked to be at the birth

[Floweryfields]

Dianne, praying for peaceful dreams, memories and strength for you as you do this, you are amazing.

Hugs Dianne.
Winter said it beautifully, it's a wonderful thing for you to do if you are able, you are so generous and warm hearted , but don't do this at the expense of your own peace at heart.
On the other hand if you think you are able to do it or that it might be good for you to do it, then of course you of all people know what it will mean to this woman.

Either way it is just wonderful of you, to be providing support for her in whatever way you can . Just make sure you look after you, too

Winter's made a good point. Also, don't hesitate to sit down with a counsellor to work through what you're feeling. xo

I agree with Winter. I can't even imagine being where you are, so I apologise if I'm off the mark, but,
I think it would be good to think carefully about how this will affect you. Being at the birth will stir up a lot of memories and emotions, some you probably can't imagine or prepare for. It might be incrediblly healing but it might also be incredibly traumatic and heart-breaking (or both). I'll just say this, from a place of love, - your being there will be a great support to her, but ultimately it can't save her from experiencing the agony you experienced While is is wonderful that you can offer this lady support, you also have the right to do what's best for you. And that's something only you can decide.

I have read some other posts where you've offered support to other mothers of angel babies. You're truly so giving, and such an amazing person Dianne.
