Sam,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious little man Michael.
Don't ever stop denying him... he is your son and he is entitled to an acknowledgement no matter how uncomfortable it makes others feel... if it feels right to you, I say do it.
I acknowledge and talk about Noah all the time... but that is mostly to the people who matter to me, they also ask questions and talk about him too... the other's feel uncomfortable, so I don't allow them the honour of knowing more about my precious angel baby.
It has been over 2 years since I lost Noah and I still cry for him... I cried for him yesterday actually. Everyone has their good and bad days, there are huge things that remind us of our loss, and there are little things too. As the other ladies have mentioned, it is a pain that truly doesn't go away, and we have the right to be upset at times.
I am very glad you have found bellybelly... we will be here to let you cry on our shoulders and listen to you when you need to vent.
Huge hugs to you
Lisa
