Penny,
Thank you for your gentle words. Thank you for understanding & being supportive of my grief.
No one is specifically telling me to "get over it" - it's probably my fear & paranoia projecting onto others. But I know the impatience I've felt when others seemed to be preoccupied with a topic. Perhaps I've learned to be more sensitive to others through this, & to be more patient & understanding of others grief & suffering in general.
But I can imagine I'll always reserve a place in my heart & my memory for this little one I've had to surrender before I was ready. I've "birthed" a child in a different way than before... this one is forever an eternal creature, rather than first a mortal one. He's happy now, & wouldn't want to return to me if he could. He knows, & I know, that I'll join him one day when my time & purpose here ends. Until then, I'll miss him, but not with the devastation of complete loss. This separation is only temporary - my real home is where he is now. All of this, including grief, pain, loss, suffering & death will pass away. Amen!
Thanks again for your kindness - you touched my heart as well.
Shalom, Dena
