Tomorrow is LB's birthday. Tonight the boys are in bed and the house is quiet. My DH is away on business.
I was talking to the mother of twins today. We are at the same daycare. The twins birthday is this month too. She mentioned in passing that there had been another, who didn't survive the 3 months too early birth. It ripped me wide open. I told her that I was sorry for her loss. I told her about mine. She suggested that we get together for coffee some time. I wondered whether I could do it without crying.
Tonight I am missing the unknown ones. The ones that didn't make it. The one's that didn't get to stay. I am crying as I write this. I don't even know if they were boys or girls. I never gave them names. I think that I hoped that would lessen the grief. You know the mantra. "Don't think about it. Don't talk about it. Focus on the good. Move on."
The grief just surprised me. There is so much happiness in my life. Somehow I thought that I had let that go.
Where ever you are my babies, Mummy misses you.

Moments like those catch me unaware as well and I think that's what makes them more powerful. They are unedited emotions and it's OK to remember and grieve.
I don't think i could get through that conversation without crying. So sorry for her and your losses.
