How is your daughter doing? How are YOU doing?

Hi honeybunch,
We are doing okay. My daughter is of course having good days and bad days, but more good days overall. I think the funeral really helped her, it seemed to put a sense of closure to the baby's death, and the words spoken by the Father giving the service really helped us all.
My next step is supporting her while she figures out what her next step is! She had of course planned to be a mother, and now that that has changed, although she has gone back to work, she's undecided whether or not she wants to go back to college in the fall (my hope!
), or whether she wants to take a break for a while, or whether she wants to try again for another baby. So until she thinks through what she wants, I'm just here to lend an ear and support her. I feel pretty helpless about right now, and this has to be the worst part of motherhood~when you can't "fix" whatever is wrong in your childs world!
But we're doing okay, and taking each day one at a time.
Thank you for caring
Donna

Donna- I will remember your daughter in my prayers. I can not imagine the pain she is going thru, and the rest of your family.

Donna,
I just have to say I admire your positive outlook on life. You are always upbeat and positive (and consistently so!) in your posts in spite of personal trials. And you always take the time to encourage others.
I admire your outlook and I admire YOU!

Donna,
Can't imagine what you and your family has been thru. My heart hurts thinking about you and your family. Did not know what your going thru. This site really is unusual. It's not only a "workout" site but there is much caring and support here. Also humor!
Please continue to post. Even if it's been a really rough day we are here for you!

Thank you all so much for your support. This site is just so incredible. We not only support each other through our weight loss and/or fitness endeavors and trials, but through our personal ones as well. I value this site so much, as well as all of you. You are the best "cyber friends" in the world!

Donna,
I too have not been online for awhile & had no idea you & your daughter were suffering so. I can't imagine a worse pain for your daughter, but you are such a wonderful person, I know you will help her through it.
Make sure you take some time for your own pain. You & your family are in my thoughts & prayers too.

Donna,
I also haven't been checking in very often. I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I'll keep you in my prayers. The death of child is (I think) the hardest to accept. It's an unnatural progression...my mom never fully got over the death of my sister. And my sister, who had a stillborn, still felt a deep rift in her soul 30 years later. My heart and prayers go out to you both.
