Comment on Nearly the end of the year by Maddy

Sam I understand your feelings about christmas, especially this year with all that has happened in the past 2 years. I cannot imagine how alone it must feel when there is no big family around you at christmas, especially when you can still feel the hole in your life left by the babies you have lost and long for.
I always feel honoured to read your blogs because you write with such honesty.
I truly do wish you a happy, healthy and fulfilled 2009 - I know the words are over used and empty but they are sent with love and warmth. I hope this is your year and your dreams are answers.
Take care of yourself. You are a wonderful person, never forget that.

Sam, I understand that you feel drained, sadenned and embittered to the world around you at large. But you really must consider what you are saying here. Bearing in mind that you post in an open forum, where strangers, friends and family alike can all read what you write, you should read your own words and try to imagine how you would feel if a family member wrote such things about you. We all care about you and nobody means you harm by sending you messages at Christmas. For Carl and I to have not included you in our thoughts would have been the negative outcome. I don’t know who, other than the members of your family who you have provided the address of this blog to, read this, but I hope that, like me, they accept your motives for writing what you write, and understand that you do not mean literally everything you say; if you did then we would have a problem.

Hi Same, Wow, what a hard encounter to read, brought tears to my eyes, especially when your going through a miscarriage at the time. I felt like I was there with you. This must have been the hardest thing you have ever had to wrote down, yet in some ways I feel it brought you relief and comfort too. Heart hurts and goes out to you and your family xxx

Sam - just talk to him. I don’t know how much longer you can go on like this. And what is going on in your mind is probably even worse then any conversation can go. In your head it seems as though you’ve convinced yourself that he will not want to try again, but in reality he might want to. He might also, be anticipating this conversation himself, and maybe that that is why he seems a bit more agitated because he can’t relax. And if the answer isn’t what you want it to be - then at least you have it out in the open. He now knows what is going on in your head. Would it be easier for you to write it all down, exactly how you feel and email it to him? I know it doesn’t sound very personal, but sometimes we can explain ourselves better when we know we wont be interupted and when we can articulate ourselves in words. I’m thinking of you honey and I wish I could be there for you and help you with this. Wish I wasn’t on the other side of the world feeling helpless. Love you. E x

hi hunny, i hope you dont mind but read through your posts on bounty then followed this link to here, i think you are a tremendous person for having the courage to write this account and also support the girls on bounty the way you do. i pray angel finley is watching over you and that you gain strength from the love you have for him. i cant imagine your pain as i never got that far with my pregnancy i lost my angels in 2003 at 9 weeks so no scan pics etc to remember them by and my family and hubbys family never mention them now. i never grieved properly for my lost babies till this yr the 5th anniversary, i found bounty by accident and now come here most days the girls including yourself have given support and advice and i now feel a healing inside but a memory that i can now live with and enjoy my children i have had since my m/c. i hope in time your pain eases and life is then good to you, i think its so cruel so many lovely people go through such tradegy. god bless you and give you strength and courage to keep fighting on. lots of love julie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
