I think you (and so many others) are making a positive change in our time by sharing your story and making the topic less taboo.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12316978989809741699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-38283759027716952032010-08-04T09:49:22.470-04:002010-08-04T09:49:22.470-04:00i'm so sorry you can't find out the answer...i'm so sorry you can't find out the answers to those questions emily. i wish you could.<br />xxBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12523875341438470968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-21754505017306849272010-08-04T05:36:22.850-04:002010-08-04T05:36:22.850-04:00It's really sad to know that your grandmother ...It's really sad to know that your grandmother is a baby loss mother, too. But being unable to remember details of her loss now is truly heartbreaking. As mothers who lost babies, we strive to keep their memories alive. But who will do it for us if, like your grandmother, we lose the capacity to remember? It's a good thing we have our blogs to record the stories about our children and how much they are loved and remembered. It's too bad that this tool wasn't available in our grandparents' time.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278978595597146145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-43646945044094731842010-08-03T23:03:59.189-04:002010-08-03T23:03:59.189-04:00:sigh: that's such a terrible thing, to not re...:sigh: that's such a terrible thing, to not remember who you are and what you have been through. :( <3 I'm sorry you couldn't make the connection you hoped for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-82841269465720703222010-08-03T23:03:08.412-04:002010-08-03T23:03:08.412-04:00i went through this alienation through alzheimer&#...i went through this alienation through alzheimer's with my grandfather, and i know how hard it is to see someone you love turn into a different person who does not even know you. it is so sad to have family history lost to senility or death just because it didn't occur to anyone to get the details when it was still possible.<br /><br />knowing that her lost baby existed and yet that she cannot tell you about it must be so frustrating.<br /><br />i'm also glad you get to spend time with her now.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450929181331922606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-90953827406340448992010-08-03T21:51:37.870-04:002010-08-03T21:51:37.870-04:00Alzheimer's is a terrible, terrible disease. ...Alzheimer's is a terrible, terrible disease. I'm sorry for her, and for your family. I often wonder how other, older women survived babyloss. What they did to cope. How they feel about the whole experience decades later. I'm sorry you won't be able to ask your grandmother about that.<br /><br />I'm glad you are able to spend time with her - and that there are still fragments of her personality left.Violet1122https://www.blogger.com/profile/05470143683967710014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-77572639790369242492010-08-03T16:53:52.828-04:002010-08-03T16:53:52.828-04:00Hello, I am new to your blog, and I love it. I lo...Hello, I am new to your blog, and I love it. I lost my little boy to HLHS at 29 weeks and 1 day. We found out about his HLHS at 28 weeks. Your little Aiden is adorable! <br /><br />To comment on your blog... maybe God has that purpose, to have her forgot the pain of her loss for now. BUT, when she returns to the hands of God, she will remember, as her little baby will be there waiting for her. Maybe God's plan is to surprise her with that gift when she returns to him.Wyatt's Mommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319404957016434879noreply@blogger.com
