A friend posted this on her FB today:
"I'm going to get out of bed every morning, breath in and out all day long, and after awhile I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed in the morning and breath in and out. And, then after awhile I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for awhile...." ~Sleepless In Seattle (when asked what he... was going to do after loss)
And, I am loving this quote by the wonderful Elizabeth Edwards, who lost her son Wade when he was just 16.
"If you know someone who has lost a child or lost anybody who's important to them, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died, they didn't forget they died. You're not reminding them. What you're reminding them of is that you remember that they lived, and that's a great, great gift.'"
Just wanted to share.

Elizabeth Edwards was such an amazing women and her words have helped provide a little bit of healing to me too. I'm learning that it is extremely difficult for most people to remember to remember Claire. I love the baby loss community for knowing, first hand, that it means the world to me to keep her memory alive.
