I do hope that when you wrote that letter to all of us that you did get a sense of peace and got the love and support from all of us that you needed. You my dear niece ARE NOT a fraud!!! You are one of the most upfront, loving, compassionate, generous person that I know and can only say that I am blessed and honored to be able to say "That's my niece" and I love her!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819142186663515584.post-85342609137920492462013-02-13T23:19:18.585-08:002013-02-13T23:19:18.585-08:00Grieving over a loss isn't something that just...Grieving over a loss isn't something that just ends or something you magically move on from. I'm almost a year from my loss and I still sometimes cry over my lost little boy. When you add in how hard you had to fight to have that chance, it just makes it worse.<br /><br />Do what you need to do, honey. If that means crying in bed at night or in the shower in the morning (my favorite place to cry) then do it. If it means writing the letter to your family or putting it off for a little while do that, too. <br /><br />You are strong, even if you don't feel like it right now. You get out of bed every morning and go to work, despite the hurt. That right there is strength. <br /><br />Huge, huge HUGS!Anhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466386185394028783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819142186663515584.post-79935858215376550372013-02-13T22:12:42.999-08:002013-02-13T22:12:42.999-08:00Oh honey...you are so very strong.

But I always feel better after letting it out. Sometimes it is the only way. I hope writing the letter will be therapeutic for you and that you will be embraced with lots of support from you family!

There is no explanation for this, and you have a right to feel sad, frustrated, angry, and heartbroken. I will say a prayer right now that writing that letter will be therapeutic for you and that it will be met with soft hearts and encouragement.

You can still be a strong person and be sad, angry, or grieving. Do what you feel is best for YOU and what will give you a piece of mind. If you feel the need to write a letter than by all means do so. Perhaps the support you'll garner by sharing will help in the healing process.
