I think that having something to focus your frustration on (ceramic plates and what not) is a very cathartic thing. <br />I totally understand you when you talk about how you always thought you would be a mother who did not allow being a mother to consume briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703767053224975771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760134077739485292.post-10768325170176017042010-12-01T14:54:08.152-08:002010-12-01T14:54:08.152-08:00hi sarah

I wish I had answers to some of the lingering questions as I am searching for them myself. <br />I think you have a great deal more strength than I do. I love in the land of in between- and of those wretched 2WW's. Why the hell can I not be mindful- be present today instead of looking to the past or the future.

I'm with you, I never envisioned motherhood becoming my sole goal and it hit home reading this remembering my convo with my supervisor about promotional opportunities. I don't care about any of that, I just want a living baby. I love that E bought you smashing utensilsMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215595176820577303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760134077739485292.post-47581018226245593552010-11-30T15:44:25.940-08:002010-11-30T15:44:25.940-08:00I think of you and your Otis and Erik too all the ...I think of you and your Otis and Erik too all the time. Like I breathe you in and carry you all with me. I miss him through you. I miss you--and I don't mean the "you" that I'd get to be in more contact with if Otis here here, I mean the "you" that you miss, that seems to have gotten lodged somewhere. Missing kind of implies a temporary going away though, and that æhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14449465426164797433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760134077739485292.post-14006351414480870662010-11-30T14:53:59.237-08:002010-11-30T14:53:59.237-08:00You have done it again, captured this shitty exper...You have done it again, captured this shitty experience so perfectly and eloquently.

I still do a bit - it seems like a whole different life that I wasn't a grieving mother. <br /><br />That's a great birthday present - hope the smashing relieves some pressure for you. <br /><br />Your last paragraph - so beautiful.

I have a child to attach to here in the present but it still doesn't work for me.

I read the whole thing and I agree with everything you wrote. <br /><br />The crisis of identity and lack of self assuredness that showed up after Charlotte died shocked me. I felt like I was 15 again and I couldn't figure out how to integrate my new and old personality. Honestly, I still can't figure out how to integrate them,Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426410846093760653noreply@blogger.com
