Blog entry - Holding onto Hope
This last week has been emotional for me, been feeling lonely, miss our family, miss our friends. Feeling like I'm having Covid burnout, Grief burnout, and a little bit of Pump burnout.
Keep in mind pumping milk in memory of Noelle is actually my happy place, it is where I am at peace and feel connected to Noelle. However when you're consistently having milk clogs, nipple aches, and frustrations surrounding pumping, it takes some of the joy out of the experience.
I realize so many are burnt out right now. Not many have reached out to us since the first few weeks since Noelle passed. This week marks the 10th week since she was born and died, since I began pumping milk... Life has not been the same.
I am looking forward to warmer days and hopefully seeing people again outside of the house. Perhaps if we go to a park or a place outdoors it will be possible.
Until then my family and I continue to heal after loss. This can be a lonely journey.
If you know someone experiencing the depths of loss, please remember if they don't reach out to you before or after it could be because of grief. Allowing time to grieve and heal is important. Reminding them they are not alone and/or visiting, listening, supporting them is also important.
Thank you to all who have reached out to us and supported us in so many ways.
