I am an expecting my first baby and despite the fact that i didnt want this to happen in the first place, i can never imagine losing her now.. i remember not feeling her move for a few days and i was so worried. I know no matter how much i try to emphatize with you or try to imagine your hurt, I can never feel it enough to feel the same pain you went through. I admire you for surviving through all of it. before I even started to read the rest of your blog, I was already crying when i read your profile.

Like Christmas or my birthday. I think of dad who was always there for me. I miss him so much. But unlike the death of my son, I was prepared for dad's death...he was sick for 10 years. I miss my loved ones. My father died of stroke too and I never really thought much about his loss until certain triggers hit me. Like Christmas or my birthday.

Years of smoking and heavy drinking took a toll on his body. He was 53. I came home to visit him. Two months after the stroke, he died. I wasn't there by his side, as I have gone back here in Canada. I don't think that I really grieved at that time. I was sad of course. It was in 2002 when I started a family website that I wrote about him. I remembering sobbing while I was writing that piece. All my emotions about my childhood and painful past brought about his drinking problem came back and I sobbed just like a baby. I think that was the start of my grieving process. 11 years after he died. I still continue to write or journal about him but I don't sob anymore. Well, sometimes, once in a while, I still get choked up. But journalling definitely helped. My father had a stroke and was paralyzed in early 1991.
