honey I'm so wishing you the most love envelouping your heart to help take the sharp edge of the pain away. This day is an incrediably sad one honey, it's your day to embrace the grief of your little one... altho I think we grieve everyday to varying degrees that goes without saying.
I'm with you, thought I'd have a successful pregnancy growing inside by or before EDD's... sometimes I think those expectations let us down 10 millions times more on top of our EDD when they come.
Here's a poem I came across and wanted to share with you honey....
A Birth Healing Blessing
Blessed sister, beautiful one
with broken wings.
Your journey is a difficult one
that no mother should have to endure.
Your path is steep, rocky and slippery
and your tender heart is in need of gentle healing.
Breathe deeply and know that you are loved.
You are not alone,
though at times, you will feel like a
desolate island of grief
untouchable
distant.
Close your eyes.
Seek the wisdom of women who have walked this well-worn path before you,
before,
and before,
and before you yourself were born.
These beautiful ones
with eyes like yours
have shared your pain, and
weathered the storms of loss.
You are not alone (breathe in)
You will go on (breathe out)
Your wings will mend (breathe in)
You are loved (breathe out)
