I have a wonderful boyfriend to turn to and a great best friend. I also have a sitter. It is the struggle with myself that is so hard. Eric is very involved with our lives but I prefer to deal with these emotions on my own.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788395840121612086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219689204618160493.post-75711825286105209982011-04-28T08:11:27.242-06:002011-04-28T08:11:27.242-06:00You are definitely not alone.

No one who does not live this life can possibly imagine, though there are some who will empathize. Denial is the first stage of the grieving process, anger another stage. It is normal to feel this way and actually a good thing that you can now get in touch with your feelings. Maybe you can turn to your ex-husband regarding this, as you mentioned he did grieve. He may be one of the only ones who can understand this; hope one day you can depend on him; she is his child also. If you do not have a family member to turn to, you are going to need a backup like a babysitter, etc. you can train, because at some point you may need backup... not even thinking emotionally, just physical, hands-on help. You can always turn to a therapist for emotional help; in fact, I think a therapist would be more helpful in this regard. Your on-line peeps understand; but you are going to need to have people you can call to watch Lilly, if need be. And maybe give you a few hours off for you time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219689204618160493.post-85967106446826440692011-04-28T05:14:14.758-06:002011-04-28T05:14:14.758-06:00Thanks Reyna!

I have some wonderful friends and family to lean on but I just don't feel like I can talk to anyone about this shit...I know y'all get it though.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788395840121612086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219689204618160493.post-7519920730094290772011-04-28T03:51:52.741-06:002011-04-28T03:51:52.741-06:00Also, I want to add...that I think that the grief ...Also, I want to add...that I think that the grief of this diagnosis can come and go depending on the person and what is going on in their life. I had a dickens of a time the first year and a half...now it comes and goes. For the most part I am fine...but sometimes I still get pissed. I am just adding this so you know you are not alone. xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219689204618160493.post-63914511548205304812011-04-28T03:50:11.336-06:002011-04-28T03:50:11.336-06:00Kimberly...first off, I hear you. Please feel fre...Kimberly...first off, I hear you. Please feel free to vent away on here. It is important to get these feelings out. I think what you described above is one of the many reasons I started my blog. I was hurting and I was frustrated that so many people in my "real" life didn't get it. So, BB was started to "educate" any of my friends willing to read....and it has helped. My sister just said a week ago, that she thought she got it ... but then realized she didn't get it until reading my blog. I am fortunate to be surrounded by many who will care enough to take the time to read. UGH. I am not sure if your situation is even that. It sounds like the people in your life would not even take the time to do that.<br /><br />Once again...after Hallie's incident with Sweets and the recent deaths and the bullshit on the platter that we are forced to deal with daily...INSULIN IS NOT A CURE...far, far from it.<br /><br />Love to you friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.com
