The other end I had in view turns out to have been based on a misunderstanding. I thought I could describe a state; make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state but a process. It needs not a map, but a history...C.S. Lewis

Mommy loves you Robert, and I am so sorry. I miss you so much!!!

I am writing this blog not just as a way to me to give my sorrow its history, but to maybe help those who are going through the same sad journey. If you are reading this and know someone who needs to know they are not alone in their sorrow, please feel free to share it.

It feels like not only has a scab been removed, but cut open and cut deeper.  I thought after Robbie died my heart couldn't shatter anymore.  I thought I couldn't hurt that badly once the scab began to heal.  But I was wrong.  Now I am mourning two sons, not just one.  And all the while I compare myself to where I was this time with Robbie (weight wise, emotional wise, how capable I was of leaving the house at certain days after the d & e).  And I feel guilt because I feel like this new hurt about Rango is overshadowing the grief for Robbie that is still present.  That while I want either, (preferably both) of my boys with me, I know that Robbie didn't come back, and neither will Rango.
This pain, this grief is indescribable.  There aren't words to express what I am thinking or feeling.
