If life were a book the chapter would be drawing to a close here.
This short chapter of my life certainly hasn't been a dull one, or an easy one, but it has been a life changing one. I have experienced the hardest thing i've ever had to go through and am only today starting to feel like i'm pulling through.
From today I am writting a new chapter, and I don't for one second beleive it will be easy, or that I will wake up one day and have laid all my pain to rest, however I know the positive progress that I am making by even trying to tie up the ends.
I feel that my limbo has finally ended, with my body now back to normal and my figure starting to look more and more like its old self there is no more looking back, only forward. Daily there are still difficult personal struggles, but I am starting to experience occasions when my mind has other things in the forefront of my brain, and have accepted that if this hadn't have happened earlier there would have been complications later.. my heart is taking it's time, but very slowly its starting to catch up.

Funnily enough I wrote my Dear Self post all about what I would tell my future self to enable me to be strong, and took note of life experiences that I think to this day have made me a stronger person; if only i'd have known within a few weeks i'd be finding out I was pregnant and would subsequently have to suffer a miscarriage that almost tore me apart. I wrote about how all I wanted to do was marry my partner and have a family with him, that at 23 I knew I was to be with him forever. Through the joy of finding out we were pregnant and then the agony of loosing our baby not once has our love suffered, the rollercoaster we've been through has only cemented our relationship and future together.
What I have learned throughout this whole process is that life is short, unfair and emotions are pleanty. My motto 'Life is to short for endless plans and worries, just be' has never been more applicable to me than for this next chapter of my life, to truly move on with my life and not follow a destructive path will need me to focus on the positivity of my situations, to not worry about the future and more emportantly than all else to just go with my life, with my partner and for one day to end up with the family we are both more than ready for.
And so on to the next chapter, goodbye to the pain, the anger and to the part of me that will always be missing. On to the future filled with love, happiness, new experiences and to one day having truly moved on.
I will always have a place in my heart especially for you, my suprise, my first, but today I need to say goodbye to you, my darling.
Oh gosh Victoria this has me in tears.
ReplyDeleteEspecially your closing speech.
So very sad!
I am sure one day you will have a little bundle of joy and although you will never forget your precious baby you will somehow move on.
It must be so hard. I have not experienced anything like this BUT I have not got any children and I am 39 soon and don't know if I ever will. To be honest I really did not want any for years its only been the past year when I have felt the time has been right.
Too late I suppose.
You my lovely have plenty of time and your whole life ahead of you.
Best wishes for the future

This post made me cry :( I feel so much for you and I am so pleased to read the strength in your words. Your motto is one that inspires me-when I first found your blog it's what hooked me in and made me think; sometimes we sweat the small stuff too much and get caught up in plans, we can forget to enjoy the moment. You should be so proud of yourself and the way you've handles what must have been a horrendous situation. It's not goodbye forever-you'll meet again one day.xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post in terms of what you've wrote (not the subject) i'm glad you can finally start a new chapter in your life. Even though you feel like you can say goodbye now you will always have a special place in your heart for this little person and you will hold on to that love forever. One day you'll have more kids that will join your first and you'll love them just as much. Until then enjoy your life and your new chapter xxx
ReplyDeleteThankyou all so much, I was astounded to read such kindness from you and had to stop from crying.
ReplyDeleteYou have all helped me greatly through this time, and sometimes someone telling you everything will be okay helps.
I'm going to try and focus on busying myself, going places, spending ample time with my partner and continuing to use this blog as a diary, which is what it seems to have become.
Please all know how much you have helped, I can't express it enough, and hope to continue to have contact :) xxxx
thanks for the book recommendations:)

What a powerful post this was. I think it's just a testament to how powerful the human spirit is and as cliched as it sounds what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and everything happens for a reason.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think of how many women you can help by just telling your story. It's really amazing. I'm so sorry for your loss but at the same time I wishing you all the happiness and love in this new chapter in your life.
