"Share some resources that have aided you in your healing journey."
I've received support from a lot of loved ones, both those who have experienced this type of loss and those who haven't but can imagine the pain. I would consider those who have also experienced pregnancy loss to be my biggest and most vital resource during this process. It saddens me to no end to know we are all part of this often unspoken club, but it's also comforting to know that I am not alone. I reach out to these women, and they throw me a floaty to grab onto when I feel I simply cannot stay above the water by myself any longer. We share a common bond, from near and far. I'm even apart of a Facebook group that branched off from my original January 2015 birth club. It consists of other women who were also due in January and now have their own angel babies to hold in their hearts forever. We talk about all sorts of things because we know that we can say whatever we need and it will be understood and acknowledged in a way that is so helpful. I cannot imagine this journey without their help in addition to the kind words of others who have shared their stories with me over the last few months. I am forever indebted to each and every one of them.
Other resources have aided my healing process as well. I came across CarlyMarie early on and was inspired by her ability to assist in others' healing via her beautiful photography. I soon realized I could learn a lot from the way she helps others. I've also enjoyed Still Standing Magazine. I plan to eventually watch Return to Zero someday too as I am told it is heartbreakingly therepeutic.
I'm sure there are others that have aided me along the way. The internet can be a great source of information when uses the right way!
