BabyGrief's Purpose

Pain


The pain of burying an unborn child (whether burying in the mind or in the cemetery) is uncomparable to any other type of suffering. There's nothing wrong with feeling pain. In fact, the way to "cure" your pain is to feel it--intensely, shockingly, deeply--and after much time, in a small, scarred way.

Someone you love has died. It is natural to feel that loss expressed in pain. Physical pain, emotional pain, mental pain--these are normal ways for our minds and bodies to deal with tragedy.

At the beginning of your grief, the pain is often too much and threatens to crush you. Don't get discouraged. Someday the pain will lesson, becoming a familiar twinge when something sparks the memory of your baby and your experience. This is a blessing in disguise; the pain validates your grief and reminds you of one of the things that make you who you are.
