hi - i just wanted to pass on my experience to some of you who may find yourselves in a similar situation; facing grief at the same time as the birth of a child. i lost my mum last year to brain/lung cancer. Mum was given 12 weeks to live but defied all odds and lived for a further 7 months. Finally she ran out of strength and died 2 weeks after my baby was born. Thankfully she was able to cuddle her and also wrote her a letter to keep from her grandma.
i guess my message is that if you find yourself in or facing a similar situation to have courage. It's been a very tough year and i miss my mum terribly but it has also been wonderful. A baby can make you smile even when you are at your saddest..believe that you will manage and the pain does get easier.
ps - just found out i am pregnant again .. i know mum would be very proud of our growing family!
