I was reading another angel mommy blog tonight, and I came across this:
But when I read it at the time I just thought "oh, that is nice." And
pushed it aside. In the months, and years, following, I would read their
words, find comfort, and sob. But at that point feelings had started to
turn off. My brain couldn't handle the overload anymore. It was too
much. I think that is why so often people say others forget or they feel
abandoned. Because at the time of the loss, the love and support is all
immediate. And it is almost too much. As time moves forward and you are
able to process thing and truly grieve, others have stopped the
outpouring. You often need it more 6 months down the road then you do 3
days into the process.
That's it.
