    Sorry your day has been so dark, Betty - and nobody would judge you for struggling to interact with your little boy. I hope you have some support and help, and I'm glad you're planning to see your GP. Lay it down the line how awful you're feeling.

    Take care of yourself and I hope the next few days go ok

    love from MsB x

    I can't add to the above ^^^ just agree totally x

    I did the same thing Ro. Just watched a ton of films. Anything to just have 5 minutes of not thinking or crying. I never lasted the whole film but it was helpful. Apart from a dumb film we watched where a woman had a scan & the baby was an alien.

    We were talking about the Argos advert on the ttc thread it annoys us all on there too. I switched it off when I saw a scan on the screen I can't bear it.

    My OH is very supportive and he encourages me to talk t him about things, its just the mental block I seem to have when it comes to talking. I know he has found it hard too but he has been so strong for me. I feel like I am crazy for being so emotional, I know other people go through far worse and I almost feel guilty for being so emotional if that makes any sense? x

    I felt exactly the same at the time, but you are not crazy neither was I, you are allowed to be upset, I particularly thought this when it happened out of the blue but looking back it was a process I had to go through x

    I'm glad watching films helped you too, my film choices are usually not that great either sometimes!

    I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't seen the upsetting Argos advert :o I do switch the channels over a lot during adverts :o x

    Sorry to hear that Claire - hope the day passes as quickly as possible. Cry if you need to cry, it may help you feel better.

    Will be thinking of you today

    Hi Claire,

    Big hugs for you. I found the actual day quite hard, but afterwards everything seemed a little easier somehow. I think because there were no 'deadlines' looming if you see what I mean.

    Are you doing anything to mark the date? We sent a Chinese lantern up with a letter from me and DD and we had a little ceremony of sorts in the back garden. Writing the letter was hard - but therapeutic too.

    Lots of hugs for everyone else struggling with losses too. xx
