Blog Post Retrospective:
A Promise To My Beautiful Daughter
Sharing Parents Version | My Pregnancy Process
It's August 2018, Trinity Marie would've have been 8 months this month to be exact. I often think of her at any hour of the day especially in the evenings wondering if she is watching over us, her mother (and father), while she rests in peace. I've been more open to conversations about Trinity. Especially when I get asked if you have kids. I make sure I remember to say yes, "I'm a bereaved mother." Not all know what that is, it's not a common thing to say. So an explanation is normally provided thereafter. So far, maybe it's the beautiful summer weather, but time has really helped me move on and heal, not completely, that's for sure, but I can tell I'm feeling alive and well again. The month of November 2017 was the hardest month of our lives. But this post is not for looking back, it's about being able to move forward. Whoever out there is going through a similar situation, I hope you find this blog post helpful. That there is a light a the end of the tunnel. Listening to music lately has been extremely helpful. Although it can be interpreted as a love song, this song from Calum Scott tremendously reminds me of our Trinity Marie.
You Are The Reason by Calum Scott
Below is also a quote I found on Pinterest regarding grief.
Doing what is right for my soul by giving myself the time and space to heal by surrounding myself with appropriate family and close friends who show nothing but tremendous support during this time of my life. Remembering that grief has no time frame, there is no rule book, it's as individual as you, like your very own fingerprint and even footprint. You're forever in my heart, mind and soul Trinity. Love your Mom, Marissa.
Thank you so much for reading.
