I think Juliet's birth so far has been the hardest triggering. They kept her in the nursery for hours after she was born and refused to tell me anything about why she was being kept so long. Homer had gone home and it was just me left in the hospital room all by myself again with my thoughts. So much the same, but so much different. I was a big sobbing mess. After Serafina was born, I also had a lot of memories of Bj's birth come back. Each year I am such a different person than I was before with my grief and loss work, so it wasn't too surprising that I had to rework through all of it again through different filters and experiences. With BeanBaby, I have emailed our church pastors to keep a close eye on both Homer and I once this baby is born. I gave them the heads up that they need to understand that birth triggers the loss memories and we need reaching out to. I also gave them the heads up of really reaching out even stronger had BeanBaby been a boy instead of a girl because that impact of revisiting emotions and memories would be new territory not explored before.

PPD after loss of first child to adoption. I am with you sister. Been there. Done that. If I can help in anyway, call, write, send a carrier pigeon. In the words of The Pretenders "Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Dont be ashamed to cry Let me see you through cause Ive seen the dark side too" Hugs.
