OR that something that I wrote had a direct impact upon my life via someone else choice to invade my privacy! I have gone through the censoring myself thing and it is just so wrong because, as you already stated... a blog is your personal space to vent, get angry, say what MUST be said and get it out of your head. It is healthy ~ cathartic even...this is coming from someone who used to be a therapist (long time ago)! You are not doing anything to hurt another or yourself, so why should anyone have a problem with things you write! <br /><br />I hope that you keep going for your own healing and to heck with those who don't get it. It is not their grief, their journey, their pain...it is your. <br /><br />HUGSStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795924138335289826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093768272799562194.post-83493188055680647602010-06-19T22:57:18.599-04:002010-06-19T22:57:18.599-04:00Tracie said it so well!

I am thinking and praying for you and your beautiful Noah.<br /><br />DeniseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093768272799562194.post-4811396452162578372010-06-17T20:03:44.394-04:002010-06-17T20:03:44.394-04:00Hi.

Before I go any further, I wanted to tell you that you shouldn't try to censure your grief OR your words. It will only hold you back in the grieving process. I can't even begin to tell you how much I wish I had had a place like this when my son died from prematurity almost 17 years ago. It was like taboo to even speak his name, it seemed. Ofcourse, I went against the grain and mentioned him whenever I could. But I am so thankful that all these years later, grieving mothers are more open. Please, please don't let anyone take that away from you. Let people be uncomfortable...maybe it will give them a nudge to support March of Dimes or similar charities, love their own kids more, or become a bit more compassionate.<br />((((hugs))))Traciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144443270788551021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093768272799562194.post-71386440548497867542010-06-16T14:30:51.873-04:002010-06-16T14:30:51.873-04:00I suspect you're found through your blog to Ch...I suspect you're found through your blog to Charlotte, which you have posted on your facebook page.<br /><br />I enjoy reading your blog because it makes me feel closer to you and Noah. I am thinking maybe I corrected you? But I don't try to. I think a few times I've tried to say why people say/do the things they do.<br /><br />One option is to make your blog "private" so that only followers and those you invite can read your blog. Just a thought.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010855220044881380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093768272799562194.post-44617247434845559262010-06-15T19:26:17.259-04:002010-06-15T19:26:17.259-04:00We're in the same boat again on this one.
