Welcome back to #PoCoLo with Stephanie from Bosworth.Life and I.
Post Comment Love #PoCoLo is a friendly weekly linky where you can link up any blog post you've written this week. If you're new or a regular visitor we're sure you'll find something of interest.
We said goodbye to child 1 this week, our daughter Stephanie. It may seems strange that I'm doing something so normal like blogging, but apart from adding these few personal words and a photo, everything else has been scheduled for the past 3 weeks and the rest of the month.
Where talking is almost impossible, saying the words 'our daughter died' will be stuck in the back of my throat forever, but typing and writing come easier, reading through all the messages sent with love from family and friends around the world has provided Peter and I with the greatest of comfort over the past 12 days, as much as the physical hugs from our family and closest of friends.
To have people reach out from the blogging world, from social media, who have lost a child, people I've connected with from 15 years ago, people who have moved from online friends to real world ones, who have met our daughter, people who have only ever followed our journey online as parents of a disabled adult and helped us with out daily battles, it has been the best network we could've ever asked for.
No I'm not functioning, I'm not writing this with clarity, I can hardly see through the tears. I'm not getting on with normal life, life with never be the same again. It will be OK, I believe you when you tell me that, it will just be different, there will be a new normal.
We'd also appreciate your help spreading the #PoCoLo word on Twitter, tag us and we'll RT. You can find us on twitter here: Stephanie - @BosworthLife and Suzanne - @ChickenRuby
