Menstration Situation

I was not prepared for how bad my period would be. I’m in a lot of pain physically- the doctors warned me it would be difficult. But I didn’t understand that the cramps would feel like contractions. It’s like my body is sending distress signals to my brain: PANIC! PANIC! PANIC!

 

My brain is being an idiot.

 

Tom and I are going to the cemetery tomorrow. We’ve been talking a lot about Tommy Jr’s gravestone and what it should say. Well, we bring it up often, but neither of us can talk about it very much without crying. It’s so unnatural. We looked forward to this week for so long, thinking we’d have a giggling cooing baby. Instead we have headstone brochures.

    You know what? Tomorrow is two and a half years since my boy died, and we still havent arranged his headstone. We just can not think of what to put on there, and every time we try, I end up sobbing hysterically. I can’t count how many times we’ve said “we are doing that tonight” and we just can’t. So oh boy do I know how you feel.

    I just realised that that makes me sound horrible, for leaving my baby without a headstone for so long. Trust me, I feel horrible about it. I just have this massive mental block about it. I think because its so permanent, and I would have to really admit that him being gone is permanent. Also I’m a perfectionist and I’m worried I’ll “get it wrong” and wish it was different ten years from now.
    Yeah I have some issues there.
