I found this poem on the net - and thought that all us mummies very much share in this person thoughts. Although written for a boy - it can easily be about a girl too (in brackets put she) ......


Remembering

Go ahead and mention my child,
The one that dies, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry,
I am already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing the tears that I try to hide.
I am hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending he (she) did not exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
knowing that he (she) has been missed.
You ask me how I was doing,
I say "pretty good", or "fine."
But healing is something ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime.
