Hey girls,
I'm sorry if this question is too personal...
For anyone who's a "desperate housewife'er" you'll probably know what i'm babbling on about in my non-sensical way.
When Gabby lost her bean she was taken to a field and given a balloon.
The guy who took her to the field said "this balloon is your babys soul, when you are ready you will be able to let go"
I bawled my eyes out watching that episode, cos i could relate to it, and everytime i have a big cry over my angels Graham suggests doing the balloon, and i always say i'd never be able to let go.
Have you tried it?
Would you consider it?
Again sorry if its too personal, you don't have to answer, i just wondered, cos i'd like to do it but the thought of letting go makes me bawl!!
Just because you relese the ballon doesn't mean you forgetting or lessening the pain ... it's to help you come to terms with the loss, even though sometimes you never will.
hey honey, we have spoken about this and i would really really like to do it but dont know if i am ready to let go yet...i do want to do it though, maybe going to try and wait for the snow or due date, but that may be even harder...

Hey, I never actually saw the programme but the way in which you described it . ie. letting going of your baby's soul - i dont think i would be able to do it and like you i would want to hang on to the bit of ribbon forever. I did however ask my children to "let the wind" take a balloon to their brother at his funeral but i never thought of it as letting go. It was just a way of sending something up to him in heaven.
I have now changed my perspective on a lot of things... seeing the brightest star twinkling in the sky and a butterfly coming into the garden or even the house always lift me and make me smile.
I don't think i described it right....
I can't find the words that i wanted to use...
I think it was more along the lines of "letting go of the pain and anger"
My mind has gone a blank!
Will have to re-watch that episode!!
I like how you asked them to let the wind take the balloon to their brother, thats so so sweet. I like that.
I sit and look at the stars for hours at night, i even talk to them.... makes me feel better knowing my angels are watching over me!
yeah, i think its almost like a step to healing...thats the way i look at it...as saying i love you but i have to move on too kind of...probably not making sense, i dont know how to word it either lol...
