I am very new in my grieving process.  My baby boy Gabriel passed away on August 17, 2009.  I have had emotions from severe sadness to thoughts of suicide.  (PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE ARE A PART OF THE GRIEVING PROCESS; HOWEVER IF YOU ARE MAKING PLANS TO HARM YOURSELF, PLEASE TELL YOUR SUPPORT PERSON, CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR OR GO TO YOUR NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM).

Although I had many friends and family surrounding me, I still felt that no one fully understood how I was feeling.  I remember in my darkest moment sitting with my husband, trying to reach anyone on the internet to talk to.  I remember telling him "I just need another mommy to talk to."  I was so scared of my own emotions and what was swirling around in my head.  I left messages for a couple of women who were out of my area and did not receive the immediate response I needed.  I started looking for support groups around Ellis County and there are none. 

Healing Hearts will have meetings as the need arises.  If you have any questions or would like to meet with other Mommies, please contact me at 469-438-8778.

Please remember that Healing Hearts is for any Mommy who has lost a child at any age, not just infants.
