Because I don’t always want to invite people to look into my life. I know it seems weird since countless strangers do it every day. But when I have to deal with someone on a regular in-person basis, I feel like I have to protect myself. I don’t always want to be labeled as the mother with the dead child. It’s sometimes nice to escape my reality for a little while. One of the times I went to Labor and Delivery during Annabel’s pregnancy, a nurse came into my room after I’d been there about an hour and said, “Oh my gosh, I just googled you and found your blog! I am soooo sorry about your daughter.” And while that was nice, everything changed after that. Lots of hushed discussion at the door and sad clown faces. [...] [...] Why am I vague?

I know you are. And don’t make the sad clown face.” True, some people assume the best thing they can do when someone grieves is to offer the saddest and most worried face they can give, not knowing it only adds to the person’s grief. “But please, don’t tell me you’re sorry. I know you are. And don’t make the sad clown face.”

Also, you looked nauseous and I wanted to leave you alone, cause I know how much that sucks. And then on Friday, I wanted to tell you that you did an amazing job, but then it was over and I didn't and I'm not sure I saw you again. But? I am so glad that I got to meet you, even for a minute. And I hope next year, we get to meet again and I am not so overwhellemed in that moment and I remember how to speak.

I'm sorry I missed you — I only went to a couple of parties on Thursday night, but I was at the SV Moms party. I so admire your ability to articulate what you need: no sad face, no crying. People don't know what to do or say, and its wonderful that you are able to help people help you.
