Amy, I am so sorry for your loss. My husband and I lost our son, Cooper, September 26th, 2003. It will be a year soon, I can't believe it. We are still greiving. This is by far the hardest thing we have ever been through. You will never be "over" this. I think realizing that it is ok for me to alway miss Cooper made me feel a little better. The first few months are so hard. Take time to talk to your husband about how you are feeling, and listen to him. Finding someone to talk about Ethan with will help too. I love to tell my birth story or talk about Cooper as much as possible. That's ok. During the first few weeks I made him a baby book with everything I had of his. This was healing for me too. I hope you have pictures to look at. Don't be afraid to diplay them, or show loved ones and friends. I am in a great support group too. It is so helpful, but it's ok if you don't feel like going right away. It took me a few months to get the courage to go, but It is worth it. I know the pain seems unbearable right now, but slowly you will find ways to smile again. Remember to let yourself greive, and take care of each other. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope I've been a little helpfull.
Jamie
