I gave birth to my dead baby girl 5 months ago and you do not get to tell me how to grieve. I gave birth to my stillborn baby girl four months ago. Apparently, us women have to ask for permission to feel a certain type of way. Angry, posed a video the other day talking about how there are absolutely times where I feel resentment towards my husband because of the way that he can just carry on about life as I feel like I am just struggling to get out of the driveway in the mornings at times and struggling to do typical things. When I made this comment, I actually was shocked at the amount of people that thought that they had the audacity or the authority to come in and tell somebody what's acceptable during grief, what's not acceptable during grief, what should be said, what should not be said. Just baffles me. So if you're a grieving mama, just know that here on my page, you don't have to have permission to feel anything. You don't have to have permission to say anything. It is absolutely all fair game because every single one of us is gonna experience grief in an entirely different way. And number one, you are not alone. And number two, I am absolutely here to support you in any shape or form.
