February 23, 2007: How?

I hold so many fears.
I fear holding her after birth and what that will feel like.  How can I let her go?

I fear this moment--this frozen time of "in it," just feeling and seeking out release but there is none to be had.

I feel dry yet the tears keep coming.
I feel broken, sore, in pieces all around my core.

The shock drug has worn its ugly welcome and it is gradually existing; grief.
Full, sticky grief has moved in.

I am loosing my first baby and all I am left with is grey--Grey, sticky, all surrounding grief.

I never knew a pain that never leaves.

I want so much to be present with baby but I find myself steps ahead because of fear and not holding her long enough.

I don't want to feel that guilt after she has left me but how do I stay focused on my connection with her?
How
HOw
HOW

So many question marks it only reminds me of her spine; curved, tender, exposed.
How?
