International Bereaved Mother's Day, Week, Month, Year?

Yes, I am aware that International Bereaved Mother's Day was Sunday, May 4th.  The day before my husband and I joined my best friend and her husband for dinner.  She had a gift for me.  It was a baby loss bracelet she made from scratch, with the following words " I don't know what to say or do."  And "All I know is I love you."  I love the bracelet and have worn it since receiving it.  Typically,  no one knows what to say.  I wouldn't know what to say if I didn't know what it felt like to be a mother suffering a baby loss. My friends and family try.  They support me and Brandon.  But, they can only do so much, without knowing the pain in the heart.  This mother's day I should be awaiting the arrival of my daughter Claire, and she should be kicking me inside so hard that I cannot sleep.  She should be doing somersaults in my belly and making her daddy laugh when he felt her doing so.  Once born, she should be drooling, feeding, pooping, crying, cooing, giggling, making her first smiles, cutting teeth and so much more.  Then she should be learning to eat foods here and there, crawling, walking, talking, growing, laughing, tumbling over, splashing in the bathtub, climbing into bed with me, loosing her baby teeth, going to preschool, beginning regular school, making good grades, loving fashion, joining me at the nail salon, playing dress up, making friends, sleepovers, liking boys, learning to drive, falling in love, getting her heart broke, graduating, going off to college, meeting the love of her life, getting married, losing her virginity, having babies, becoming a grandma, burying her parents, getting old, and then going to heaven for eternity with her family.  Instead, heaven came first.

This is why I will be bereaved every day, not just one day.
