Her room is exactly as it was in March give or take the washed sheets.<BR/>I try to get to it every weekend. Every weekend something comes up and I put it on the backburner. My DH says it is ok. I guess I am just not ready....RollerCoasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270638617170660933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-1127210682167114702005-09-20T06:04:00.000-04:002005-09-20T06:04:00.000-04:00There are so many things to feel torn over for you...There are so many things to feel torn over for you, so please don't worry about not wanting to give away the life you had planned and all the things that would have made it happen.<BR/><BR/>There is no right answer, please be kind to yourself. FWIW, I wouldn't be giving it away yet either.

It sounds like that is just what you are doing...making and holding onto the memories of him that you have (not to mention the memory of the hopes and dreams you had FOR him). I think it's a nice thing. And maybe someday you will use those things...but maybe you won't. You do whatever you have to do to make it through.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160908955133304449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-1127161472027739822005-09-19T16:24:00.000-04:002005-09-19T16:24:00.000-04:00Like Julie, I did not get rid of anything.

I kept it up because I was determined to use it. <BR/><BR/>I don't think you have to feel bad about your decision no matter what it is. It's certainly not a situation you'd ever imagine finding yourself in :(Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915721334800247580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-1127151536109357132005-09-19T13:38:00.000-04:002005-09-19T13:38:00.000-04:00I am sure Thomas KNOWS his mommy is doing her best...I am sure Thomas KNOWS his mommy is doing her best. I think you are doing a really good job too. <BR/><BR/>As far as putting the things away, I couldn't get rid of ANYTHING. I kept it all, including the baby bath products. I just couldn't get rid of any of it. It eventually got to the point where I narrowed it down to 3 or 4 outfits to put away in the cedar chest to keep for ONLY Caleb, and even then I didn't get rid of anything. I just put all of the other things in place to use for another baby. Eventually you may be able to pick out a few special things to keep forever, but maybe you won't. You might decide to keep it all, and that's ok too. (((((((hugs))))))) Sending you strength.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05677254184072806142noreply@blogger.com
