One of the main things I feel sad about is how most people feel so awkward and uncomfortable to mention anything to me about Albury. Yes some days if she is mentioned I might well up a bit and cry, but it that a bad thing? Other days I can talk about her and what happened to us fine.
Its alright to mention her birthday, ask what we did, how we felt. Its ok to say her name, I swear I wont yell at you for mentioning her in public. I wouldnt be writing a public blog about her and posting photos on facebook of her birthday if I wasnt ok with people talking about her.
I used to be the one who was uncomfortable to mention my baby girl. Its still not something I go around telling everyone, but it is not something I try to hide. I dont want to force the subject onto people, but I am happy to answer questions that people might have.
Its the same with the PND, I am so proud of where I am now, that I am happy to talk about what I went through to get to this point, share my journey to help others who are struggling.
These things are rarely talked about in a public forum, so I think its time to break down the walls and let people know they are not alone, and to not be ashamed or scared to talk about it.
