Heartache

Jared expressed to me again tonight the sadness he is feeling about the lost baby. My heart aches for him, and I realize we really didn't encourage him to grieve. We cried together the day we found out that the baby had died, and I let him know it was ok to cry, but once he finished crying he spent the rest of the week in a Wii trance. The funny thing is that I think he's remembered the baby more since it's death than when I was actually pregnant. While pregnant, he called the baby Peaches. Perhaps naming it gave him more of a connection. I think the emptiness of the house is making the memory and loss more acute for him. I am grateful for the music I can make to work through my feelings. I don't know what to do for him other than to hold him and be close.
