How long is normal post-partum recovery? Anywhere from 6 weeks to 1 year.
How long does it take when it includes grieving the unexpected loss of my son? When there is no baby in my arms to make the pain and discomfort of childbearing worthwhile? Nobody knows.
Physically, I think I am at about 85% of my strength. My body made miraculously rapid progress in the first week or so and I was quickly able to walk and move and function again at almost normal capacity. I can do most things again, just not too much at a time, and I expect that to be true for a while yet.
Our hearts will take much longer to mend.
little feet and loving hands
Toby, you are part of our family and we will love you forever.
