The main reason behind this post was to feature a story that showed people overcoming adversity. We, as BLMs, constantly overcome adversity to keep moving on throughout life after we lose our babies. Although, the Packers story doesn't even come close to many of ours....they are still a team that had to overcome a lot. I always find it amazing how just about everything I watch or listen to can relate to our situations in the babyloss community. Maybe it's a better perspective that I'm not really as alone as I think I am. Or maybe it's just me reaching out to believe that everyone can somehow relate to my situation. I don't know...but somehow, the Packers seem to relate well to me.

They started the year as pre-season favorites. I went into my pregnancy naively thinking that everything will be okay. The Packers started suffering injuries. My pregnancy never was easy. The Packers started losing. I started bleeding...which ultimately led me to know that I had lost my baby girl. The Packers struggled to find ways to win....people who could step up to the plate. I continue to struggle with the loss I suffered and am looking and leaning on people to support me. The Packers take the hardest route to the Super Bowl. As I also grieve the loss of my baby, I continue to grieve for what my life was before....including dealing with other traumatic events. The Packers win the Super Bowl. I continue to wonder when my Super Bowl will occur...when I will win or find the answers behind the adversity. But since the Packers won....maybe my answers aren't too far behind? Maybe the good things are just around the corner? I sure hope so....and I hope the same for all of you.

You are too cute! I will probably never develop that intense loyalty that the born and bred Packers fans have (or any WI team for that matter), but I always admire it and it brings a smile to my face. Miss you!
Sunday was definitely a good day for the Green Bay fans. I hope that your Super Bowl is just around the corner! :)
This is a wonderful post, and made me smile. It was a great day, my husband's birthday was Sunday, and it was amazing how we could "forget" everything else in our lives for a few short hours hoping the Packers would bring home the trophy! Everything else was on the back burner just for a bit, while we cheered our team to victory, seems that happens in our community as well, doesn't it? Thank you for sharing, thinking of you!!
Great post!
The Chinese New Year began last week - the Year of the Rabbit. I have great hope for the year of the rabbit (rabbits symbolizing rebirth, spring, fertility and generally good things! plus bunnies are cute!) and after the Packers won the Superbowl the first weekend in the Chinese New Year, I thought this must be a sign of good things to come!
Thinking of you and still reveling in the Packers' victory!
