First off, Katy, (((HUGS)))

Make sure you take care of yourself because your body is healing and recovering from just giving birth also.

Also take care of yourself emotionally, mentally and in any other way that you need to. Now is when you need to put yourself and your well-being first. Feel free to pamper yourself and look at pictures or talk to the adoptive parents when you're missing your baby or having a hard time - are you having an open adoption with visits or a different arrangement?

Also I would get a box or a few boxes of kleenex and be ready for any little thing to set you off at any time and let yourself cry whenever you feel the need to.

I would also second what quantum said in that making sure you have family, friends and others around that you can talk to or use their shoulder to cry on or go to for a hug at any time would be a great idea.

I would also suggest journaling any and all thoughts and feelings that come to you as you begin this process of grief and healing.

It will not be an easy path, but we've all of us gone through this part of the path or similar to this one that you're on now and all of us are here to help give support, love and friendship to you and to do what we can to help you.

So feel free to PM or talk to me or anyone else here.

(((Hugs))) again.
