I keep his toys out of his bedroom and reserve them for only his playroom. I was going to make a corner for like a calm down space where he can read. Grief definitely comes in waves. I know he’s not a baby anymore but it’s the thought of giving up the crib and knowing I’m done having children. I’m doing for him what I didn’t get to do with my first which is nice, but the creativity block has hit me hard.
Oh Aimee, of course the grief comes in waves, and the creativity is blocked becasue that grief is there. And you are mourning more than just the loss of this beautiful boy but the future babies too as you say good bye to a crib and take this next step. Together you will create a new space for both of you to enjoy.
Don't rush him or rush this process. There is nothing wrong with using that crib mattress on the floor or creating a space with that crib where he can slowly give it up. Be good to yourself, this is not easy.
