Day 3- myths about grief

I've heard many times in many different ways "You'll never get over it, it never gets better" etc. right after it happened and I was in the deepest part of grief, that wasn't helpful to me. To me that meant I'd always feel the way I did just then.  I realize that is a miscommunication that what people are trying to say is "she'll never be replaced" or "you'll miss her always" but when you can hardly get through a day without sobbing or when you can't imagine going through tomorrow the way you feel today (like I did at first) getting through weeks or days without sobbing IS better asking a friend about her baby IS better. 
I do have a hope, a faith, and a trust in The Lord. Without those I'm not sure where I'd be in my walk of grief. 
I have rough days, I still can't look at babies very long, or talk about them much. But it's getting better.
