Do you feel grief at how quickly time is passing?

I feel so much grief about how quickly time is passing. My baby is 5 months now and I feel like time is flying. I have a pain in my heart that comes and goes, and it’s grief. It follows me around. I don’t know why other than I want time to stop. I love being a mother and I love everyday with my baby but the days go so quickly, we wake up then it feels like we’re doing the nighttime routine. I don’t know if it’s the sleep deprivation, I just can’t process time or the days so I think it’s promoting grief. Does anybody else feel the same? I’m really struggling. Share your thoughts below 👇🏼

Yes it's such a strange feeling, it feels like yesterday but also forever ago they came in to the world. I also wish my little girl was a new born again for abit longer but I'm also so so proud seeing her grow up develop a personality and progress. I think the new born phase went by faster than i ever imagined it would

@Sarah without a doubt and I wish I had enjoyed it more! I try not to worry about housework etc and spend as much time as possible with her now because it is flying by 😔 She is my 1 and only so I don’t want to miss anything!

@Lauryn I'm the same don't want to miss a thing, me and my partner have different opinions on having another so just incase she is my one and only I'm soaking up every minute I can

Yeah I feel this way about the newborn days and even pregnancy. It really does feel like grief because you can never get the time back. My first few days in the hospital with my baby are such a blur due to sleep deprivation and I’d give anything to experience them again

I feel emotional when I think about 2024 coming to an end, and my baby will never be new born again. 😢

I finally got round to packing up all of the clothes he's grown out of last week and was in tears seeing all of his little outfits he'll never wear again 😭. It's highly unlikely we'll have more children but I just can't bear parting with them as they're memories from his newborn days 🥺
