This past week, my husband and I lost our little one due to miscarriage in the 7th week. We were just married this year in February and were so happy to find out "we" were pregnant.
I feel so much pain that I am afraid to start crying. I am praying to God for courage and strength during this dark time. I don't know where to turn, but hope that by posting here I can connect with others that share this sadness.
Our little one was here on earth so brief a time, but will live on forevermore in my heart.
-Shannon

Shannon, I am truly sorry for your loss. Don't be afraid to cry! You should cry and grieve that little baby. I think that is the only way to heal - to be totally honest with your emotions and allow yourself to feel them. If you haven't already, you may want to post in the guest book. Since this message board is really specific to infertility after a loss, there are a lot more people who read the guest book and might respond. If you'd like to email me, please do. I want you to find the support you need.

Hi Shannon -
I am so sorry for you loss. We recently lost our first at 13 weeks. It's been 7 weeks since we miscarried, and it still hurts so much emotionally. But, it has gotten easier. Although we only had our baby in our lives for 13 weeks, we are forever changed and I am so thankful that God is using this experience to strenghten our faith in Him and our marriage.
My only advice is that you need to grieve. This was a precious life and your feelings of loss are so real. I tend to find myself crying when I am alone with the Lord. I pour my heart out to Him and he sustains me. He will get you through this dark time.
You'll be in my prayers.

Shannon,
I am also so sorry for you and your DH. It's been 4 months since my boys went to heaven and I tell you I cry often. It does get better but it never goes away. I do find strength in my marriage and faith in God. I had no choice but to grieve. I was on maternity leave for 4 weeks. I had all the time in the world to cry and cry and ask why???
Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
Trish |
