| Hi. My name is Sonia Sharrett and I am living in Tokyo Japan. My husband is in the Air Force and we are stationed over here. I have had two miscarriages this year. The first one hapened in Feb. and my husband was deployed to the desert. I went to the E.R. alone and suffered through my loss by myself. My husband came home at the end of April and was home for less than a month. I miscarriaed again at the end of May and my husband was gone again and is still gone. I have been alone for both of my losses and am having a hard time dealing with it. It is hard to feel connected to my husband over the phone and the internet. I am trying to get through this hard time while dealing with my body and the emotional/hormonal aftermath of two miscarriages in one year. All of the wives who make up my support group here either have children or are pregnant so it is hard to find solace in them. I am glad that I have found this website and i hope to be able to talk with others who understand what I am going through. |

Sonia,
I absolutely can't imagine what you are going through having to deal with your two losses by yourself. It must be so hard for your husband, also, to not be able to be with you during this time. Please know that we are here for you. Has your doctor said anything about your losses as far as maybe doing some testing or something? I hope to hear from you again soon!

Dear Sonia,
I am so sorry to hear of your losses and I can't imagine how difficult it must be to not have the support of your husband during this very hard time. My husband has been very supportive, but sometimes it requires me sharing and explaining things to him just because he doesn't know exactly what my feelings are related to this emotional experince. I can only imagine how difficult that is to do and feel connected to him while talking with him over the phone and internet.
I had a miscarriage in March, and just when I felt like I was starting to be able to interact with my pregnant friends and acquaintances, it's happening again. It was confirmed almost 2 weeks ago that I was going to miscarry again. I think I've been in denial more than anything with this one. I didn't want a D&C at all, and was counting on nature taking it's course, but it's not working out as I had hoped. So, I guess I'm going in for a D&C this week, which I am quite scared of, actually. In general, I want to share what I'm going through with my friends because I need their support, but I'm afraid of my feelings of loss and pain being invalidated. Right now I'm just trying to take things one day at a time. Please take care of yourself Sonia. |
