We just completed our miscarriage this past Tuesday. We had found out two weeks prior that we had lost the baby. It was a hard two weeks to wait, but we leaned on the Lord and He comforted us. The pain from child loss is immense, but the Lord has His plans and His ways are perfect (even if we don’t agree with it). Thank you for sharing this story. It really touched my heart and helps me know that while going through this, I’m not an island. There are others and its important to support each other.

Thank you so much for sharing this. We just lost ours two months ago, and another last March who would have been due in November, and are trying again. It gets easier every day, but it seems that every time I turn around there is someone else due in March when the the last one was due, or just pregnant people every, including both (!) of my sisters in law–painful reminders. I can’t blog about this because so many of my family members read my site, and it’s just not the place, so thank you very much for putting it here. It is so comforting to read words from people on the other side of it all.

I lost my first pregnancy at about 28 weeks. Two daughters Linda and Joyce who lived for 17 hours. That was 1964. I never saw them and never held them. I was then blessed with two more daughters. Things have changed now it is acknowledged that parents will grieve the loss of premature infants. Pictures are taken and parents are able to hold their little ones.

Oh I can\’t tell you what that post meant to me and so many others who have had a loss. I have blogged about my losses and the pain for awhile now, sadly! Please see my blog and share with others that have had to battle through this unspeakable grief. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing about it!

Oh Angie. I\’m so sorry for your loss. I can\’t imagine losing a child and I\’m so sorry you had to experience it. When I was pregnant with my son, my baby sister was also expecting. We were excited to be able to share this time together, since we had always been close and now had this miracle and experience to share as well! Only, we couldn\’t. She lost her baby at 12 weeks. Our other sister had already had a miscarriage previously and I became so afraid that I\’d be next. I wasn\’t, and Parker was born healthy and perfect at 40 weeks. But the guilt I felt that I got to keep my baby and my sisters did not almost killed me. I remember sobbing on the phone to her after Parker was born, I\’ll never forget it. Although both my sisters conceived again shortly after their miscarriages, I know they have a special place in their heart for their angels. And I feel blessed that my babies have two guardian angels watching over them too.

It is amazing how strong we woman are.
We have four losses and three years of trying before we had my son. I had always told myself that each pregnancy was the same little soul but it just wasn’t their “time” to be born just yet…I told myself this to get through it and keep on getting out of bed each day. When I finally got pregnant with Adam and they told me his due date was July 4th my jaw about hit the ground. It was the same due date as the very first baby we had lost at 13 weeks along. It gave me peace and I just knew it was the same little soul and he was ready to be born :-)
With all of the pain life can bring it makes all of the good days shine. I often wonder if we would have been half as good of parents if it hadn’t been for all of the losses and heartache of wanting nothing more in life than to be parents. It was a gift in the sense that we know what a gift each day truly is! :-)
