I understand personally how painful it is to miscarry but the pain goes so much deeper when others won't recognize or allow you that pain. It's important to feel, to grieve. Please know we're here for you. Your words are very wise and your boys are so lucky to have you as their mom. Much love to you and yours.Jennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883099182336180371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-50180541898754584002009-09-06T15:59:53.454-07:002009-09-06T15:59:53.454-07:00I am so so sorry for your loss.

I was really hoping and praying that things would be okay (((hugs)))<br /><br />I know that after my miscarriages people said some really strange things. I think a lot of people are afraid to really think about this kind of loss so it is easier to ignore it or brush it off. Maybe it is just too sad for them to seriously confront what it is? I don't know, but I also hope that our children will be the kind of people you describe who openly show their love and support to others. I know that I've sort of felt "called" to talk about my miscarriages more openly so it is not such a taboo topic and people can learn how to support others who are going through this. I agree that it is enough to say that they don't know what to say but they are there for you. Sometimes that is just all there is to say.<br /><br />Anyway, you and your family are in my thoughts.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589450319640171616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-50807941766028051252009-09-04T19:46:22.258-07:002009-09-04T19:46:22.258-07:00marina - i am so very sorry for your loss. i have ...marina - i am so very sorry for your loss. i have not visited your blog in a while and suddenly was inspired to do so...and then read your words here. with tears and hugs from afar, you are in my thoughts!waldorfmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695576056041872373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-40497857163607007452009-09-03T21:31:44.406-07:002009-09-03T21:31:44.406-07:00Thank you for letting us know.

You gently reminded me what it takes to be the kind of friend and mother and example for my own sons that you are for your three. I am enriched by your emotional honesty and generosity, and I feel blessed to have crossed your warm and lovely path. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Your descriptions of what others said, or did not say to you left me in tears. I just do not get it... I had a really hard time getting pregnant with my first babe and experienced much grief and a feeling of emptiness during the long period of wait, there were also many relatives who did not take these very real feelings into account and it left me feeling alone in my and my husbands journey. I am so thankful that you found support and love through your friends in this space, it truly feels like 'instant community' Many blessings to you Marina, you have been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180418533341961195.post-38875290218025934372009-09-01T16:38:55.243-07:002009-09-01T16:38:55.243-07:00So sorry.
