A Miscarriage and Some Cleaning
i know i haven’t written in awhile. i will spare you the long, gory details. The doctors were not able to find a heartbeat at my appointment. i had to have a d and c procedure (which my doctor affectionately calls dusting and cleaning) to remove the baby and i had some complications from that procedure. i was 10 weeks and the doctor said the baby died a week or two before my appointment. i never thought a miscarriage would affect me so deeply. It has all been an emotionally, mentally, and physically draining process. i am super thankful i have the best hubby a girl could ask for. He has been my support and my rock (not to mention all the needs off 3 little ones). Within this next week i should be back to my usual peppy self (and my “new” normal).

My prayers go out to you for your loss - I can’t imagine going from the joys of expecting to the loss of your child so quickly. *hugs*

Shannon,
My heart goes out to you in your time of loss. I cannot profess firsthand knowledge of your situation but I have a dear friend who experienced a miscarriage. I know how devastated she was when trying to start her family. While you may never forget, you will move on and hopefully have beautiful children, like she has, bringing joy to the world.

I am so sorry to hear your news. I lost a baby at 22 weeks, and it was the hardest event of my life. We buried my son Ivan 29 years ago. He weighed one pound and had webbed fingers and toes. I still feel the loss, but I can also tell you that if I could live my life again, and got to choose the experiences of my life I wanted to include, my pregnancy with him would be on the top of my list.
There is no greater loss than that of a child and it will take a while for your hormones to get back to normal- and you’ll feel better when that happens.
I know that this experience will enrich your life, deepen your knowledge of spirit and your compassion for the suffering of others.
If there is life after death, you will have this reunion to look forward t.
I wish you speedy healing.

My heart goes out to you. I recently went through the same thing. I agree that it has been harder than I ever imagined it would be. You are not alone! Here’s to a healthy, full-term future pregnancy for you. :0)

Dear Shannon,
I am so sorry for your pain and loss. I too know the devastation of miscarriage. It was such a dark time for me with so little help, that my friend and I started a website to help women… perhaps there is something there that will help you… http://www.ourhopeplace.com
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. In time, may you find peace and happiness.
