Miscarriage is a Dirty Word.

Well it's time for me to 'fess up.

This week I lost a baby. Or I had a miscarriage. Or my dream was shattered. Whichever way you say it, it's the same thing. This was my special project I was working on, which sadly won't be published now. Our little one was @ 10 weeks....

I wasn't going to blog about this, but since it is so much a part of me, how could I not? I've been through this many times before actually, but it is harder this time because we had given up trying for that elusive 4th baby, moved on, gotten over the "baby obsessive thing" and then bang out of the blue, we are at the starting line..again.

And it's even more difficult because this time we saw the little heartbeat. It's heartbreaking, really, but I'm not going to whine and whinge and write about my world falling apart (how could I even think that when I have 3 beautiful babes who love me).....

It's more like my world has been kicked and dented, and only time will inflate that dent to be whole again. It's been a very traumatic week, emotionally and physically, and I can honestly say at one point my bathroom looked like a murder scene....well sarcasm is all I have left....as I am spent.

Thankfully I should (will) recover on my own and go on to be chastised, frustrated and loved by my 3 babes who I love so much it hurts.

I am sorry, so sorry.

I love that you are grateful for your precious kiddos, but please give yourself space to grieve too.

God has blessed you and I pray that He watches over your health and your family.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Even that sounds so clinical and blah. But you get it right. With love and hope just for you.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

Kakka said...

I was fearful that this was what had happened as I somehow knew when you first mentioned the 'project' that it was a new baby for you. My heart is sad, and I am crying tears for your loss. I wish I could wrap you in my arms and give you a hug, but distance and the fact your don't really know me, prevent that. So cyberhugs will have to do. xxx

Geez.

No matter how much time passes, it still doesn't discount a comment being justified, does it. Especially in this instance.

I am so, sorry. It isn't fair. I say it a lot through my blog, but others.. they don't understand. It's just NOT fair.

Love to you xx
