Don't worry, Sis B, my mom cancelled her ticket for tonight and is staying a few more days with me.

Oh, no! I'm glad your mom decided to stay with you a few more days. I'm so sorry; I wish there were more I could say. *big hugs*

I'm so glad your mom is with you. And I am heartbroken for you. Will it do any good for me to tell you my sister in law lost three before one live birth? No, it won't. But I'm telling you, as long as you can get pregnant there is hope you will have a baby one day. My prayers and hopes are with you and your hubby, and thankful your mom is there.

Sarah, when I read your news, I cried. I cried for you and for your babies. I cried for the fact that you will never get to hold those two babies. I cried because my heart remembered the horrible, ripping pain that came when reality set in and I realized that my babies were gone. I cried because you will now have yet another two days that come and go and are difficult in your life. I cried because I understand.
When the anniversary of my first miscarriage came this April, I was heartbroken. The anniversary of the second is just this week, and it scares me. Even though I am pregnant and slowly, cautiously dealing with this one, I grieve over the two that I lost. I hate it when people say that there will be more babies...what about the two that you lost? I hate it when people tell you how they know so and so who had this many miscarriages and had a baby later, because that doesn't help you RIGHT NOW. You do not have a baby in your arms, you do not have any guarantee that it will ever happen for you. No, it doesn't make you feel better to hear all of those things from those "well-meaning" people.
Please know that I am NOT one of those people. I am one of the people that understands where you are coming from. I have been there, and I know how it hurts, and how little things don't mean anything. I remember after my first loss, and I called a friend to tell her and all she did was cry on the phone with me, completely sobbed, for about ten minutes. Out of all of the words that I received, out of all of the so-called "advice" that was given to me, that phone call is the one that I remember, it is the one that stands out in my mind. She just cried with me. She felt my pain with me.
I've never met you, but I'm crying with you. I'm feeling your pain with you. My heart is actually breaking with you.

I'm sorry. (The first words that come to mind were a bit more profane)
Words of encouragement:
My in-laws were married at 19 and 18. She gave birth to my wife at 29 and they were "trying" for all but 2 years (1 in Vietnam and 1 where they were taking precautions). After that he got snipped so my wife is an only child. Please don't give up hope. (Or force your husband to get snipped after only 1.
)

Sarah - I am sorry. I wish there was something to say or do to take away your pain, but if its any comfort, I am thinking of you, your baby & your husband.

Sarah,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. My sympathies to you and your husband.
I think you are smart enough to already know what I am about to tell you....but I'll say it anyway. Take time to grieve this. A lot of very well-meaning people who love you will step up and try to distract you. I know that because if I were with you right now I would grab you and take you to lunch and out for manicures and pedicures and tell you ridiculous Princess Crabby stories until your sides hurt - trust me, I do enough asshatted things to fill a book.
That's because when we see your pain we want to help. And that's good and your friends and family are wonderful. They are right that it's not good to wallow.
But on the other hand, it's not good to ignore it. It hurts and like any other pain, it's not wise to ignore it. It will never be gone. Time will dull it. But it will never be gone. I lost my first pregnancy in February of 1980. My sons are wonderful, but they are not replacements. Their names are not his name.
You can do this. Anyone who reads your blog knows what a strong intelligent woman you are. They also know that you are not alone. You have a wonderful husband and family and all of us - your imaginary friends out here in the blogosphere. We are here with you too. We are grieving with you, just as we will rejoice when the good times come.
Love,
Maggie
