A month or so ago we heard the news that K's nephew's oldest daughter was pregnant. She was finishing up her last bit at the university and was on her way to begin her life and she got side tracked a bit. Last night, we got the phone call that she lost the baby. He was 17 weeks old, about 6" long and perfect in every way. There is no explanation as to what the problem was and there probably never will be. I am incredibly sadden by this because it brings back memories of C losing her first son 7 years ago. I want to DO something to make things better, but know there is nothing I CAN do. It is hard to feel so powerless. This just brings another depressing element to the Christmas season for K's family. (His Dad died a couple of weeks before Christmas, so that anniversary is always there.)
I have a few ideas for posts, but they tend to be whimsical and humorous--emotions I'm not feeling at the moment. I'm sure things will be better tomorrow. Stay tuned...

I think this may be one of the best descriptions of love/marriage I have ever seen. Funny, but true! :D
Yeah, I too am not really feeling whimsical or lighthearted.

ReplyDeleteI never had a miscarriage or stillbirth--MY problem was GETTING pregnant--but The Oldest had a stillbirth and I have a bit of an idea how hard it is. A very, very sad situation.
