I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I've suffered a number of miscarriages (enough so that I can't keep up with my would-be due dates anymore!). Whenever I read about someone else's experience and hear about their strength, it helps me as well. I'll be checking out Erin's posts as well. It's amazing how writing the words does make one feel a little better....what a gift. Keep your chin up, will be thinking of you...

Although you will have more children later, you will always remember the one you lost, but I know with your faith you are comforted knowing your child is safe in the arms of God. I had a miscarriage 16 years ago and every October, around the due date, I start to feel a little sad and agitated. I don't really realize until later, the reason why. I think it will always be with me. Glad you are seeing the joy through your sons eyes during this holiday season.Melissa Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126713871312651098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-66351483791958082242010-12-08T11:42:13.933-07:002010-12-08T11:42:13.933-07:00in a very small way, i can relate to your feelings...in a very small way, i can relate to your feelings: the pain and sadness, the real awareness that someone is missing. hoping you feel the calm and peace this holiday season!Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365424021328515376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-26304820497585430182010-12-08T10:33:00.564-07:002010-12-08T10:33:00.564-07:00I've suffered a loss through miscarriage as we...I've suffered a loss through miscarriage as well. It was heartbreaking. But, going through that trial has helped me to empathize with others' losses, greater or smaller than mine. <br /><br />I am praying for your friend and for you. I know, 6 years later, that my mind still turns to the lost baby when my would-have-been September due date comes. We moms will never forget our babies. No matter how small they were when they left us.<br /><br />Thank heavens for our faith. It allows our broken hearts to mend. Yours will too. I'm so glad to know that their is Someone who truly understands us - and everything we go through.<br /><br />You are an inspiration, Marta. A true gem.

The mittens and the way he seems to be marveling at the holiday treats, well it's great. <br />Secondly, I'm glad you've had so much support and have found other's stories a comfort. Time, as with all wounds, helps. I have a niece who is the same age as the child I lost on my 6th and last miscarriage. For the most part I have moved through it and it's been a while so I can just focus on my many other blessings (and one grown and lovely child) but around that niece's birthday every year, I remember and that loss is fresh. Gentle thoughts of continued healing for you this Christmas.jeanette from everton terracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02025486213973874174noreply@blogger.com
