I wondered about whether I wanted to share this with anyone in the blog world, but I felt like I needed to get this out and maybe some other bloggers can identify with me. So here goes...
Since January, I have been undergoing fertility treatments. I wasn't really ready to share on here because I didn't know what the outcome would be or how long it would take. It took a toll on me emotionally and physically, but having a baby became very important to me. On June 4, I found out I was pregnant and it was the most amazing feeling EVER. This was something I wanted so badly and I finally felt like I was truly happy for the first time in a long time.
I was almost 8 weeks along when I went to the doctor this week and found out the baby was not growing. The news was devastating, shocking, and very saddening. First, I was depressed and upset...then it turned to anger as I wondered why this had to happen to us..and then I just started feeling numb. I really don't even know if I'm dealing with this pain the right way or if there is a right way.
This has been a very difficult week for my family, but we look forward to the future. Thank you so much for your support and I'll be back to blogging in a few days.
Lisa
P.S. I always, always make an effort to respond to every comment I get. I hope you understand that I may not respond this weekend, but I appreciate all your kind words.

Oh Lisa, I am so so sorry. I've miscarried before and my heart goes out to you. * big hugs*
ReplyDeleteOh dude... that sucks. I don't understand why some things are such a struggle.. You would hope that since it was hard to get there, the rest would be smooth sailing.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss and the heartache you must be feeling. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
I am so sorry for your pain. I have never been through what you are going through but have a struggle of my own right now. Blogging is a great outlet but I totally understand sometimes you just don't have it in you. God has a plan for us all, in His time not ours. Don't loose faith and I will keep you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I'm so sorry for your loss. Hang in there and know that we're all out here if you need us.
ReplyDeleteYou're a tough lady, Lisa. You know we're here for you when you're ready. ::hugs::
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you. I have kids so I can only IMAGINE the horror of losing one but I can't truly relate. Keep positive and see the good things still there. There are plenty of them!
ReplyDeletesending you lots of prayers
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. We've had two miscarriages (1st and 3rd pregnancies) and were told I would never conceive naturally again (a few years later and we did) and I understand the pain. Take care of yourself and give yourself a chance to heal.

Oh Lisa I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine the pain you're feeling right now. Take time to heal emotionally with your husband.
ReplyDeleteT&P for you:) ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteI'm so so sorry to hear about your loss. Sending lots of prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry honey! Sending a ton of T+P from the northwest Chicago suburbs to you! One of my best friends just went through this same thing, so I know how rough it is to cope. You are a very strong woman!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you have to go through this. Sending lots of good wishes to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through.
ReplyDeleteLisa,I'm so sorry to read this! I'll be praying for you. My husband and I lost twins to a miscarriage and then a daughter to premature birth (both happened last year). It is so difficult and I think you hit it right on the head when you said there may be no right way to deal with it. It is a roller coaster of emotions. But stay strong and stay connected to your husband. I'll be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI could say something conciliatory here, but the plain truth is, what happened sucks and it's frustrating beyond words. I have 3 fantastic kids, and I had a miscarriage. It doesn't matter what the circumstances, it's awful. Just remember, you have lots of support, even from perfect strangers, and when you DO become a mom, you'll appreciate it even more.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to it. It will happen. And it will be awesome.
