I am feeling helpless when it comes to helping a client/friend

Mar 16, 2010 22:44

One of my clients just found worst case results from her amnio. This is her second pregnancy...she miscarried the first. She is four months pregnant and they JUST started to tell people. She found out she was having a girl, and was thrilled, they gave the baby a nickname. Now she has to terminate the pregnancy. Heartbreaking on all accounts.

All I can say to her, is that she is in my thoughts and my prayers and that I'm here for her in case she needs me. It just breaks my heart. I never was able to get pregnant. I tried for over four years and it KILLED me not to be able to have a child, so I cannot even imagine how much worse this must feel. She and her husband are such great people, they would/will make amazing parents.

I was never ever jealous that she got pregnant--I was THRILLED for her. You never want to wish for someone's journey.

I believe in God, but sometimes I question why things like this happen. Please do me a favor and say a prayer for my friends.

Thank you,

Thea
