You're definitely not alone. I am so very sorry. That is truly difficult to bear, but you two seem to be handling it well- as I recall, when we miscarried our twins, I made a lot of grim jokes, too. Humor does help. I'm also very thankful that you had as much support as you did- God is good there- and yes, all the time. If you ever need to chat privately, feel free to shoot me a note - it's this username at gmail. <3

Thank you. I actually thought about you and a couple of other LJers who have shared bits of their stories. I've been struck by how utterly clueless I was about this particular kind of grief/loss. It was impossible to anticipate how much of an impact it has had, and I can only imagine how much more painful it could be. But God is deeper. And merciful. There's hope there.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have suffered two miscarriages, so I understand the pain. It helped me to allow myself to think of it as a baby, not an embryo, even to name the lost children and grieve, though I had those around me that did not understand since they were very early miscarriages. But God knows them. He has them. I wanted to acknowledge that.

Prayers for you.
