What a great piece. What a great and sad story. And what a way to remember. <BR/><BR/>I'm crying at work right now but thankfully I'm also pumping so the door is closed. :) (Get it together Nicole!) <BR/><BR/>You really should consider publishing something Mary Beth. Your words often paint such a vivid picture for me. Whether it's funny, sad, or happy, I see it. That's a real gift.<BR/><BR/>NicoleMileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232708827910675799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191323164993454792.post-51351003186680674672009-03-12T09:39:00.000-04:002009-03-12T09:39:00.000-04:00I have come back to this post several times, tryin...I have come back to this post several times, trying to find the words to write...it shouldn't be so hard, considering I had something similar happen before K.

In a round about way. For the first three weeks of being pregnant with Jaxon he was a "threatened miscarriage" They hadn't found the heart and HCG was not doing what they said it should be doing. <BR/><BR/>It was an awful time and I am so thankful to have come through it. But I will never forget how it felt to think that the thing I had longed for and hoped for all of my life might not make it to being. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your story. <BR/>Love you<BR/><BR/>BooBoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319972588623116258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191323164993454792.post-71143003132793979262009-03-09T19:28:00.000-04:002009-03-09T19:28:00.000-04:00Mary Beth, what you have said brings me back to th...Mary Beth, what you have said brings me back to the moment when my best friend had her 2nd miscarriage and what you described is exactly what she described.

It's a story I've wanted to put into words for some time now, and found myself thinking about a lot recently now that my "baby" isn't a baby and we've decided there will be no more. Our culture has no accepted ritual for this kind of loss. We all have to muddle through it our own way.<BR/><BR/>HBMama - you made perfect sense to me. :)Irishembihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479794874945316072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191323164993454792.post-8029211085228947712009-03-07T17:33:00.000-05:002009-03-07T17:33:00.000-05:00oh, my...my sweet friend, I am so sorry. your wor...oh, my...my sweet friend, I am so sorry. your words have hit me yet again. my throat is tight, my eyes sting. i cannot imagine what that/this is like--for you, for any fellow sister. a dear friend of mine experienced a similar situation recently, and she called me at work and said, "it's gone." my heart broke then, as it does now.<BR/><BR/>i haven't the words, really, but i do have love and friendship for you. if i could wrap my arms around you and hug you today (and any day), i would. i am sending hugs through these words.<BR/><BR/>thank you for sharing such a personal and painful story with us. you are brave and beautiful.<BR/><BR/>with love from pittsburgh...laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319528506123407572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191323164993454792.post-419959785151281552009-03-07T11:43:00.000-05:002009-03-07T11:43:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry MaryBeth, I can't imagine how hard th...I'm so sorry MaryBeth, I can't imagine how hard that must have been (and still is, I'm sure).

I didn't actually get (physically, you like a good cry) upset about it until I was pregnant with the next one two month later and that was one threatened. Then the waterworks came and I just thought "no, it hurt too bad the last time! I can't do this again!" <BR/><BR/>I do write about it in my blog. <BR/><BR/>Love and hugs to you.The Three Little Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293720770115453987noreply@blogger.com
