Though you may have written it for yourself, this post is amazing for all of us women who grieve the loss of our children that most people don't recognize as significant.<br /><br />I think I'm going to start watching Army Wives. I need to see my reality reflected in the media. Not just the "we start ttc and boom, BFP, now watch my belly grow and hold my happy and healthy baby at the end of 40 weeks" that has been the norm for WAY too long.<br /><br />~Jillriversnakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806447073079809610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-12705622628718490482010-05-24T15:03:51.822-07:002010-05-24T15:03:51.822-07:00Faith, beautifully written as always.

The sad thing is that I can remember that day in the ultrasound room when the nurse said, "I'll be right back. I'm going to get the doctor." I knew it and started sobbing. I can clearly remember waking up from anesthesia sobbing because I dreamt I was holding my baby girl, not getting my insides scraped out. Yet, I can barely remember what it was like to pee on that stick and finally get a positive.<br /><br />As for television, Grey's Anatomy last week was the worst for me. I was hysterical and couldn't control it. My poor husband didn't know what to do. At least it's being talked about a bit more, so people know to be a little more sensitive around us "infertiles."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01886439068008420190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-53815988682270860492010-05-24T09:13:36.266-07:002010-05-24T09:13:36.266-07:00Faith its a little funny.

Because most people will just never understand everything that is taken away, and how you do feel scraped out and die a little bit inside. Sadly, we each know pretty much exactly how the other feels. I know that your lovely adopted baby will never take away the pain that you have gone through, although finally being a mother will provide a glorious distraction. You will always miss your lost children. I feel lucky to have the support of such a joyful woman, youre hopeful where Im jaded and its slowly been seeping in and inspiring me. I know what its like to get the wind knocked out of your sail when you least expect it. I want you to know that its ok for the grief to still be raw. <br /><br />xxEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921112333988542529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176819118574225816.post-11999687494148441252010-05-24T04:35:20.769-07:002010-05-24T04:35:20.769-07:00Faith, you wrote this perfectly.
