Due date.

Today is (was, would have been) my due date, and I'm pretty sad. I didn't think it would hit me this hard, but here it is, and it has.

Same thing happened to me. The miscarriage honestly didn't affect me that much, but the due date was something different.

Didn't help that on that day my little girl brought a doll to me and wanted me to put it under my shirt and play like I was having a baby. (Of course she had no clue about the due date thing.) Maybe that did help, though. It broke me. Maybe I needed to be broken to heal pain I'd been repressing.

I haven't commented before but felt the need to today - I lost my second child seven years ago...and still remember her every year. Don't ever let it go - it hurts less as time goes by but that doesn't make it any easier for this moment in time. Wishing you a quiet strength today - hug Henry and relish his nearness.

Same thing happened to me. I knew it was coming, didn't expect to get derailed, yet I did. Came unglued for several days in fact.

We miscarried around the same time. My due date was November 8th, and I was delighted to announce that we were pregnant again.

I miscarried again yesterday. It sucks. It's amazing to realize how much hope and how many dreams are based on something you simply don't have any control over.

I'm sorry for your loss, Alice. It's always ok to grieve. Never forget that you are not alone.

blessed be...Karen

I can't imagine how you must be feeling, but I'm thinking of you.

[Angie]

Oh, I'm really sorry. It is bound to painful - go easy on yourself.

[Barb]

Oh! I'm so sorry. It is hard, especially when it takes you by surprise. Be good to yourself.

[Dawn]

Aw, sweetie. Perfectly normal reaction. Just be gentle with you.

I still remember the due date of the baby I lost. It was April 8.

Aug. 3rd will always be a date that sticks in my mind, as it was the due date for my first child. The one I never got to meet. The pain that day was unimaginable. It does get better with time, but unforgotten.

Know that you aren't alone in your feelings and they do indeed ease with time. Hugs to you on very difficult day.

[Rebecca]

I am so sorry.

[Sandi]

Alice, I love you (hope that's not wierd). Sorry you're hurting. A family member had a son the same week my first child would have been due. It's really tough to go to family events and see her little boy....but not mine.

[Dee]

[Lucia]

Sending you such a huge hug. x

[amanda]

Thinking of you, honey. I can't imagine how hard it must be. I have hope that maybe you will be able to start to feel better soon, now that the due date has passed...I'm sure the anticipation of the day was very difficult too.

[Mary]

I'm so sorry. I will be there in about two weeks, and though I am in a better place now, I am dreading that day.

Take good care. Thinking of you.

[Dani]

I am sorry for your loss. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

[EOMama]

I was wondering about how this would hit you and assumed it would be rough, to say the least. Hope you're taking care of yourself and feeling better soon...

[Amy]

I'm sorry.

[Peggyp]

I'm sorry

[stephanie]

of course it has. xoxoxoxo

[ozma]

Sorry. It is so hard. That thing about time healing all wounds is only sort of true. I will be thinking of you.

[Tania]

So very sorry. It must be so very hard.

[Lisa V]

So sorry Alice.

It's been twenty years since my first miscarriage. I still say every May, "wow, I would've had twins who would be X number of years old."

The baby died. The dream didn't.

I'm sorry for your grief and pain.
