A little background info....

I have been dealing with medical issues regarding my reproduction capability for the last three and a half years after a very bad miscarriage situation. As I was working through a difficult period one day I realized that more and more people and characters around me seem to be dealing with similar circumstances. TV shows, movies, neighbors and friends are struggling because they cannot or may not have children. This is a place to express my feelings about my situation and hopefully help someone else express theirs.

I may not know what other mothers know, but I am a mother without my child and I do what I can to cope.

10-15

Yesterday was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.  Sounds like a long and sad name, but if you think about it its pretty nice.  A lot of ladies feel like they cannot talk about the loss of a baby or miscarriage.  Many people feel like this is less of a loss because they are not born yet or are alive for such a short time.  I, obviously, feel the opposite of this and want to celebrate the people that have gone through it.  All people should be able to express their grief and should be encouraged to deal with that issue instead of push it away or ignore it.  I hope that everyone has the opportunity in their life to share their joys and pains with someone.  I hope that all of you have someone you can talk to or be with when you are dealing with difficult times, pregnancy related or not.  Take this day of remembrance and hold those close to you that have dealt with difficult times.  It can be embarrassing and confusing.  Give strength to those that need it in your life and don't be afraid to ask when you need a little back.
