Disqualified Grief
This article above was posted on facebook by a friend/family member of mine and I thought it really meant a lot. This woman fights and grieves for abortion reform with other pro lifers but when she honors her child taht was lost they are tense, weird, uncomfortable and discount her feelings. We ALL should recognize that grief is not something we should ignore and losing your child at any age, at any time is difficult.
I miscarried in 2007 in my 2nd trimester and have dealt with medical/emotional issues since then, trying to move past the problems and the pain. Every day is a chance to find a silver lining and a positive outlook on my now changed life. There is a 7% chance I can conceive, and that is only if my health changes dramatically soon. I would'nt have thought about children at this time in my life had it not been taken from me.
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.

Beyonce miscarriage
I'm not one who usually follows celebrities and their lives but I do think that I will be watching this show about Beyonce. I like that she keeps herself private and doesn't do everything for show and I admire anyone who is strong enough to talk about their miscarriage and what that felt like to such a large audience.
