Pregnancy And Infant Loss

Good evening. Friday blog. October is awareness, for this very real and painful loss and the grief we suffer alone. Nobody wants to talk about it. I had a miscarriage at 4 months along, in April of 1971. Guess what? When I left the hospital, it was was never mentioned what I went through, at 18. I miscarried in the middle of the night with a wonderful nurse by my side. I had the pleasure of going to school with her daughter! I have since told that classmate how wonderful her mom was. My husband at that time. Got rid of the baby things before I came home! The loss of that baby was never mentioned by anyone, except for one family member, that said, in the hospital. Where’s yours! That took time to forgive. I had my son the following year. Remarried, had a miscarriage at only 6 weeks. We had our daughter that same year. Denny and I spoke to each other about our pain and loss and I have always been thankful for my two children. They had two more siblings! I think you all get my point. How many, countless couples went through this? I know some, I know there are many more. How many stories have been swept under the rug? Right up there with mental illness! Please get help, but don’t tell anyone. You cannot make people aware of anything if you don’t open your mouth! I am so tired of these painful issues in life, being treated like a bump in the night! I will be the town crier for anyone or anything, if it helps someone! So, pray for each other. You do not know what many have faced alone, because of the stigma of ignorance! That’s my rant tonight for innocent babies that have never been acknowledged. I have 4 children from my body. Two live in heaven. Thank you Lord! Good night. God bless.❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
