I know many of us have experienced a loss, so this is for all of us and the babies we have lost.

I am endlessly amazed by people's ability to avoid the entire subject of pregnancy loss.

I talk openly about my losses in part to try and get those around me to understand that it's something that should be talked about and that many, many women NEED to talk about.  It's hard to suffer in silence and not receive support from those around you.

Hopefully, people will read your status and at least begin to think about things.

Sometimes, I feel like, people dont know what to say. Or some people dont want to say the wrong thing.

To me, a simple thinking of you or something would be amazing and supportive.
