Parenting after a Loss

It's been a year and it feels like just yesterday

It's been a year today since I lost my second angel, and although so much has happened since then it still feels so raw. I'm thankful every day that Quinn has joined our family and I know that it wouldn't be possible if I had been able to carry the baby last fall, but I selfishly want them both. I really hate angelversaries. Therefore since I just fed Quinn I'm going to have a glass of wine and cry about it. 

Also, in case she's lurking from PGAL- Trishiepoo, just want you to know I'm thinking of you and sending you love today too. It never gets any easier- and you never forget. (HUGS) 

After two losses, a rainbow arrived! DD born 11.5.11
Dx with severe Asherman's syndrome after a botched PP D&C (pursuing med mal)
Hysteroscopy Oct '13, not enough progress 
Hysteroscopy Jan '14, given an end-of-the-road diagnosis
Joined International Asherman's Association April '14 
Not ready to give up yet.
Hysteroscopy with Dr. Isaacson (an expert in the USA) 6.2.14: Good prognosis, at least 50% of cavity open.
Repeat hysteroscopy scheduled with Dr. I on 6.16.14. Great progress. Unbenched!!!!
Discussing actively TTC with DH after the heartache of the last year. We're both reeling.
 
Please, please, please.

  • Just wanted to offer you hugs. I'm sure there are many of us who feel that way about angels, too.

    My angelversaries (love that, btw) are coming up shortly and I'm feeling a little sad.  Tomorrow will make 2 years from my first BFP and December 8th was when my loss was confirmed.  It doesn't make us love our LOs any less that we still think of our angels.  We should never forget them.  ((more hugs))

  • Huge huge hugs...I just passed my second bfp that quickly resulted in a drawn out loss. A few people told me I have come so far and I almost felt they expected me to be grateful instead of sad. Although our LOs are amazing gifts it doesn't change the pain of the past. You will never forget and I'm sure it makes you 1 billion times the mom. I'm sorry for the hard day....snuggle that pretty lady for me and enjoy some wine!!
