hello

2010mommy! · February 2012

i have been a frequent poster on the bump, for both my pregnancies.

one month ago today, we said goodbye to our son. i was 23w. without going into a long story and many tears, it was tfmr.

i've wanted to post on here many times since then, but could never bring myself to. i'm having an especially rough day today, and i just felt the need to put this out there.

i want to thank the women on this board who have shared their tfmr stories. i've read pretty much all of them, and they've helped me a lot in this past month. maybe one day i'll be able to write more, and help others too.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That first milestone is tough, the other extremly hard one is the due date. I hate to say welcome to this board, but I'm glad your here and posting. The women here are great and its an excellent form of support from people who completely understand.

Welcome to the board. The women here are amazing and have been a tremendous support to me when I had great days and when I've had bad days. You can totally be yourself here and no one will judge.

I am so sorry for the loss of your lil Sebastian! It is real hard at the beginning but we are here if you ever need to talk, cry, or anything. I'm sorry you have to join us.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know there are no words to ease your pain, but we're all here for you and we've all had the same kinds of feelings. I've never met any of the women on this board, but in a way I think they understand me better than anyone I know IRL. I hope you find comfort and support here.

I am so sorry for the loss of your baby Sebastian.

Take your time in posting your story and I am glad you have been able to take some comfort in the stories from some of the women here. I wish you peace in the comming weeks and know that if you need to vent or just have something to say, you can.

You don't have to post your story to be a part of the wonderful group of ladies here. All of our losses are very personal and we all grieve differently. Share when you are ready or even not at all if that day doesn't come. Just know that no matter what we are here when and if you need us.

Huge Hugs.

I'm sorry about your loss. Being on this board is hard as it is. Don't worry if you can't share your story right away. Lots of hugs!

2010mommy! · February 2012

i am so incredibly touched by all your responses. thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for all your support. it's like lrichmond86 said--you guys understand so much more than anyone IRL. i'm in tears right now just reading all of your posts.

i'm so amazed by all of your strength, and by your open arms.

i am truly so humbled. i am so sorry for everyone's losses here. in the coming days, weeks, months, i hope to post more often, and to get to know you, and all your stories, better.

thank you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost our son just 3 days shy of 23 weeks. It was so hard to let go when I felt like we had "come so far", if that makes any sense.

It's okay if you don't want to share your story. Sometimes just lurking helps. Like pp have said, the ladies here just "get it" and that alone is a comfort.
