Late Term and Child Loss

Do you think it could be worse? *just thinking outloud*

After bad things have happened in my life, I've always kind of thought that if that event was the worst thing that ever happened to me, then I have it pretty good.  Losing jobs, losing grandparents, etc - they were sad, but I knew that I had it pretty good if that was the worst thing that ever happened.

Then this loss happened.  It is by far the worst thing that has ever happened to me.  Aside from losing my husband or a live-child (we knew Baby had died before he was born), I really can't imagine that anything would be worse.

Do you agree?  Do you think this is the worst thing that could ever happen to you?  Can I breath easier knowing that nothing worse could really happen, so life will be never be as horrible as this experience was?

  • I think about this all the time and I've decided (for myself anyway) that this has to be the worst think that could ever happen.  The only thing that I think could ever happen that would be worse is if my DH, a living child, and my dog all became angels at the same time (from like a car accident or tornado or something) but I'm pretty sure this is the worst it gets.  Whenever I'm having a bad day or someone makes me mad, or I'm running and I'm in pain I tell myself "everything is nothing, nothing hurts as bad as not having Corbin and nothing ever will."  I've said this to myself and then went on to run 2 or 3 miles.  I agree.  This has to be the worst.

  • I lost my 19 month old....It is the worst thing that could every have happened to me...It is debilitating and sometimes it feels like my whole self is flayed open on the ground and that everyone that looks at me sees only that and they can't be normal around me because I make them sad.

    I know how my life should be because I had it, I had her here alive for almost 2 years, I fell in love with the person she was and who she was going to become.  I felt her kisses, her hugs, her tears, heard her cries, saw her face light up with laughter.  I don't have that anymore and a huge part of me will always be gone because she is gone and I know what she should be. 

    But it could be worse.  I could lose my rainbow baby too, I couldn't live through it twice.  Hoenstly, I could not, would not, live through it twice.

  • I think going through infertility and then losing my two precious babies is the worst thing that could happen to me. But I guess it could always be worse. There was a Christmas fire last year in the town next to me, and a woman lost both of her parents and all 3 of her kids. That's worse, in my opinion. But I hope we all met out quota for life.

  • Up to this point in my life, this is absolutely the worst thing that could happen to me. I think the only thing worse that could happen is if I lost my husband or my living child. I hope this is the worst for me.

    What scares me most of all is that it will happen again and I will lose my daughter or the baby I am pg with now.  I've read recently about two couples who have lost two children.  I just cannot fathom that pain.

    This! I am soooo scared that something will happen to Zachary. I am already broken, I know I could not survive if I lost him too.

  • Oh, I hope not. I don't know how I could handle much more. I am ready to get to 2013, 2012 has been terrible.
  • I don't think there is anything worse than losing a child.  I can't imagine it getting any worse than it is right now, but like the other posters said; it could get worse, another late loss would put me over the edge, losing my husband at a time like this...oh god, I don't even want to think what "could" happen.  I truly hope that there is nothing worse than this loss.

  • Every time in the last 18 months that I have asked myself "can it get any worse?". God has shown me that yes, it absolutely can be worse.


    Cancer hasn't killed my husband yet, and my daughter is alive. I survived a massive PE and a host of other medical issues. I have a lot to be thankful for, and know that without a doubt, things could always be worse.
