1. How long has it been since your loss? Have you passed any milestones and how did it go? (Please send me a PM if your info needs to be added or updated.) 6 months tomorrow (9/30).
2. Any updates/how are you feeling? Doing ok. My BFF who was pregnant at the same time as me, but had a miscarriage during her 1 trimester is pregnant again and revealed she was having a boy yesterday. I tried my best to be happy but admit that I was a little jealous. I know my time will come, but it still hurts.
3. Has anyone attended therapy (either group or one on one)? If so, did spouse attend? Was it helpful? I have attended group support with SHARE Atlanta. It was the women's only group. DH and I never attended the couples group. I really enjoyed the support group. There were a variety of loss situations and loss at gestational age. The facilitator had different topics each session such as secondary loss, dealing with loss, dealing with future family planning, spousal support, etc.
We love and miss you Jillian (18w) and Peanut (6w). Welcome to our TAC miracle Jacob!

It's been 9 months and 6 days since I lost Nikolai.
2. Any updates/how are you feeling?
It depend a lot on the day. Some days I feel full of hope and others I have to go minute by minute. I have been feeling a little sad these last several days because I am very nostalgic for this time last last year when I was still expecting to have a take home baby.

My husband and I grieved very differently and in the end we did go into therapy together. We are no longer together; but in some ways I will say that it was helpful.
4. Any suggestions for questions you'd like to ask the group? What are your plans for TTC in the future? What are you doing if you can't try again?1. How long has it been since your loss?

It's been a little less than 3 mos since our loss. No recent milestones.
2. Any updates/how are you feeling?
Some good days, some bad. I still spend the majority of my time thinking about little Sylvie. But somedays that's ok. Somedays I just want my baby back.

We attended the hospital support group once. There was only 1 other couple, but it was good to talk to someone with a similar experience. I've also been seeing a therapist who specializes in pregnancy loss on a weekly basis. DH attended the first session. I've found these sessions to be a good way for me to process my grief. She's very familiar with this kind of loss and has given me some constructive ways to deal with it.

(Please send me a PM if your info needs to be added or updated.) -- We learned about the grim news of our pregnancy almost two weeks ago. I go back in for my next appt on Oct 4th to check my blood pressure and for the baby's heartbeat.

3. Has anyone attended therapy (either group or one on one)? If so, did spouse attend? Was it helpful? No therapy yet, though we have talked about seeing a greif counselor to assure we are taking the correct steps.

It was a year ago on Tuesday. =( I have no idea where a year went.
2. Any updates/how are you feeling?
I am doing well these days, the anticipation of his angel-versay was much harder than the actual day.

I have been seeing a grief counsler weekly for the past six months. I had very much turned all my hurt and pain in on myself until some very loving friends and family basically had a mini intervention to tell me that I needed professional help. I am quite sure that Cheryl (my counsler) is one of the only people that could have and has saved me from myself. DH and I from the moment we lost Matt have grieved differently, but always supported each others choices. I will most likely switch from weekly individual sessions to group therapy in the not so distant future.
