TTC After a Loss

Something DH said that helps me cope...

some of you will like this and some of you will not, but it has definitely helped me in some moments of sorrow.  after my surgery when we were dealing with our grief, dh was rationalizing everything and realized that if his mother did not have her miscarraige between his sister and him, he would not have been born and my life would be completely different.  he continued to say that once we have our baby we will love it so much that we could not imagine life with out that baby.  i am not in any way saying that someone should be happy about losing a baby or that we would not have loved it just as much..but it has given me some comfort and thought i would share.

  • That's a positive outlook on it. I do agree, I wish no one ever had to go through the loss of a baby. But trying to see it was "one door closes, another opens" helps sometimes. :) Thanks for sharing!!

  • I've had that thought before. Growing up my mom was never shy about telling me how she struggled with infertility for 9 years before she had me. She used to say that she didn't understand the purpose of all that pain and heartbreak until she held me for the first time. It doesn't make the pain any less, but I do find comfort in it at the same time.

  • I too am a baby that never would have been. My parent's weren't going to have any more children, my dad had an appointment to be "snipped", than my brother died from SIDS at two months old and they decided to try one more time for a girl. I like to think that my brother would have been a great person, but I'm so thankful that he stepped down and gave me a chance. I just need to make sure I make him proud.

  • What a beautiful sentiment - your DH is really sweet.  A part of me knows that things happen for a reason - it doesn't necessarily make it easier for my heart - but it helps my mind to bear the pain.  Thank you for sharing!!Smile

  • That is a positive way to look at it.  My MIL had a m/c between DH's two older brothers.  The loss we have suffered is terrible but when we do have a healthy baby in our arms we will be all that more thankful.

  • I realized this today.  A friend who had a baby a couple of months ago was telling me she miscarried last summer.  I realized that she wouldn't have the sweet baby she has today if she had not miscarried.  It doesn't make the miscarriage any less painful, but it shows God's plan and faith we must have in it.
