Can't shake the sadness. Just want the holidays to be over.

It has been such a hard couple of days. Told family Wednersday night about the pregnancy and woke up bleeding the next day. Went in on Friday for u/s and saw the empty uterus. House full of company, shopping left to do, cooking and getting ready for Christmas Eve party while trying to keep from bursting into tears was awful. Just want to be alone.

I'm so sorry for your loss, especially around the holidays. Hope the rest of the day goes well for you. It will get easier with time. **Hugs**

I totally understand how you feel and I just wanted to reach out and give you a hug. I feel the same exact way. I went to church last night and was miserable. It took everything to keep from crying and my mom, as kind as she is, keeps acting like I might "feel better" if I went to church and sang. Why would I want to sing when every song is about a baby??

I have to cook dinner and have 11 over tonight so I know the feeling. All I can say is one foot in front of the other, one hour at a time. If one hour is too hard, 10 minutes at a time. The good news is it will end (the holiday, that is) AND you have people here who understand and care so just lean on us when you need to.

I completely understand and feel for you. Every quiet moment I have I am in tears, but I am actually finding comfort in being around family and friends right now -- it forces me to put on a smile and pretend like everything is ok. I'm sure we'll get through this.

My husband poured me a glass of wine which normally I would love but its like drinking wine makes it final, so I just sat there looking at it unable to take a sip. weird stuff like that keeps happening. Got a shirt from MIL that is super cute and would work as a maternity shirt for a while so that made me sad.

HUGS I am sorry.

I left our family Xmas Party when my pregnant SIL showed up. As soon as I saw her belly I couldn't keep the tears at bay. I even gave myself a pep talk all day about seeing her that I had to move forward.

Sadly last night was not the day to move forward, she is due 3 weeks before what would have been my due date.

sending big hugs your way ((HUGS)). I know the feeling, I love christmas time but this year is miserable, I had zero motivation to cook, wrap gifts, send cards! I hate to associate these horrible sad feelings with christmas time. I was so ready for the holidays to be over, literally counting down the minutes until we could leave MIL's house! She set me off right away - I was about 10 minutes in the house and she said Oh Lauren!! Would u like a glass of wine? Bc u know u can have it now! REALLY? u b*tch! I wanted to strangle her! Anyway, I came home & was feeling sort of sad & emotional. I looked around my house & decided that I needed to remove all the christmas stuff right that second just to get back to some kind of "normal" & forget about christmas time & move on now! The days will get better some will be better than others, I have been feeling better the past few days but I think that christmas just made it more emotional. but please stop by this board often it has been a savior to me! ((HUGS))
