Is there any desire to put some regular posts/structure to this board, similar to the birth months or ttgp boards? People would be welcome to still post generic intros posts, but we'd also have some regular posts. People can join in and leave as they feel appropriate.
If so, I'm happy to help lead the charge. I think it would help build a community here, beyond just responding to each other's intros and questions. I know personally, I'd love to connect with women who understand what I'm going through (at least to some extent; I know no two miscarriages or situations are the same) and have the ability to share our experiences, without having to talk about loss all day long. If that makes sense...
If not, I'll retreat.

Monday - Weekly Check In (generic set of questions) Tuesday - 10 Things Tuesday - share 10 random facts about yourself Wednesday - WTF Wednesday. Have something ridiculous happen? Someone say something crazy to you? Share it here. Thursday - Tasty Thursday - share a good recipe! Friday - FFFC - Flame Free Friday Confession - although in my experience they aren't always flame-free. It's more of a chance to share confessions/unpopular opinions.
I'm open to changing any of the topics. I tried to give us a mixture - ones that worked on other boards, positive ones, negative ones, etc. Any other topics you've used on boards that you really liked?

I can start tomorrow to just to get it going. I don't know that I'll be able to create the thread every day, so others should feel free to get the ball rolling if you don't see it posted.

I think this is great, I would also suggest having a weekly or bi weekly objective to help us with our grieving process. Let's say (for example) this week we'll all do something for ourselves that makes you happy, treat yourself to a massage, mani pedi, go for a run, just about anything that makes you smile and share your experience.
