Her boss (my peer) said to her, "I don't know why you're so upset about this. It's not like you lost a baby or anything." I could not believe the coldness in that statement.
Fortunately, our boss didn't keep her (my peer) around long after that.
TY, I appreciate it.
G-d bless all mothers who have lost a baby. We lost two, some years back.
The hospital was so unbelievably insensitive — they took me, sobbing, past all the NEWBORNS, through the birth department with all the joyous balloons and flowers and photos of happy chubby babies on the walls...
Great article.
My husband used to give me cards ‘from my dogs’ on Mother’s Day.
After two failed early-term pregnancies, 12 years apart, [never used birth control] the dogs are all I’ve got because I’m just too old now.
I had him stop with the dog cards when perimenopause hit because it caused more pain than comfort, knowing the chances were all gone, now.
I always wonder if they’ll know me or I’ll know them when I see them on the other side.
I don’t even know if they were boys or girls...it was too early to tell.
Jesus wept as well.
I’m sorry for your loss and your terrible experience in the hospital. May God comfort you.
We lost our last one at 16w6d in Jan 2010. I was making breakfast when my water broke. It was awful, devastating. Would’ve been our 10th child, I am thankful my youngest was happy to still be “the baby”.
That was a really awful thing to say to her! That must have cut your friend like a knife. At least the baby had those 5 months with her and her family. And at least she got to hold the little one close to her for that time as well.
May God comfort you and dry your tears.
That is horrible. When I lost my first, they took me out of the ER and gave the ‘room’ to an illegal alien with a cold. I miscarried my baby in a hallway and a public toilet. Then when I asked for the baby, I was told it was ‘bio-hazard material’ and I they would have to see if they could release it.
I know we have our differences, but I do understand. HUGS
What are our differences? I am sad for you. Losing a baby is becoming a member of a sad club that no one wants to be in. My heart breaks for every one.
I am sad for you and for all other mothers who never got to raise their babies that they loved from the moment they found out they were pregnant.
