it's been 2 wks, and i have been avoiding most of my friends, especially the ones who knew what happened. i don't want to talk about it (mostly cuz none of them have gone through it, as far as i know). i feel fine here, online. just not especially social. still feeling sad, and if i talk about it even to the hubby, i will still cry.

how are you guys doing?

its been 5 weeks for me and i am still not really social i am getting a little better depending on who it is but my sis is 30 weeks right now and she called the other night and i really didn't even want to talk to her cuz she kept going on and on and on and don't get me wrong i am happy she and baby are good but at the same time it makes my heart hurt! besides my hubby and just mommies i haven't really had much to do with anyone. I hope you start feeling better glad we can all be here for each other

Getting back to your social scene is a very hard thing to do. I stayed at home away from work for almost 4 weeks. That day that I had to go back to work I was terrified, but I went in there with a smile on my face and was welcomed with warmth. When I lost my son my aunt told me that when she experienced her miscarriage that she found herself consoling people more than people consoling her. Because people just don't know what to say. I know that this is such a scary time for you but look at it as moving forward, not moving on. You will never forget your little one that you lost and and it will not be easy to be around people at first, but just remember that those people care about you. Take care and good luck with going back out into the world. You can do it and it will get easier. I sooooo feel your pain right now girl

Linda thats a toughie. I had my m/c on a friday, cried my eyes out all weekend, and had to go back to work on monday. All my friends were texting/ emailing me to see how it was going and so i just faced it head on. I told each one that i had lost my pregnancy, they all had kind words to say, and Ive tried to move forward. the hardest part was calling my parents... having my dad answer, and saying "dont expect me to have a newborn when you come see my in Dec. I lost the baby" i could hear his heart drop out of his chest. not necessairly because he was sad i lost it, but because he could hear my heark breaking with each sob. I still cry everyday at least once. Especially when I stop to think about it. My necklace came in the mail (the miscarriage one) that i ordered and i know this will sound dumb but... i havnt taken it off since i got it, and it makes me feel better. almost like my lil bean is somewhat still with me. I think it helps alot. When im on the brink of tears, i reach down and touch my necklace and think... its not like i lost you forever.

ugh... and the crying starts again...sheesh

hope that helps... everyone is different hunny.
