I want to thank Lisa for pointing this out to me. We had a miscarriage what feels like a million years ago. I was right at the end of the 3rd month going into the 4th month when it happened. It was probably the single most painful, traumatizing, burned in my memory forever experience that I will ever go through. I can go through every moment of that day in my mind even now after many years. The bleeding, the phone ringing, the ambulance siren, the feeling of being lost in a sea of confusion…. it’s all a very vivid memory, nightmare, bad dream ….

A miscarriage is something the world seems to make us feel like we should be embarrassed or ashamed of. A dark secret never to be spoken of. Or maybe it’s just too painful and awful for people to have to think about. The truth is that it happens and it happens very often to many women every single year, maybe even every single day all across the world. And it never, ever gets any easier for any of them.

Miscarriage’s that are ignored often lead to depression, anger, resentment, drug use and ultimately drug rehab, and many forms of treatment for various types of depression. And I don’t just mean the confusing PPD (post partum depression) that occurs, I mean serious life ending depression. So if you know that has had a miscarriage, recently or ever, give them a hug. Trust me, they need it.

Light a Candle and think hopeful thoughts please

P.S. I apologize for cross posting, if you read my other blogs you might see this again today.
