Hey everyone, I hope your doing well today.
Today has been a productive day for me. I got a lot done and the house looks nice again. =) Right now the babies are napping so I can be here for a little bit.
I was thinking about Tuesday earlier, which is a hard day for me. It falls right between my husband's birthday and my oldest son's birthday. I had a miscarriage 3 years ago on October 24th, I was 15 weeks along in my pregnancy when it happened.
Yes, I have 5 amazing and beautiful children for which I am very grateful for but that day is always a day of remembering the little angel I lost. So, it's a tough one for me.
I don't allow the day to steal my joy but it's still a sad memory for me, even 3 years later and it always starts to come back to the front of my mind a few days before it comes...
Do you have a sad memory that comes to mind a few days before the day?

Hard as I try to keep a memory from popping into my brain, it comes up. I too lost a child. He would be 41 if I had carried him full-term. I lost him at the beginning of my 4th month of pregnancy. Mid November is always a sad time for me.

@NJChicaa I guess it is because your not a mother. The little angel I lost was a baby-not just some cells. So yes, it is a painful memory no matter how many years go by.

So sorry I know it is difficult for you. It is something that will always be with you. My dad passed away on October 25th 17 years ago and as the day nears it bothers me more. Even though it has been 17 years I still miss him terribly. It is always a difficult day for me.

We (my ex and I) also lost one through a miscarriage and it happened at home and at the hospital I almost lost my ex also through mishandling the situation. It does come back to my mind from time to time. We have to wait and see what God will do about that situation in the future. I share some of your feelings on your loss.

I know how you feel because I had a miscarriage between my two boys. It started happening right on Christmas Day 1993 while visiting with my relatives. It was a real early pregnancy, but it still depressed me a lot.

One of the saddest memories happened when I was in 8th grade and a friend's mother met us at the bus stop to tell us another friend who as in 9th grade in high school was killed in a wreck that rainy day going to school that killed her and another and injured the sister and two other's in the car all because someone had turned the stop sign on the side street and a truck ran into the. So sad that two lives were lost because someone thought it funny to turn the stop sign.

@Elizaby I'm sorry for the loss of your friends. =( I have been through that a few times now and the biggest feeling is shock and unbelief. It's awful.

Oh how I can relate with morning for something that was once a part of you, and Sorry to hear of the miscarriage. I have had 3 for sure, and possibly 4, so I can relate with loosing a life. At least you have your other kids to enjoy and find joy with.

I lost two twin boys and two twin girls all premature.
I was able to sit with the little boys as in England they were more advanced and treated me well so I got over it much better than the girls whom I lost over here.
Whatever amount of weeks they were its always a painful memory for each one of us.
So sorry you lost him or her.
You will always carry the memory in your heart though no matter what.

I am, sorry to hear of your loss. August is mine and my mothers birthday, but also on the first of August is the day my grandmother passed away. My mom passed away this year in September, So I have a feeling September will Also be a month that affects me next year.

My sister told me sometime this year after she lost her daughter, if you have nothing to say to someone who is grieving just be silent and let them know you are there. All the people who knew the departed had a different relationship with them and grieve differently.Some people give off remarks just so as to be seen as helpful and in some cases end up hurting people.
I still have sad memories of when my mom passed on in the month of September (The fact that it's the same day as my dad's and sisters birthday...)and on her birthday in November.
