I created this website today, and put every video and a poem I had up on my facebook page, as I go through the grief process, and healing process, more will come. I wanted a place I could remember my loss. Just a few weeks after finding out I was pregnant I lost my baby. I am so sad. And this website I wanted to go through music and poems, what no words can express how I felt.

I know how you feel. I had a miscarriage and 2 mtonhs later i found out i was pregnant again. I know until you hit that 12 week mark you are going to be anxious, try maybe taking a warm bath with some lavender scented bath gel before you go to bed to relax your body and maybe it will help you sleep better. When you wake up from one of those dreams, just take a few deep breaths, and i know it sounds kinda wierd but i used to touch my tummy (well the lil bump that was there) alot just to remind myself that i was blessed enough to get pregnant again and it would make me wonder what this baby would look like, what gender, what name i would give and eventually my anxious feeling would go away. I really hope this helps

Comment on Anthropology & Miscarriage by Prem

I normally don’t cnmmeot on these things but this story has touched my heart. While I am not a proponent of having 19 children, that is a personal family choice (my mother is the oldest of 14).Having a miscarriage is a very personal and devastating, life changing event. I have one beautiful miracle following 2 miscarriages and just recently suffered my third miscarriage. The third miscarriage was in no way easier than the first two. It was equally difficult.And I know from personal experience people don’t really know what to say in these instances. I try to remember that when people approach me and say At least you have (insert name of my child) with what the think is a reassuring and comforting pat.I could choose to get snippy and ask what they mean by that (as if the child I just lost was less important that my living child) or I could (which is the route I take) remind myself that there are no words to comfort.My heart goes out to the Duggars. They are in my thoughts and prayers.
