Pregnancy Loss
I remember not so long ago when we were blissfully naive to pregnancy loss, formally known as miscarriage. I bet you didn't know that 25 percent of all medically recorded pregnancies end in loss. I definitely didn't know that until about three weeks ago when my doctor loudly recited the statistics to us over my uncontrollable sobbing. I bet you didn't know that all the well intentioned cliches such as "your still young," or " at least it happened now and not when you knew your baby" and "you can always try again" really make a grieving parent feel like hiding away, never to be seen again. I bet you didn't know that most grieving parents, like any proud parents, want more than anything is to talk about their baby. In this relentless never ending pain, some of the sweetest forms of relief have been saying a babies name, remembering a babies due date or that children are siblings whether everyone is living or not.
