Sadness...

I don't know why I do this to myself. Today after 4 months I finally went to the pregnancy and parenting message boards and visited the August 2007 expecting club. It was the board I had been visiting before my miscarriage. Since I am home alone, I think the sadness really hit me again.

I try to remember my belief that all things happen for a reason. During the last few months I have really learned a lot about myself and my goals. I also realized I can't keep planning for the life I'll lead when I "lose the weight." Life is giving me so many opportunites right now, and I have to stop passing by those gifts.

On a positive note, I don't think any other experience could have affected me more deeply or given me more motivation to stay on track. It's amazing how the desire to have a healthy pregnancy and child can overpower the temptation I once struggled with. I feel like fate finally hit me over the head hard enough to knock me out of the fog I've been in for 20+ years.

Does anyone else have a powerful life experience that helps them along this journey?

I remember having a similar feeling when DH and I first gave up on IF treatments and decided to pursue adoption.

Don't expect the pain to be gone quickly. Some think because it wasn't born yet it doesn't count, but to those of us who have lost.......WE KNOW it
