24 Months

Two years ago today we found out our 16 week baby no longer had a heartbeat. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to cope with. It still hurts. I still miss the life that never was to be.

Two years later, I'm glad I didn't know then how hard all of this would continue to be.

Makes me wonder what the future will hold. Makes me wonder if I'd want to know. Makes me wonder if it will ever be easier.

Sometimes I can be grateful for what I have, sometimes I wish things were so different.

carrie, it's not ungrateful to be upset with the universe because its handed you, more than once, a horrific experience. and kept from you what you need, deep in your gut, to be happy. it is what it is....sucky.
the universe owes you big and it's about time it hands it to you.
so fvckin unfair. this infertility business.
xoxoxo

I'm so sorry.. rest in peace little angel.

Sometimes when I'm at my worst I think "In a year, this won't seem so awful."
Then I found infertility & miscarriage and found that sometimes that isn't so true.

It was awful then and is awful now.

None of us deserve this.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. This date is a painful one for both of us, unfortunately. No one should have to go through the pain of something like that. My love to you. XOXO

So sorry for your loss and for the pain you still have. I hope that each passing day, month and year brings you more healing.

carrie... i am thinking of you..

"Sometimes I can be grateful for what I have, sometimes I wish things were so different." This statement hit my feelings today right on the head. It is exactly how I feel right now.

Carrie, I admire your strength. You have had enough loss and pain. I'm so sorry.

I look forward to hearing about this upcoming journey. Let '08 be a very, very different year!

Sending you some peace and love my friend. It is not fair, what the universe has put you through. I believe that you will find your true happiness. I just wish with all of my heart that it could be sooner and not later. Later has lasted long enough.

I'm so very sorry Carrie. I can't imagine how hard it must be to have come so close to having a baby and dealing with the 'what might have been's'.

Sending you a hug and hoping you feel a little better soon.

Also, thank you for your comment to me.

Hi Carrie. I know its been awhile but I just wanted to see how you are doing and thanks for checking up on me? I'm so sorry for all you've had to endure. I know I feel the same way sometimes and thinking about the future scares me now. I used to never be like this...!
