Maybe it was just the wife's "come over every day" comment and how differently it turned out. I'm sorry, Loribeth. We lose so much more than our babies, don't we?ms.

I'm so sorry you experienced this loss of friendship so soon after the loss of Katie. It is strange - the wife sounded like she started out being very sensitive, in a way that many people are not when it comes to pg loss and infertility. I think those situations are the hardest - when someone seems to "get it" at first and is very sensitive and then for whatever reason they aren't any more. <BR/>To me those situations are more hurtful than the people who never "got it" in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-66142716944959118642008-02-12T09:58:00.000-05:002008-02-12T09:58:00.000-05:00I'm sorry you had to go through this loss on top o...I'm sorry you had to go through this loss on top of the loss of Katie. It is strange - the wife seemed like she started out being very sensitive (in a way most people aren't) after your loss. Sometimes I think those are the hardest situations - when someone is sensitive and seems to "get it" and then for whatever reason doesn't anymore. I don't expect as much from the people who never "get it" in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-57143833057183256042008-02-12T09:57:00.000-05:002008-02-12T09:57:00.000-05:00Agreed - I often felt like I had to make everyone ...Agreed - I often felt like I had to make everyone else feel better about my loss(es) and I was the one hurting the most! I think most of them just didn't know what to say and so said and did nothing out of not wanting to cause more pain. But yeah, there were friendships that were never the same again or completely disappeared over the course of my miscarriages. <BR/><BR/>I will add though - my angels did bring me other friends, friends I treasure and who understand and helped me heal and come to appreciate my angels as much as mourn them. So yes, I had much taken away, but I was also given much in other ways. Yes Lori - that would be you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-4002189112239848202008-02-12T01:17:00.000-05:002008-02-12T01:17:00.000-05:00such a sad story.
