Sorry for my absence. And thank you for all of your thoughts and support. Honestly have been without words.
I don't know how to describe the feeling of losing our sixth pregnancy. Don't even know how to process the loss internally, let alone convey it in language.
And then.
Five days after the D&C, we were rocked by another blow, another devastation. An enormous family emergency. Too personal, even on an anonymous blog, to write about, but horrendous.
This emergency is continuing to unfold. And I am still reeling from it. This one is big enough that it has disrupted grieving the miscarriage, superceded it, at least for now. And I am left gasping.
I do not know how I will get through both of these tremendous losses. Especially coming at the same time.
At the moment I am just hanging on for dear life and telling myself that things can't continue to feel like this forever.
Surely, they must get better.
Surely.

ReplyDeletepraying hard for you and your family. i am so sorry that another tragedy has struck. you are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMo, my heart goes out to you. Hang in there. x
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you often. I'm so sorry to hear about the family emergency, added on top of the 6th loss. I hope you and Will are leaning on each other and everyone around you for support.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts, Mo.
((((((hugs))))))
I am so sorry. I hope you are able to catch your breath soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you are having additional pain and grief, even on top of losing your precious baby. Positive thoughts and many prayers going out to you. It will get better...someday...hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mo. I am so sorry there is more grief added to your already full plate. I wish I knew why life often continues to kick us when we are down. I do know (from personal experience in my own "Very Dark Days") that even when there is no light at the end of the tunnel, somehow it is possible to continue on. I pray that the light reaches you soon...
ReplyDeleteI send love and many, many hugs to you today and always.
wish there was something we could do to help, more then sending good thoughts and prayers...(((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you have added pain to bear on top of your already enormous losses. Hope you and Will can keep the love and support going through all these hard times.
ReplyDeleteOh Mo. I am so sorry the pain is still so intense and that your going through a family crisis. We are all here to support you. Thinking of you and sending you strength and support.
ReplyDeleteI am really sad to hear that things are so tough. Hang on in there!
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry for all of the difficulties you and Will are going through. You will get through the losses. One day at a time, maybe even one hour at a time at some points along the way. And that's okay.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are dealing with such difficult emotional blows, do whatever you have to do, whatever you can do to give yourself a break (or at least a distraction).
Obviously I don't know your exact situation, so I don't know how feasible this is right now, but at my lowest points, a couple of times I've decided "I have to get out of here right now" and we've left for a trip literally the next day. They weren't necessarily long (3-4 nights), far away (only 5 hours driving), or expensive. But they were places we'd never been to before, which was important because it forced us to focus on where we were going and what we were doing - we couldn't be on autopilot. The trips didn't make the grief go away, but they did give us a little bit of breathing room and a little time to process it subconsciously before returning to face it consciously.
Big hugs to you and Will. You're in my thoughts.
((((hugs))))
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry.
Oh, Mo. I'm just so sorry. Yes, surely things must get better. You and Will and your family are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI wish there were something I could say that would somehow be worthy of the intense pain you're going through right now. Hoping and praying that things turn around for you, and soon. Huge hugs.
ReplyDeleteMo, I'm so sorry. I know this must be huge to be beyond all you have been through with this lastest IVF. Wishing you and your family a break, with some loving healing energy sent your way.
ReplyDeletewhatever it is, I am truly sorry.
ReplyDeleteOh Mo, you are certainly way past overdue for some amazing luck.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs.
I am so very sorry!
ReplyDeleteI don't comment, hardly ever... but my heart just breaks for you and I am praying for some peace, some rest, some restoration to your life, sanity, heart, soul... You are strong - yet you do not deserve to be tested so. I am sending prayers and hugs... so sorry!
ReplyDeleteI've been so sad for you. And now this. I went through a similar back-to-back loss and someone said "it doesn't hurt less, but less often" and for me, at least, this has been true. I hope that for you, too, the hurt will be less often.
ReplyDeleteNo one should have to bear so much and I'm just so sorry it is you...thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mo! I'm so sorry. I'm in CT with spotty internet access, but I've been thinking of you so much. Please call if there's anything I can do, or if you just want to talk.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry. The universe needs to let you up already. Know that you have so many people sending you good wishes and thinking of you. Take care of each other. {{{}}}
ReplyDeleteMo, I am so sorry. I pray for you and Will to have the strength to get through this. It's so wrong that so much could be piled on one person all at once.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you. It's got to get better.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Mo. You do not deserve all this pain, not by any stretch of the imagination. I'm sending you lots of hugs and wishes for you to find the strength to get through this amazingly difficult time.
ReplyDeleteSO sorry that you are going through so much! Have been thinking about you and praying for you since the positive pregnancy test - continuing to pray that you feel surrounded by God's love!
ReplyDeleteOh Mo, I'm so sorry. Having something else on top of the loss to grieve about- too much.
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time, and we'll finally get to the point where the sun starts to shine just a little again.
(((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for everything you're having to go through right now. I am thinking of you and your family and hoping for brighter days ahead.
I'm so sorry. I wish for some peace and calm for you to allow you to grieve.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, Mo.
ReplyDeleteThere is light at the end of the tunnel and you will get there very soon, I know it. I will keep you in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry you have so much on your plate right now. I've been thinking of you. Praying that you can see the light at the end of the tunnel soon.
ReplyDeleteSending sustaining prayers and small moments of 'maybe it'll be okay'. Hold tight to one another and know that you have many, many people sending you good thoughts. As I continue to say, please be gentle with yourself.

ReplyDeleteKelley
I'm so very sorry for everything you're going through, wish I could make it all better for you.... Huge hugs to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts. Sending you strength to get through it all.
ReplyDeleteIt's times like these I have to tell myself, over and over, and keep it as my motto:
ReplyDeleteThis Too Shall Pass.
Bad news always seems to collect other bad news until you almost get washed away with it.
But it won't always be as bad as it is right now.
I hope things calm down soon. Remember to breathe deeply.
ReplyDeleteSorry Mo. it sounds horrible.
ReplyDeleteWishing it were all easier, and trusting that in some small ways it will be, one breath at a time.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and wishing with all my might for things to get better for you soon. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you Mo... hang in there girl x
ReplyDeleteYou out of all people do not deserve to be gasping. Things WILL get better and I hope soon.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you guys! Cyber hugs!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you've been kicked when you are down. That happened to me with my first m/c. Obviously not the same thing but it seems like the universe is evil like this. I wish I had some words of wisdom for you to help you through. :(
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to hear you've been dealt another blow by the universe
ReplyDeletewho must think you are Pretty Darned Strong to cope will all of this (any of this) all at once.
Sending love to you and hopes for things to improve as fast as they can, for healing to happen as soon as it can.
XOXOXO
wishing things were different.
Oh yeah, how i wish things were different.
Kate
Oh no. I'm so sorry. Thinking of you both and hoping for the best for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteOh no, Mo. I'm so sorry that you got yet more bad news. Thinking of you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! I almost can't imagine something being able to supercede another miscarriage, so I am in shock at your situation. Whatever you can do to get through this...
ReplyDeleteHang on tight to each other.
Will keep you in my prayers and hope that life will give you a blessing and a break soon.
ReplyDeleteMeemaw
Dear Mo,
ReplyDeleteWhat to say when someone you know is hurting and you can't help? I'm never sure. But to be silent doesn't seem to be it either - I am so sorry you and Will are in this place right now. Sending you thoughts and wishes as you get through these days. And wishing there were more substantial words to convey those thoughts.
I'm so sorry for what you and Will are going through right now. This time of year is tough on us IF and you have been dealt a particularly shitty hand. You are a strong woman and you will get through this, but I know saying that doesn't make anything better right now. We are thinking of you and praying for you...always. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteNo words, just a warm hug.
ReplyDeleteAnother voice from the many who read your words sending love and support in your direction. I'm so sorry for the pain you're dealing with right now.
ReplyDeleteSo many hugs and love Mo!
ReplyDeleteHugs.
ReplyDeletexoxo

ReplyDeleteI am sorry you are having such a rough time. I hope things brighten and become easier to handle soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for more pain in your life. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Lynne
ReplyDeleteSo so sorry! :( Thinking of you and your entire family.
ReplyDeleteSo, so sorry Mo & Will. Sending strength and hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo, so sorry Mo & Will. Sending strength and hugs.
ReplyDeleteI'm just so sorry. I wish I knew what to say.
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry that you're having to deal with two such devastating events at the same time. Sending lots of prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteHugs. I am so sorry for your losses.
ReplyDeleteDamn. When it can't seem to get any worse, it did. I am so sorry Mo. I hope that at some point things start to move in the right direction for the two of you.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs,
