Miscarriage

My dreams are crashing down and I feel that all eyes are on me, on my fertility, family history, my genetic hand.  I am told that it’s not my fault.  They all claim that, hoping I will believe that a child’s death inside of me is insignificant.  My mind reaches out to grasp for an answer.  I am quieted by the vastness of the unknown, my breath sucked out of me from the vacuum of space.  My only comfort is time passed.

  1. A miscarriage is really hard. I'm so sorry you've had to go through that Maria. No matter how common it is, it never changes the fact that you wanted that baby. I was totally crushed when it happened to us.

  2. I am so sorry, Maria. I can't imagine how hard this must be for both you and Dusty. I'll be thinking of you.
