Hello, friends.
Jan 6, 2020, 7:24 AM

I wanted to give you an update. I said in my last post here a couple of weeks ago that I was in a situation where I felt I would experience either the best thing or the worst thing to ever happen in my life. I did not anticipate that both would happen. On Thursday, December 26th, I experienced the greatest joy in my life when I heard the heartbeat of our first child. On Friday, January 3rd, I experienced the greatest devastation in my life when we heard the stillness of a child gone so soon to heaven.
Thank you for your kind words and prayers. We are doing OK. God has been gracious to us.

I deeply regret being rude and falsely accusing you of resisting authority. Please forgive me.

I'm very sorry to hear this, sir. If there's ever evidence life isn't fair and bad things happen to good people, it's this. I wish you and your wife the very best. Sending you a TMail.

I am so sorry for your loss. My wife and I lost our first child, a girl, 28 weeks along (stillborn) in the pregnancy back on November 28, 2009. (The same day Clemson lost the first of 5 in a row to the Gamecocks. Not a good day) We were devastated. Nothing can take away the pain, but time will ease it. In December 2011, we welcomed a baby boy. 3 years later, we added a baby girl to the mix. Just wanted you to know that you aren't alone. The most important thing is to remain strong for your wife and be there to comfort her. I feel our experience only made us closer. I also feel the experience made me stronger and more loving as a father. I am grateful for the family I have, but not a day goes by that I don't think about baby Claire.

To send you a T-Mail, but for some reason, it's not letting me enter a recipient. I'll try again later.

Not that it helps, but we went through the same thing many years ago. As hard as it was for me, it was understandably (I guess) even worse for my wife. No way to understand it or make sense of it, really. Hang in there bud, y'all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My sister went through that 3 years ago

a year later son #1 arrived healthy and 3 months ago son #2 arrived. Neither of the two had/have any health problems. The first few months were devastating and there was a lot of fear with the subsequent pregnancies, but all turned out well.

Keep trying for the miracle.
It took us 5 years on the first one. Luckily we never lost one, that we know of.
I have a good friend that had 8 over the years.
Its nature.
Sometimes God makes such perfect babies that he decides to keep them.

can imagine, although that doesn't make it feel any better.
As others have alluded, as devastated as you are, your wife is likely feeling it on a completely different level than we can understand, so she needs you now like you can't imagine. Prayers for you and your family.

Agreed. Sometimes people think it's so easy to have a child and don't understand why some couples struggle. It's very difficult for many, many of them, but as you said, especially for the woman.

my wife and I suffered a miscarriage and were devastated, but the little girl we have now is the sweetest thing in the world. You know this, but God has a plan.

bummer dude

as mentioned, it happens a lot and doesn't get talked about much, and i think it makes people feel alone
i'm sure you are devastated and she is too.
in a weird way, i feel like you are the perfect person for this with your religion. (like not that i wish it upon you (nor anybody for that matter), but that you have that strong connection with god)
i hope that comes out how i feel it in my head as being a positive.
best of luck with the healing of you and your wife
