I was 'lucky' in that respect at least.

I hope that hospitals and medical professionals are more sensitive now than they were then and understand that it is more than the physical loss. It also the loss of all the hopes and dreams that went with that baby as soon as you knew you were pregnant. It is true that I would not have my oldest son if the other pregnancy had been viable and I am so grateful and lucky to have him.....so yes I focus on that and the other blessings in my life. These experiences all shape you into the person you become. No one said was easy though!<br />Gilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-17917951516110604112013-05-19T14:42:31.826+03:002013-05-19T14:42:31.826+03:00How beautitul, and sad.

Not always easy for those suffering but easier than trying to figure out how you could have made it different.
