    About Me

    I recently miscarried. I was 9 weeks. I found out during my first ultrasound. Seeing my child with no heartbeat is the most Painful experience of my life. I have started therapy and lost my job as a preschool teacher. I just don't know what to expect with this type of grieving.

    Interests

    I like watching movies. I spend most of my time alone when my fiance is at work. I sleep to reduce stress. I enjoy getting tattoos. My hero is my 12 year old cat.
