Everyday it takes every ounce of strength I have to keep myself composed.  I feel like I have gotten very good at it.  But it's just a mask I wear and I find myself only grieving in private.  During the last week I have even been keeping my feelings from my husband.  I will start to tell him something and then I stop myself because I know he is glad that it appears I am moving on.  I feel like I count everything by weeks....I found out the baby stopped developing 3 weeks ago...I miscarried 2 weeks ago...I should be 14 weeks pregnant, but I am 0 weeks pregnant, less than that even it feels like.  I think about Christmas time when my baby should have been born or next summer when our baby would be six months old. I am having a weak moment.

    Its hard when u feel like everyone wants u to just be ok and move on. I know I did the same thing I grieved in private, whether it be in my car or at night in my bedroom when I was alone. Its only been 3 weeks though and maybe u should talk to your hubby and tell him that you are still sad and although he may not understand your feelings u still need some time to grieve. I had to actually spell it out for mine and after I talked to him he understood a little better. Things will get easier as time goes on. The pain is always in your heart but you move on and get hope in your heart again. I never thought I would recover but I am doing well.Just remeber its ok to have weak moments you will have them often in the coming weeks and months. If u need to talk I'm always available ((hugs)) Michelle

    It's totally fine to have those weak moments. Make sure you talk to DH though. You need to have someone to talk to and he needs to know how you're really feeling. Hang in there! Hopefully, by Christmas you'll be pg again, and you'll be able to look back at this time and how it made you stronger.

    Vent your feelings and let it out how you feel is best. Scream, cry, hit a pillow. Remember, I am here for you. You are a wonderful person and do deserve the best. Take care and big hugs.

    I'm so sorry. I know the feeling though. I miscarried at 12 weeks. It's now been a month and I find myself still counting the weeks as if I were still pregnant. I would have been 8 weeks away from my due date and the thought that I will never see that child breaks my heart. This was our 4th miscarriage. My husband has given up and doesnt want to try anymore because of what these losses do to me. So I keep all my feelings from him. I need him to believe I've moved on, so that he can too. Thats why I joined DS. There are so many of us here that are going through the same thing. I found the support and the strength I needed to start healing. I'm not going to lie to you, It's going to take a long time to recover from this. You'll have your good days and your bad days. I remember about 3 months after losing my baby, I was cleaning my house going on with my everyday life and the next thing I knew I was sitting in the middle of my kitchen floor completely in tears. It's tough, but you have friends here that can relate and support you in the good and the tough times ahead. I'm here if you need me. God Bless.
