I was 7 weeks along. At that point the medical staff here labels the fetus as medical waste. I could not stand for that and would not allow them to do so. (I'm sorry if that was too much information.)

We contacted our Deacon and asked if he could meet us at our Church and bless our baby and pray with us.

Tonight we stood before Mary, lit a candle and prayed.

He (our Deacon) gave a lovely Remembrance of Commendation.

We did not share our news of joy nor sorrow with anyone other than our parents. I felt safe behind my computer sharing my news of joy and I can not put into words my gratitude for all your warm thoughtful comments. Your comments helped me so very very much.

To @North of Mouse @ruthies12 @FortWildernessCamper @iheartpeterpan @Jimsig and anyone else that has suffered a miscarriage...

"May the angels and saints lead this child to the place of light and peace where one day we will be brought together again."

Warmly,

Melissa

I was so sorry to hear of your loss as it is a pain that I, too, have experienced. Thank you for sharing the good news and joy with us and for now sharing that beautiful prayer. Ali

Melissa,

Wow. I'm sorry you had medical professionals that were so insensitive. Kind of gives the rest of us a bad name. To people that work in these situations everyday, it may be just "medical waste", but to the families it was hopes, dreams, prayers answered and so much more. I worked in the ED for a few years and took care of a number of women experiencing the same thing. It didn't matter if it was 6 weeks or 36, we had a support process in place to help the families understand and begin to comprehend the impact. And I don't remember any patient that was not emotionally impacted. My role was to determine what you needed medically AND emotionally. I hope I was never that inconsiderate.

I'm glad your pastor was able to help support you through this. I hate the words "closure", "resolution" or "moving on." They are never the right. The most consistent factor I've found to help cope is time. And unfortunately it's one of the few things we can't control.

So sorry to hear of this loss your family is enduring. The sweet soul you created will meet you again when the time comes. I have no doubt in that.

Melissa, So Very Sorry for your loss. I am a few days late, but very sincere.
My dear, it is so comforting to know that you were able to have the support of your church.
My prayers and warm regards are for you and your family at this time.

I'm so sorry to read this. We have lost 3 babies ourselves, it's a pain I wish no one ever had to experience. I don't know if it's something you want to talk about, but there are many community boards outside of here that deal with this kind of loss. I found that to be very therapeutic while I was grieving.

You're in my prayers xoxo
