Not sure if any of you read O Magazine. There is an article in this month's mag about infertility/loss from the husband's perspective. I thought it was very touching. It kinda hits close to home, not sure if everyone is at a place where they would want to read it. I can give you the link if you want it, or just google Mourning Has Broken by Ian Wallach. I just wanted to share this last paragraph with all of you:
In a parallel universe, I'm changing diapers and craving sleep, but in this one, the adoption process is under way, so somewhere there is, or is about to be, a child who will find his or her way to us, and we will all catch and protect each other. In due time, I'll rock back and forth, holding a swaddled child. In a whirlwind of joy, embarrassment, and hypocrisy, I may even shamelessly think that everything happens for a reason.

I'll take a read on this later today.
to you. I know how those days (weeks) are. I even had one woman tell me one time that she must have "special favor with God" cuz she has been blessed with so many children (5). 
Are you serious??? As if to say I somehow have not found special favor w/ God or am not a good mother. Cats, dogs and rabbits have many offspring too, but that doesn't mean they're special. 
) She stood there trying to get her boys to leave for the next 10 minutes or so. 
) I know I fainted because Kenny just happened to be home today and found me. When I fell, I knocked over our prized glass chess set and broke a few pieces. 
Sigh! And you're right...men just don't get it. It is like the death of a dream or the loss of part of yourself.
