Sakerra

PostPosted: Sun Jan 14, 2007 2:15 pm


Hi, I'm not sure how many of you read my intro, but my name is Sakerra, I am fifteen and I was about seven-eight weeks pregnant. That's right, was. I misscarried earlier today and I feel, well pardon the language but I feel like s**t. I've been crying almost all day and even though I never met this child I feel a great sense of loss and I'm not sure what to do to resolve it. Any advice?

Unfortunately miscarriage happens. We're not completely sure why it happens but it does. It's understandable you feel a loss because you were carrying a new life. I've never had a miscarriage as Kyra was my first pregnancy, but I saw how devastated my sister was when she did.
You need to see that, although this tragedy happens, things happen for a reason. That's life itself. You may have lost this one child, but in a few years time you may still be able to have the baby you want. My sister had already had a child before she had her miscarriage, but she went on to have four more beautiful children. She has two sons and three daughters, and although I'm sure at times she thinks back to her miscarriage, she is very happy with the family she now has. Keep your head up, life gives us trials that we must face and overcome, but there will be it's rewards in the end.

I am sorry to hear that you lost your unborn child, my heart goes out to you. But give it time and when you feel ready to, try again. My sister's life is filled with joy despite her loss, yours can be too.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope everything works out for you. I know you'll always have a special place in your heart for this baby but I hope you'll be happy with other children one day.

Miscarriage sucks, simply put. In march of last year, I miscarried, and it was the worst feeling in the world. It makes you feel so inadiquit as a female, becuase all around you are others who have been successful. For me, the worst part was when people told me that I could have another, amlost like this one didn't matter. To cope, I write letters to my baby. I may never have gotten to hold her, or kiss her or watch her grow up, but I know things happen for a reason. In my letters I talk about what it would have been like had she been born, I tell her how much I love her, and how much I miss her, even though we've never met. It's my way of coping, and my way of honouring a child of mine, that I never got to hold. There are lots of ways to cope, but don't forget to let yourself grieve, because that is the most important step of all. This was your baby, and you have a right to grieve for it. It's ok to cry, to scream, to just feel terrible. You know best how to handle your loss. Don't let others tell you how to feel, only you know. It doesn't matter that you've never met your child, your loss is still hurtful. It won't go away, you can't ignore this. Just give yourself the time to heal, and eventually you will be able to cope. The pain and hurt however, never go away.

My mother lost a baby to SIDS when I was two. Her name was Courtney Laneye Harvey and she was only a month old. We light a candle for her every year on her birthday.

I know what it's like to mourn over a child. I've had 3 miscarriages and I mourn every ONE of those children. But yet I feel safe knowing they're here. As I see it they are angels and God loved them so much that he wanted them to be with him at that moment. And they watch over me and my family.
