My miscarriage announcement

Erica • Sat, Feb 28 • Married, SHM, 1 child JWH after ttc 3+ yrs multiple mc, due with baby #2 any day

My Facebook post today. The hubby isn't very happy with me for doing this but I feel so much better now that it is out in the open.

Miscarriage is a horrible devastating thing to have to go through, and it is just lonely as it is painful. It doesn't make sense to me that this should have to be such a secret. Why is it that we can talk about so many other things so openly but yet parents that have lost a child are expected to suffer in silence.

Justin and I found out the week of Valentine's Day that we were going to be parents. We were beyond excited at the very thought of our little bean, and couldn't wait until Easter, when we had decided that we would share the news of our newest addition to the family. Then just one week later we were crushed to learn that we were having a miscarriage. This child that we had hoped for and dreamed was taken from us just as quickly as it was given.

I am sharing this with you not because I want your pitty, but because I feel that I need to share in order to grieve and to move forward. I have felt the weight of this dark secret as if it is pressing down on my chest. And I am ready to set it free. I know that there are so many other people that are going through just as much if not more in their lives right now. And again I am not asking for pitty, this is just something that I feel I need to share in order to move forward and continue on to the next step in our lives.

I would also like to thank our friends and family for their support during this time.
