    It is not an easy thing to deal with and accept, but you must know that in His infinite wisdom there is a greater reason when things like these happen. Believing in God is easy, trusting him is much more difficult at times. This is one time when it is very important to trust him. My wife and I have had this experience as well. Share how you feel with your wife and be there for her.

    Well, we had a rough weekend, on me mostly, bleeding I guess is normal in a miscarriage, but it's damned unsettling. Went to the ER last night for a 5 hour trip, back to the hospital today for them to take care of what's left of our kid. She handled it great, procedure went fine, and she had enough energy to go to oversee Volleyball practice. Girl's hardcore, but I think we're out of the woods.

    Thanks for the kind words, fellas, means a lot.
     
  3. My wife and I lost our only very early on but still a kick in the gut just the same .Take care of yourself and family that is your strength. Our hearts are with you. Rob
     
  4. Take care of that High School Sweetheart, and those sons. It's a great honour being a part of this "Family" we call the "HAMB",even after not being here much lately, you knew where to come for some needed support. That's an honour we all should cherish, after all it's not just about hot rods, it's about good people like yourself and many others here. You know where to find us, if we can help in any way in the future too.
    Take Care, 29Bowtie.

    Itsa tough hand to be dealt for sure...that said, ALOT of us here have been through it, if you need something, ask, hell we even gotta couple of M.D.s here.... (caint remember who tho that I asked a few questions at the butt crack of dawn when we were going through late stage #2).

    Be patient with your sweetheart, I know mine was fine one miniute and a mess the next...your right, it's easier on us, and dont forget that and accidently tromp on her feelings...

    Good luck, and time will take the edge off....

    I've watched my youngest daughter and her husband go through this twice in the last 2 years, so I can understand what you're going through and you certainly have my sympathies. After 2 miscarriages at 12 weeks, my daughter is now approaching 20 weeks with a strong, healthy baby inside her. We'll even know if it's a boy or a girl on Friday.

    They were devastated, especially after the second one, but they decided to just relax and get on with life, and if a pregnancy happened, then it happened, and that's exactly what did happen.

    Good luck, Glen.

    That's got to be one of the roughest blows to be dealt with. As everyone has said, just take it day by day and if it was meant to be it will happen. I'm very happy for you finding your old highschool sweetheart and when the time is right you'll be a dad. Actually you are one right now with the twin boys, be there for them and the wife. I'll be praying for you.

    Remember for whatever reason God decided to not let this one work out,that child is safe with him, and someday you will be reunited. i'm looking for a song I heard about this on the christian country station. My stepdaughter is working on kid number five right now, who has nearly been lost at least a half a dozen times, and she had several miscarriages before this one. I somehow feel the presence of the one she lost here hanging around,maby God made him an angel or something. I wouldn't worry sbout the time it takes to do your art, i read the entire article on your link, and you are a great artist. If I could afford something like that it wouldn't matter how long it took, i did some aluminum sand casting when I was younger back in school, and I have to say I enjoyed it,they don't sandcast up there anymore,liability issues. I hope someday you can combine your teaching with your art and teach people how to do this. It's becoming a lost art form. When things are looking better and you are back on your feet, how about taking the article on your link, and putting ip up in a Hamb post with full size pictures? Really good stuff and I know people here will enjoy it. :)

    Many years ago my wife miscarried at home, in the bathroom if you know what i mean. It was tough for a while, we got through it, but I can never forget. I often wonder what my son would have been like, he'd be about 21 now. My daughter is expecting in November, it's kinda hard to hold your breath for nine months. Things will get brighter soon, but you don't have to worry about ever forgeting. Good luck

    even though that child didn't make it to full term, that child still existed and still does exist with god, name your child and when people ask you can tell them he or she was lost before birth but is waiting for you with the Lord. Some people call them embroys or "cells" when God put them together it's life, we understand all the mechanical stuff but the truth is we can't create actual life, and all our explanations can't explain how God lights the spark. Be assured your child is safe. here's a few of my pictures if you feel like doing a memorial to your child gone home,feel free to use them with my blessing. the pictures are huge, i uploaded them as large as i could for resolution, click on any of them for full size. http://s220.photobucket.com/albums/dd158/lostforawhile/sunsets/

    I'm terribly sorry and I offer my condolences to you and your wife in this trying time. Though I'm sure it may be difficult, try to focus on the positive; you still have your wife who loves you, and what a hero I'm sure you are to the twins.

    Best of luck to you
