These things are part of our lives, and even tho they <i>are</i> sad when they happen, we cannot allow that sadness to consume us. I'm not sure if we'll try again. It was after all an accident, but I don't want to make any decisions about that right now. It's not the right time for that. Thanks so much for your kind words, xoxo, nina D’arcy,

Funny how a tremendous happiness that is not usually felt can lead to finding the little things that one usually appreciates seem meaningless or incomplete. But I know you will be happy once again for as you said you are lucky to have felt that period of joy; and you are lucky to, perhaps, be able feel something similar to it again. I hope you feel better soon and that your sadness transitions into a peaceful melancholy. This news and your obvious sadness caused by it made me cry.

These experiences are traumatic in so many different ways, and even tho I know that it's almost natural for these things to happen, I'm not sure how, if ever, we're supposed to get over them. Aside from the physical pain of miscarriage and then such an invasive procedure such as a d&c, the emotional pain is a thousand times worse. Maybe with time I'll learn to live with it. Thank you sweetie for being there and for sharing that with me. xoxo, nina Ana,

I remember the time I wasn't ready to have a second child, for financial, relationship, plenty reasons, but it happened, and it occured at the most unpredictable moment, as I was standing in a shop and the only thing I could do was press my legs together, relieved I was wearing jeans, but even so it was unlike any other gyno experience I had. The pain is like a period cramp multiplied by a 100, and then some. Anyway, it's good you're back to it.

It's not an easy thing to go thru, and you're right, we all try to be strong but something like this serves to remind us of just how powerless we really are. I have a lot to be grateful for tho, and I've tried to remain centered. Writing about it makes it 'more real' for me if that makes sense. It's a way to remember it and then allow it to pass. If anything, it helps me heal. Thanks so much hon, xoxo, nina Kim,

It's a hard thing to contend with, no matter how strong we like to be. A good time to reflect on what happiness can mean, certainly. And how wise you are to write about this for yourself and for others. Hugs... Kim Oh Nina, I feel for you and your family. It’s a hard thing to contend with, no matter how strong we like to be.
