    I had gotten pamphlets like that during my first pregnancy as it was all fresh and new, but do think I got rid of them to be honest. But still the significance of this find for you doesn’t go over my head and hoping you are doing Ok today. Hugs, thinking of you and if you need to talk, I am a message away.

      Janine, you are the sweetest! Thank you. Yes, it hurt to find those. I admit, I shed a few tears. It was just so unexpected. But I am okay now. Thank you for being here for me… as always!

    I know I might be late but this is my first time here. I’m so sorry about your loss. We loss our last pregnancy at 14 weeks, but we didn’t realize it until we were in the 20th week. It was difficult and unexpected to say the least. At the time, I knew a lady who shared a similar story to yours. I could only imagine. So glad you are brave enough to share your journey and provide help to other moms and families experiencing loss and grief. I hope you’re having a great day!

    I am so glad to find you after you commented on my blog. Oh, how my heart aches for you. I would like to be of some comfort, but for now I will offer only my prayers and friendship.

    I know it is not the same, but I suffered 2 miscarriages and that ache will never go away. I still count them as my children. Fortunately we became blessed after a 3 try, and are the proud parents of a healthy son – who is now 21 years old!

    I am listening…

    Awwwww…so sorry hon! I know how terrible those reminders can be. It’s been over 10 years and three kids since my two miscarriages, but every once in a while I get teary. He or she would have been 11 this year.
