I guess I should probably take some time, with my first post, to introduce myself. My name is Caroline. I am a daughter, sister, aunt and wife and I have had miscarriages. It took me forever to say those last four words out loud. It was almost as if somehow by not saying them, there was a part of me that didn't have to accept it was reality.
I am blessed to have a wonderful husband who I love with all of my heart. Both of us thought our journey to parenthood would be like most. We would get married, adjust to married life, have a family and live happily ever after. We married a little later than some of our other friends, but were both healthy, still in our prime and didn't have any reason to believe that things wouldn't turn out like we had hoped, planned and dreamed. Sometimes naivete is bliss, sometimes it is merciful, sometimes it is deceitful.
One of my main purposes in writing this blog is to remove some of the social
stigma from this subject and provide insight and perspective into what
it is like to have a miscarriage (or in my case multiple miscarriages),
and to discuss how to help those who have endured this experience. My
hope is that by sharing my walk, it will help others who are on this
same journey.
Welcome to the Blog!
Hugs!!

Caroline, I saw your post on Facebook and I had to comment! First off, I'm so sorry for your losses. But secondly, I want to congratulate you on your bravery for sharing this blog and your journey. When I had my first miscarriage, I couldn't believe how little support and knowledge there was out there. People came to me privately, sharing their stories. When I had my second one, I was determined to talk openly about it, in hopes of not only getting the support I needed, but to inform others about what a miscarriage really is. Good luck! I am so proud of your courage!
ReplyDeleteLove you Caroline! I found writing my blog through our experiences with Aaron helped me cope and vent through some of the most difficult days. Now I have that record of his sweet little life. Although sometimes its hard to go back and read our journey, I know that we got through it and overcame so many challenges. Its bittersweet but I love having it to go back to. I hope you find the same with this blog and know that you remain in our hearts and prayers. Much Love!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet and wonderful. Thank you for sharing your struggles that hurt deeply. I feel guilty commenting since we have two beautiful girls now; however, getting them here wasn't easy (two surgeries and working with fertility specialists). I do hope you have a wonderful OB now. I will be forever grateful for our OB and the specialist. My heart and prayers goes out to you and Dave.
