Life can be unfair
I am tired of so many people I love and care about struggling trying to get and stay pregnant. The news of someone having a m/c makes my heart break into a thousand pieces. I HATE IT! I hate IF! I hate that so many people near and dear to me have to live through the hell of any of this.
Re: Life can be unfair
It is unfair. It's so sad that there are good people who try so hard to have a healthy child and then crackheads and teenagers are getting knocked up or having abortions. And I know there's a reason for everything, but it's not always easy to understand why.
Sorry another person you know is dealing with this.
I agree with Annie and I'm sorry you know someone else going through this.
I don't know if this helps or makes it worse, but my brother and his wife (who is 3 years older than he) had to resort to IVF for their first child. They tried IVF again about 8 months ago and it failed-- and it was too expensive for them to try again. So my SIL cried and mourned and grieved and then tried to move on with the knowledge that she would only have one child. Then, about a month ago, her mother passed from MS-- on the very same day that she learned she was pregnant with a son (the old-fashioned way!) at age 41.
There is hope, always. I hope it works out for whomever it is you're grieving with, but if not-- I can only hope that they have the strength to get through it and find a way to still feel complete, whole, unbroken, and like a family.
It does suck. I have a friend (DH and I met her and her H on our honeymoon), who went through IVF, and she had triplets. She lost them at 20 weeks along, and it broke my heart. The day I got the text from her telling me, I cried and held my babies close. It gets me so upset when I see people are not appreciative of what they do have.
I am sorry that you have someone who is going through this.
