The Verdict is In

As soon as J~ started feeling better, I started feeling worse -- emotionally, anyway. Nausea faded two days ago, cramps began, and I knew it. I knew it.

We went for an ultrasound yesterday, and sure enough: no heartbeat.

I won't be taking any drugs to help this along. And I won't be submitting to any surgical procedure.

It's just a matter of time.

This is so sad to hear. I am so sorry. You continue to be in my thoughts - I wish I had some sort of magical power to make life fair, so you didn't have to go through this. Peace to you...

After weeks of being in limbo-land, it was better to have the bad news (that I already knew in my heart) that the pregnancy was over. In a very weird, sad way, it brought me a sense of closure and allowed me to begin mourning.

I hope you can find the same sense of closure and can soon begin the long process of emotional healing.

I am so very sorry. All I can do is wish for this to be as painless as possible, given the situation. I'm so sorry.

Could it make you crack a small smile that my verification word is "umoopy"? Try saying it out loud.
