It has been almost three years since my last loss. We found out we had lost Justin's twin on December 7, 2006.(To read more about this click here.) This loss came after over two years of fertility treatments and 6 early miscarriages. Justin was born May 3, 2007. The time between December 7th and May 3rd was really hard for me. I was so afraid that I would lose him too.
Even after three years have passed, I still have days that hit me really hard. They don't happen as often now, but still my heart aches for the babies I never got to meet. The losses closed a door for me, but at the same time opened the window to adoption.
I am still affected daily by the pain of loss. Today, most of the anguish I feel has a positive effect on my life. I am grateful for each and every day. Grateful for the good and bad. Because to feel the bad, I have to have once felt the good. I was definitley changed by infertility and loss. Changed for the better.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I know very well the hurt of infertility. My thoughts are with you today!
What a wonderful support for those who have lost their babies.
I had one miscarriage.... it was so sad (and never got pregnant again). Fast forward 17 years and we adopted! Amazing what happens in our lives when our hearts heal the pain and be open to the love of a child.
