Like I can see through the screen or something...but also because I realized my middle of the night insomniac comment, probably didn't sound very uplifting - I did go on to have healthy, happy babies who grew up, one of whom has her own now...So many other women who are close to me have gone through similar experiences - though it's not something that everyone talks about openly - but maybe we should, so we give one another hope. You are amazing and wonderful to share about this experience - perhaps there are others out there reading who won't feel so alone now.<BR/>The right time will come...for now, try to rest, relax, read, write - do whatever rejuvenates your body and soul - that is the best way to get prepared for the right time to come - and that time will come, Laini...<BR/>May all be well and all be well, and may all manner of things be well - that is one of my favorite quotes - it's almost like a mantra or a little prayer, and it's seen me through a lot of dark times - I hope it gives you some comfort... <BR/>Many ((HUGS)) to you and Jim - and Alexandra - hugs to you all.<BR/>Now someone else needs to comment, because it's not an even number anymore :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-26888466341613878812008-03-14T12:51:00.000-07:002008-03-14T12:51:00.000-07:00YES, you are amazing too Fattyfat and you and Jim ...YES, you are amazing too Fattyfat and you and Jim are going to be amazing, psychadelic, over the top parents to the biggest, most joyous baby that has ever existed ever. It seems very possible to me that baby spirits are fighting this very moment to have you two incredible people as parents. As sad as i have felt for you two this week, I feel so sad for this baby because you two are just crazy loving, thoughtful souls, the best of the best. <BR/>(This now makes an even '20' comments.)Alex Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109059018269508607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-58414331122582612692008-03-14T08:04:00.000-07:002008-03-14T08:04:00.000-07:00Oh, Laini.

Nothing can ever take away the pain and loss and emptiness, as you said, of losing a child, but what a blessing that the physical part was helped along by big-brained scientists who thought about what was needed. <BR/><BR/>I agree with what everyone here has said: How generous it is of you to share your life with us, especially during such a hard time. But I hope you do understand the tremendous love you're getting in return. We're all thinking of you and Jim, and want nothing but happiness in your future!Robin Brandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971393580756079934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-10397117164518818222008-03-13T05:54:00.000-07:002008-03-13T05:54:00.000-07:00Laini -- You've held a mirror up to us with your w...Laini -- You've held a mirror up to us with your writing; now you've done it with your life. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>I've never understood why there is pain in life and the only comfort I can offer is this: you are not alone.<BR/><BR/>Whenever I've passed through that pain it has seemed like a betrayal that birds still sing, stars shine, wind blows, the world keeps going as if nothing happened. But then other times I see it not as a betrayal after all, but defiance or determination, a shout of normalcy in the wake of tragedy.S R Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934872671798326776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-62966116877952324622008-03-13T05:12:00.000-07:002008-03-13T05:12:00.000-07:00Thinking about you.

A loss of life in this way a lot of people do not want to listen and I have felt quite alone. I do agree that a loss at different weeks IS very different. If mine came a week later I would have had to sign a death certificate. How can a week make so much difference.<BR/><BR/>I really hope you have your hearts desire.
