Life
I refuse to minimize the miracle of life at its earliest stages. I felt it drawing on me. I felt when it left me. I cannot deny it. Tesslee's experience made me very aware, maybe uncommonly aware of the life growing inside me. I am offended when people try to minimize our loss by expressing, "6 weeks... Well, most people don't even know they are pregnant at that stage." Is that even relevant? I did. We did. We live in a culture that downplays God's intricate handiwork. And I will not. I loved it, I saw it, I held it, it was our baby and I cry over it. I am forever changed.

Sorry I keep posting comments, but we seem to have some things in common. I lost my baby girl this year at 22-ish weeks, and lost an earlier pregnancy at 6 weeks. There's no time frame for missing out on hopes and dreams. 6 weeks, or 60 years, it's God's creation, and any pregnancy loss is just that, a LOSS. Sorry that you have heard this hurtful thing. My cousin, also a angel mommy, started a facebook group if you're interested- LDS Angel Mommies Grief and Hope Support Group. http://www.facebook.com/groups/522927681053474/ Maybe it will help in the support area!
