I was told not to consider the first one a miscarriage since it was confirmed, but I knew with great certainty. The spirit knows, I think, and that's what makes the loss so keen. it is a great comfort knowing that my Gregory and Anastasios are interceding for us. I will pray for your friends as they grieve.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455430951079596377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602038461808265711.post-24669006680240503812010-12-08T16:26:54.788-06:002010-12-08T16:26:54.788-06:00I know them too (actually more the father of Nicho...I know them too (actually more the father of Nicholas to be specific).

I can imagine it just gets harder. I'm sorry you've had to endure so many.<br /><br />It took me a while to write about my first. A year later, it was very helpful to commemorate his birthday with a post, however. <br /><br />Arielle, yes, I will join you in praying for that.Kh.

I have a post "saved" waiting to be posted (finished) for a few weeks...touching on this topic. It is such a hard topic to talk about, write about, and comprehend. I have just suffered the loss of my 4th baby - and it just gets harder every time. <br /><br />I love your words......."taken before the temptations of this world" they brought me peace when I read them ! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing.....and I am so sorry for your dear friends loss.

That might be close to your empty feeling. Normally, there's always some little possibility that I might be carrying a baby. (Except of course, after giving birth, and at that point, I'm carrying a baby in my arms and not thinking about much else!) It was very strange to be THAT empty for those few weeks.Kh.

And, yes, Nicholas is the perfect name for this child.
