The worst week of my life.

[Minty317]

Oh, Josie. Your news put tears in my eyes. I can't imagine what you are going through. You and your husband need to lean on each other right now, cry, and let out the pain. They need to be expressed. I just had a friend who also lost her baby a couple weeks ago, and I've been listening to what she is going through as well. My heart goes out to you guys. Your turn to be a mom will come! Keep in mind that there are still good things coming for you *hugs*

aaaawww.. you poor thing. I'm so sorry to hear that. You are such a sweet person, just hang in there hun. *hugs* you know you can always turn to us and your ponies to help bring a little happy back into your life. So sorry. *hugs*

Thank you all so much for your kind and supportive words. It's so nice to have so many people who care. It's more wonderful when you stop and think, and realize that I haven't met a one of you in person...but I can feel your hugs all the same. You are all so wonderful.

I have been talking with my husband, and we are very good with each other. Luckily, we will be one of those couples who come out stronger. I just know he was very excited for the baby. That's why I feel like I failed him. We do plan to try again...perhaps after the holidays. I just feel very lost, as nothing is the way it was suppose to be. My sisters got together and had an ornament made for our tree. It's of an angel and it is engraved: Baby Stickel...our little Twig. Twig is what we had been calling them until we found out what the gender was. It was very sweet. I just keep trying to remember that now our little Twig will be a guardian angel for any others that come after them.

It's tough, but I'm trying. I'm back to work. A step towards feeling normal again. Hopefully, I can catch the holiday bug again before Christmas. It would be nice to feel like celebrating.

that is so good to hear, josie... coming out stronger is a silver lining to this horrible cloud over your head.
and it's so sweet you do have a little angel now... no matter what happens after this, little Twig will look over everything just like you said.
And at the very least, you found out this news during the Christmas season. You can stay sad if it makes you feel better, or if the holiday bug catches you- you can celebrate and enjoy it.
If you got this news in the summer or something, there wouldn't be anything to celebrate or enjoy.

I hope that doesn't sound insensitive or anything...

Josie, I have already been in contact with you on FB, you know I am here for you and how deepily sadden I am to hear of your and Jim's loss. It's not your fault that this happen. This can really shake you up. I am glad you were able to have a few days to hide away and mourn. It wont be the end of that but it does help with the healing process. And again, you will be a mom one day and you will be terrific at it! I love you Josie! ~Big Hugs~ Hang in there!

That was a beautiful notion your sisters made! You have the right attitude. "Twig" will always be your baby & will always be a part of your life.
