I apologize for the delay in posting your comment. As I explained on the other comment of yours that I just posted, this comment was diverted to my Akismet folder and I just discovered it. I see that you follow Jannie Funster’s blog. Jannie is wonderful!

This video really seemed to capture (in just a short clip) what so many women have told me over the years. In participating in monthly meetings of endometriosis support groups from 1992 – 2008, I met many women who had experienced such devastating losses. In the time since I started my blog, I have met many more women who have suffered through such pain and grief.

I think it really is important for society as a whole to support those who suffer these losses. Hopefully, by increasing awareness people will become more sensitive and supportive.

Thank you very much for your supportive words and prayers!

Best wishes to you in the new year.

I agree that Tori has a very effective way of explaining it, when she discusses her own losses, so that those who have been blessed not to have experienced such loss can get a glimpse of understanding about it. Awareness on this subject is so sorely needed. Yes, it absolutely is a loss… and a profound one at that.

Jeanne

Yes, I feel for Alicia too. I also really think things will work out for her. Did you see her latest post? They made the final five families for an adoption of a 3 year old. See her blog for details.

Thank you for “previewing” this video before I posted it here. I wanted to get feedback on it before posting it because I knew it would be quite emotional for some people to watch. I think it’s worth noting that one of the points she hits home in the video is that there is inadequate support for women who experience miscarriages and their partners… and that awareness is needed, which I know you’ve written quite a bit about). I found it a very powerful video as well.

Jeanne

I am so, so sorry you went through that. I remember when you wrote about your miscarriages: here.

Like you, I wish I could take away the pain of anyone who has to endure this.

A friend and I were talking yesterday. Her sister has been through many miscarriages and she was talking about how there are “no words” to adequately describe the pain. So, I don’t really think anyone has words that are adequate. I do, however, believe that awareness is absolutely vital to getting people the support they need to deal with such huge losses.

Peace and love to you too, Jannie… and (as you said) to all.

Jeanne

what thoughtful doing and informative video you have here,
you carry a kind heart for those who happen to be the unfortunate in child rearing, getting pregnant, and healthy pregnancy..

Big heart, Extraordinary Acts!

Pray for you and your troubled friends.
take care, happy 2010.

I wish I could take away the pain of anyone who has to endure this. I wish I could hug them, each and every one and say that things will be okay in the end. Some how. All sorrow will be gone forever some day.

My words are inadequate, sorry.

Peace and love to you all.
