Today as I looked at the items I bought for our new babies, tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered our little twins that were destined to pass from this world to the next before they were even born.
One had dissolved into my system, the other I lost. What an abrupt end to such dearly wanted children.
They would be three years old if they were destined to live. However, for reasons unknown they passed away during the early stages of their development. I have no little mementos of those darlings, only a gap in my heart that will remain for a very long time.
In heaven there awaits another little one whose little heart stopped beating whist in my womb. That was my first miscarriage and was one of the most traumatic experiences I’d ever been through.
It is estimated that miscarriage terminates 20% of all pregnancies. More than 80 percent of miscarriages occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Have you lost a little one through miscarriage? If so, I understand your grief. It is important you find a support group.
Since with miscarriage there isn’t any grave to visit, and no photos to treasure, you might wish to leave a dedication at http://www.pregnancyloss.info/memory_garden.htm
