What a moving story about the dolphin. Things like that do make you remember your own loss. No matter when a child is lost, they leave an impact that is always felt. Sending you a hug.

Susan,
I linked back here after you left a comment on my blog, and mentioned that you are new to writing. You may be, but you have a knack for it! This was a great job of weaving two stories together to express your feelings and experience. Very good job.

I had a miscarriage in 2001. I truly feel I have moved on (helped by the fact that I was pregnant with another baby by the miscarriage due date)But no matter how ok I am about things occasionally I read a story like the dolphin one and I well up and cry. For the hurt that another being is going through that I now can relate to in a way I never thought possible before my own experience.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you for sharing this. I haven't ever experienced a miscarriage, but due to some womanly problems, I am at risk for them.

Susan, this was just so lovely. So sad, but so well-said. And what Nate said got me all choked up too. Thank you for sharing this,
both of you.

That was definitely not how I envisioned that pregnancy to go. I was totally unprepared and I did not have much to say. I try not to bring it up and I try to be empathetic when you do. I feel useless in my support, there by your side, but not. It is NOT your fault. Let's try and find our next steps in our Tango and honor the the last. Your belief in god should provide a great helping hand and of course talking about it to those that care...and we all care!

My own miscarriage was so early on (about seven weeks), it hardly seems to compare to your experience. I've often said I didn't lose a child, but that I lost the hope of one. And yet because of that experience I can read of yours and those of other women and in some small part comprehend the grief and sorrow of it all. At first, I couldn't understand the purpose of that experience. It seemed to me that it was pain for pain's sake alone. Now though, I see it as a gift. It taught me a greater form of empathy than I ever could have achieved alone. Tears welled in my eyes as I read of that mother dolphin's experience. I cared because of what I had suffered, if that makes sense.

This was such a beautiful post, Susan. Thank you for sharing it with us.
