The email sever has been devouring stuff lately, so I just wanted to let you know, in case you did try to send something. If you didn’t, that’s okay too. It’s such a strange ride we’re on – I can’t count how many letters I’ve started to my aunt and grandmother, and have decided not to send. What do you say, you know?

What a cool brother you have–and maybe kinda nerdy using a USB cord to provoke the cat, ha!

Feel better soon, Michele. It’s really sucky that you have to go through this. A friend of mine went through the exact same thing last summer–she was pregnant all summer long and had just hit the 12-week mark and started to tell people when she miscarried. Like you, she also had another young child. At the time she said she hadn’t been all that attached to the pregnancy but since then (it’s been a year), it’s seemed to come out in other small ways. It’s probably good that you are really wading into your feelings now. It sucks but will hopefully speed up the healing process.

Lots of luck and good wishes.

Also, you’ll feel better when you feel better. There’s no timer on grief, and nothing that says you can’t cry everyday until you’re good and done crying.

And you WILL eventually be done crying.

Enjoy your week away. :-)

You better watch it. This is the very reason that all of my sheets have holes in them. :-)

Ugh. I am going to EMAIL you. I am so out of it. Forgive.

It’s been almost a month since my miscarriage, and I’m dealing with the same thing, although less often than before. This is a two steps forward, one step back kind of process, I think.

Cute cats really do seem to help, though.

Ha! We have a similar ritual called “helping to make the bed” in which the cats do their best to prevent the sheets from making it into place. It’s pretty much the best reason to change the sheets that we have found.
