| Posted by Glenn Currier on 07/28/09 at 02:00 AM I have heard people mention it, but never emotionally felt as I do now from your poem. The sadness is palpable. Thanks for summoning the courage to write about this and to share it. Blessings and peace. |
| Posted by Michael Smith on 07/29/09 at 03:06 PM Thank you for sharing this, Kristin. It is all too common and not as publicly recognized as it should be. I'm so sorry for your loss. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 04/03/10 at 07:34 PM I've had a lot of miscariages. They hurt. My daughter just had one. We cried together. My words to her was "It's just G-d's way of saying 'oops'. There will be other children. You did nothing wrong. It was just not meant to be."
Thank you for sharing this deeply emotional write. |

| Posted by Anne Engelen on 04/11/10 at 08:36 AM Words of comfort don't seem to exist for situations like this. As many things a miscarriage is a life altering thing, something one needs to learn to accept, yet never will forget. |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 04/13/10 at 03:54 AM I have never been as struck silent by reading a poem as I have this one, Kristine. My heart goes out to you. My words are too numb and puny to add anymore. |
| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 04/15/10 at 11:58 AM No one has ever explained to me so effectively what this experience must feel like. This is a very moving poem. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 04/15/10 at 04:38 PM Congrats on POTD! I've already commented on it. A VERY touching and emotional write. |

| Posted by Shonda Chrissonberry on 04/16/10 at 03:40 AM And that is exactly how it feels....inside and out...emotionally and physically. *hugs* |
| Posted by Mo Couts on 06/04/11 at 02:16 AM Ouch. Pain is rarely this gorgeously expressed. I'm glad that you shared this with us. |
| Posted by Angela Stevens on 06/12/11 at 12:20 AM I had to read this to my best friend out loud because she has been through this and she says thank you; understanding, vision, everything. I thank you too, x. |
