I’m so sorry. Much sympathy and shared sorrow going out to you from a distant land. Hug your wonderful girls!
I have known the pain your wife is feeling, and your beautiful poetry helps me to understand yours.
My tears are with you both.

You write beautifully.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry
What has happened once can happen again. The path has been laid down. The possibility remains.
It’s a LOT more common than you might think.
For us:
Married. Pregnant. 
Miscarriage.
Pregnant. Daughter.
Pregnant. Son.
Pregnant, second trimester, vasectomy. Miscarriage.
No opportunity to have third, but very, very thankful for what we have.
Gentle hugs and prayers to everyone.
I’m so sorry, TP.
Thanks everyoe for the kinds words. I spend a wonderful day today with my daughter while letting my wife rest at home. Beta-chan doesn’t understand anything of course, and was just happy to have her daddy all day.
We’ll be OK. We went out to dinner with some friends who are expecting their first child, and had a lot of fun.
I’ll figure out something about work. I’m watching the ruling party go down to defeat here in Japan, and I’m glad that my setbacks are private and not on the news.
I’m a lucky man and wouldn’t trade my place with anyone. I could never give up this daughter who adores her father.
Sorry to hear that TP, and glad to hear you are taking it in stride.
I am so very sorry to hear this news on both counts.
You are such a beautiful writer, the good and the bad, reading your posts is an honor, Tokyo Player.
My thoughts to you and your family.
Oh no! I’m really sorry to hear what has happened to you and your family. My best wishes to you and your lovely wife.
It’s raining this morning in Tokyo, an appropriate weather.
My wife and I talked again last night and started to look at expenses and income. I’ve always spent less than I’ve earned, and been concervative with my purchases, so we won’t be in immediate trouble.
When we signed on the house, we did it anticipating that the good times wouldn’t last forever, which makes us look smart now. A more expensive home would have bought us some more space (always a premium in Tokyo) but would have made the payments higher.
We’ll survive. And we’ve got a story to tell. “So did I ever tell you about the day we lost both . . .”
My condolences.
Hang in there hon HUGS
I’m so sorry.
I forgot about the job loss - sorry about that, too. That was one sucky day for you guys. Here’s to better days to come!
My heart goes out to you. I’ve lost both pregnancies and jobs… and neither is easy to deal with. You are in my thoughts.
