Tracy, my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your child. There must be an agonizing emptiness inside you right now. I know that there are no words here that will ease that pain, but perhaps it will bring you some comfort to imagine that she is being looked after by Wally now. If she can’t be with her parents here on earth, I can’t think of a better person to take care of her than him. I am certain that he will watch over her well. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Love, Shayna ---

Tracy, Melin asked me to pass along her sympathy (as well as my own, of course!). She also lost a pregnancy between Eldest Son and Middle Son; it was a difficult time. Please know that our thoughts and prayers and love are with you. Melin says if you want to talk, her email addy is [lindy1026@aol.com](mailto:lindy1026@aol.com), and she’s always happy to take an IM, too. God bless. ---

Tatertot, I am so sorry. I have had three miscarriages myself, and reading your thread was like reliving that last week of my last pregnancy…the emotional roller coaster, the hope alternating with fear…I was so praying it would end differently for you, and I grieve that it didn’t. If you need a shoulder that has been there, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me. ---
