As sad as this is for you two, It does my heart good to know that you are grieving TOGETHER…this doesn’t just hurt the mommy, it hurts daddy too. Hopefully all of the love and prayers and good thoughts from so many will help ease the pain. Good luck and dont let ANYONE tell you when to get over this…healing works at different paces for people, take all the time you need. Jeanette ---

**Geobabe and UncleBill,** I am so sorry. I have no idea how hard this must be for you two. Just try and stay strong, and keep looking up. Best of luck to both of you in the future. ---

Stoopit hamsters. Now I have to reconstruct from memory what I wrote, or something close to it. Update: I was feeling fine physically this morning, enough that I felt I could go to work. Unfortunately, my job has me on my feet all day, and after several hours I started feeling woozy and called Bill to come get me. So it appears I’m not quite healed and need to take it easy for a while yet. My bosses have been very understanding through this whole thing, which is great. Emotionally, as might be expected, it’s been rough. Lots of moments of unbearable sadness. I know this is what grieving is, and that I just have to go through it. Thank you so much to those who sent wishes either in this thread or via email. Bill and I both appreciate it so much. ---

You have my condolences… All you can do is try again. I think you would be a wonderful mother. ---

I am very very sorry to hear the news… I am sure the two of you will help each other through the hard times. I pretty much know you both have gone through some hard times separately, as well… so… I hope you have developed the strength to bury the grief in your hearts, and go on living the life that you have to live, the best way possible!! My feelings are with you!! ---

My condolences as well. I watched my mother go through this twice after I was born and I know the pain she went through. I’m so sorry for your loss. Take care of each other. ---

I am so terribly sorry to hear about this. As **iampunha** said, the baby before him died, almost 24 years ago. If you want some ideas on coping and recovery, please feel free to e-mail me. ---
