This can be so tough. We have gone through several miscarriages as well (I think the furthest along was about 11-12 weeks), and I can't honestly say which is harder, when you aren't sure if you'll ever have children, or after you have had a couple children and know how delightful they are, and are longing for more. Either way it is never an easy thing to go through- especially for the mothers. If you ever want to talk to another mother who has been through this too, feel free to give Nikki a call. Fortunately for your daughters, I read once that children don't fully comprehend death until they are around 8 - 10 years old. And I remember we also struggled with the idea of when to let people know. Sometimes we didn't say anything until it was physically obvious. In the end, we decided to tell people early, because we felt a lot of power and strength from the prayers of others, even or especially after the miscarriages. You'll be in our prayers. Let us know what we can do for you. As the weather gets nicer, we'd love to have you all over to our place.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275021697719043523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517076459695753575.post-39682677246310905462013-03-29T22:09:24.229-06:002013-03-29T22:09:24.229-06:00Dates are hard... especially due dates without a b...Dates are hard... especially due dates without a baby. I hope that you did something nice for yourself that day. I remember my first due date came and went with my first pregnancy and I still was not pregnant (I miscarried at 12 weeks). But I can honestly say that when I had Tru I didn't feel anymore sadness for what could have been. I'm sure it's hard with kids. We didn't tell Tru about this current pregnancy until he noticed that my tummy was getting bigger. Mostly because I didn't want to break his little heart if things didn't work out. It's hard to know what to do in that situation. I hope that you and your family can continue to heal.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956705540282849369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517076459695753575.post-32915228138479425302013-03-19T06:37:16.207-06:002013-03-19T06:37:16.207-06:00My heart aches for you. What a hard day and hard e...My heart aches for you. What a hard day and hard experience for your family and girls. I was almost 4 when my dad died and 10 when my 4 month old sister died. I can still remember how matter of factly I felt about death as a child. Everyone dies and my daddy died. Sometimes I couldn't understand why it was such a big deal for everyone. It wasn't until my teens and even adulthood that I realized how heartbreaking it was for a man not yet 30 to die leaving a wife and 4 year old. But don't fear, I am grateful (hope that doesn't seem weird) to have always had a very matter of fact approach to life and death. Someday your girls will know that Peter left this world too soon. For now follow their lead they are doing all the right things.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433239047809919265noreply@blogger.com
