I had a miscarriage back in June and the grieving process was long and difficult. Once I reached my due date, I was able to accept everything that had happened in the last 9 months and properly grieved my loss. That's also when we started trying to conceive and hoping this will be a sticky baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-662412 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 04:28:31 +0000 Cherrybee 662412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very well said - and very brave of her to say it. Thanks for sharing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-662315 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 22:42:11 +0000 Mrs.Someone 662315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So brave to put it out there! I haven't told many people about mine, but it really helped that a close friend shared before I went through it so I knew just who to go to for support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-662310 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 22:32:11 +0000 mrskc 662310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So nicely put. So brave to post that. I was too scared to say anything about my miscarriage, I kind of wish I did tho to bring more awareness to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-662288 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 22:04:08 +0000 JamieLee 662288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So brave. It is really a shame that it is so hush hush. I passed my due date in heartbreaking silence last summer. I wish for a day when women and men can openly grieve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-662271 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:53:04 +0000 tequiero21 662271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*hugs* to your friend. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-662199 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:02:56 +0000 pastemoo 662199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very brave.

Thanks for sharing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-662148 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:23:09 +0000 delight 662148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for this. Mine is also approaching....April 29. I'm happy to say I have a new due date of August 14, but I will definitely be thinking about my first little bean in April and saying a prayer for the baby I will never meet. It is amazing how under wraps miscarriage is kept. I was amazed when I started opening up to friends and family to hear of so many other women who have gone through the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-662137 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:11:49 +0000 IcebergMom 662137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katiew92081: I agree.

I had two losses here, and I felt as if I couldn't share it with anyone since no one understood. Very brave of her to go out there, and I'd definitely post if I were her friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-660856 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 09:59:47 +0000 Meridian 660856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's beautiful...

I was hesitant to have to announce my loss, but once I did, the outpouring of support was amazing. Also, a lot of women I've known my whole life have come to me to share surprisingly similar stories. It was really nice to know I wasn't alone in our grief.</p> <p>I hope your friend found a lot of support through her post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-660394 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 06:19:41 +0000 autumnlove 660394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very brave.

I thought about posting something on my due date, but I deactivated Facebook a couple months ago because it was just making me too depressed.</p> <p>That is really brave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-660389 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 06:13:36 +0000 Ash 660389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! It's so sad how hush hush it is.

Thank you for posting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/today-is-my-friends-due-date#post-660294 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 02:05:23 +0000 mediagirl 660294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She posted this on Facebook and I asked if it would be okay to share it with you all. I wanted to post it in case it helps someone and to share what bravery looks like. </p> <p>----------------------</p> <p>Today is my due date. And before you look at me crazy (from through the computer screen) and think WOW, I must not have seen you FOREVER or WOW, I saw you just the other day, you are looking NOT at all pregnant. Like so many, many other women, I joined the rank of a statistic. I miscarried before 12 weeks.</p> <p>No, I am not posting this status for your sadness or kind supporting words, although, I also won't turn them away. No, I am posting this because through the healing process, I encountered so many families, both women and men, who are still grieving the loss of a miscarriage, still birth, or other loss of a baby that they will never hold in their arms. While some people grieve quietly, others don't. And in a society that still keeps miscarriage hush hush, they have had little support, few people to talk to, and a whole lot of shame.</p> <p>So instead of bringing home a baby today, I went to work and just had a typical day. I hope that on this day, where there is no baby for me, that maybe because I have had a voice around my miscarriage, that others will be able to find their voice and grieve openly. Or if they can't or choose not to, they at least know someone who has been there, and will listen and cry with them. And now I am bravely pushing post before I chicken out. </p>
