I went to therapy last night and talked about everything going on the last couple months. Grandpa dying, surgery trauma, & our MC. He said I'm going to live & that I don't need to come back. As weird as it sounds it was good to hear.

The most important thing I came out of there with was comfort and understanding about my MC. First thing he said after I told him, what did you name it? I was taken back by that for a min and then felt a little guilty that we didn't name it. I guess because it was an early MC (5 weeks) I was viewing it through the eyes of a medical professional more so then the eyes of a mother. Protecting myself from anymore pain which caused more pain. He reiterated that life starts a conception, that we are now parents of an angle & we can have peace in knowing our baby was given immediate entrance into heaven. This was exactly what I needed to hear.

I went home nervous and excited to share this with DH. He hasn't talked about it much. I felt pretty alone in greeving over the MC. He would say stuff like, at least we know we can get pregnant now, and tried to be positive about it all. The reality of it didn't hit him till I told him what the therapist had said.

This was huge step forward in our relationship. DH surprised me by wanting to name our baby. We names it Gabriel which is an archangel who typically serves as a messenger to humans from God. If it was a girl we would have called her Gabby, a boy Gabe.

What brought you comfort & helped you deal with your loss?
