Today

by HereWeGoAJen on August 30, 2011

I really ought to be saying that yes, today is my due date and no, I haven’t had a baby yet, so leave me alone already and stop asking me how I am feeling.

But instead, well, you know…

I started reading you after your questionnaire went up on The Blathering. I remember your answer about having lost a baby and thinking, unfortunately, that we have that in common and what a crap thing to share with someone.

I’ve read back through your posts and I’m just so sorry about your loss. I hope that today is kind to you and to your heart.

I found the due date of my son I lost to be particularly painful also. His birth/death date is coming up soon, and I wonder how will deal with that. You are in my thoughts and prayers today.

I hate this. I hate that Luke isn’t with you anymore.

My heart is aching for you today. Still. After all these months the wound is still fresh. For the both of us.

I keep telling myself that the due date is just a date now. Luke has his day and it is March 20th.

Abiding right along side you, friend.

Thinking of you, Matt, Elizabeth, and beautiful Luke… It’s unfair and ugly and awful and I wish there was a way to help. I’ll give you one more internet hug and hope that at least reminds you that you are cared for. <3

Oh Jen, What a sad day for you. I’ve been following your blog since everything happened and until this weekend I wasn’t able to fully wrap my head around what had happened to you. I had a miscarriage this weekend and though I wish this had never happened to you (or anyone for that matter), it’s comforting to me right now to know other people have had this happen, are able to work through it and share their feelings. Thank you for sharing what happened, it’s really made a difference for me.

So sorry Jen. I am definitely sending you an internet hug and will also send up some special prayers for you. Actually, just this past Sunday, during mass, the priest mentioned in a prayer about praying for those who have gone before us and I specifically thought of, and prayed for at that moment, your Luke. I think about you guys even when I’m not online. I’m sorry it had to be for such a sad reason, but you are thought of, by LOTS of people. Hope it helps the tiniest bit.

I am so sorry that people aren’t bugging you about if you delivered him yet. I am so sorry that you already delivered him much too soon and that he is not still here in your arms. Life really sucks sometimes. These milestones are really hard too. I am sorry that I am two days late in commenting here and letting you know that you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Remembering your baby boy with you this week and wishing he was still here on Earth. xoxo
