> Thanks FW, my heart goes out to you and Antigua. Knowing how much hurt there was for me I can only begin to imagine how much hurt there is any woman who suffers a miscarriage. (((((Fairwings, Antigua, everyone who's been through it)))))I just wanted to add my condolences to Fairywings and Antigua and Damos and others who have had this devastating experience. It hasn't happened to me, but it happened to two close friends and I've seen from closeby how painful it can be, even many years afterwards and even if people have children afterwards.
I think it's terribly unfair that people don't understand how painful it is and how long term the effects are. And there's almost nowhere that people can talk about it.
And also, Damos, I know that people don't understand how hard it can be for a man to lose a child in that way. It's such a physical experience for women that people seem to forget how hard it is for men. And it's perhaps even harder for men to find places to talk about it.
