    When I was married, we lost a child and it's a terrible thing. I am so, so sorry for you. You have my sincere sympathy, both of you.

    Dear Darkknight and wife, I am truly sorry to hear of your situation. I can empathize with your overwhelming desire to be parents. I suffered almost 13 years of infertility. The testing, charting, major surgery, fertility drugs, failed adoption, took a terrible toll physically, emotionally, and financially. Month after endless month of disappointment, frustration, depression until........ I gave up ...... and got a job I really enjoyed and my husband decided he no longer wanted children.

    Of course, THEN I became pregnant. I was beyond overjoyed and my husband ruined the news by being furious. Husband eventually softened his stance and I gave birth to a healthy beautiful boy.

    A few months later we tried for a second child. This time BINGO success first month! The joy was short lived though, as I miscarried twins at 10 1/2 weeks. Of course, I was heartbroken, but at least I had my baby to ease the sting.

    18 months later we had a beautiful healthy daughter. No more children were desired and no more came along. Fast forward 15 years ... a divorce straight from hell, two devastated teenagers, my dearest relative died, I remarried Baalamsass, the kids HATED him and moved 5 hours away with their criminal father and his roomate (who was charged with having sex with his handicapped stepdaughter) while we were on our honeymoon. Son and daughter got in serious trouble while I watched helplessly- the trainwreck. (authorities said the kids were old enough to consent!!!???)

    Then at age 21 my son moved back with me and was doing great. Until that day(a couple of months later) that changed my life as much as the joyous news of my pregnancy. "++++++ died in an accident this afternoon".

    Sorry, my post was cut short.

    I told you a shortened version of a long long story not to bring you down but to say I "get it" but that the human spirit is tougher than we can imagine. I want you to know that you have every reason to believe you will get through this. We feel for you and we CARE that you are hurting. You will never forget the precious child you lost but the pain will lessen- I promise. I send all my positive thoughts and well wishes to you and your doctors.

    Sending you love in your time of deep sadness and grief, and wishing you, your beautiful wife and twin A comfort, blessings, health and gentle nudge to keep focused on staying as present with twinA as much as possible sending your baby as much joy and love and higher vibrations as he/she comes into the world. (perhaps A is feeling sadness and grief too as close as twins are?) Darknight, thank you for sharing your grief and reaching out to us. You are loved and everyone is praying for your family in our own ways, but here for you.

    Blessings and love,

    xo
