Thirty Years Later There Is Still Grief
May 16, 2002
I had a miscarriage so many years ago, but sometimes it seems like only yesterday. My husband and I were thrilled when I found out I was pregnant with our first baby. Then the unthinkable happened I started to bleed. I was matron of honor for my girlfriend and it was at her bridal shower that I started. I made some excuse and left to hurry home. My husband was in a state of shock. The doctor put me on immediate bed rest for 36 hours. I then went to his office when he told me the most horrible news, that I had miscarried. I remember leaving his office and running out to the car just numb. Of course this was almost 30 years ago, and back then you were just given the standard advice it was a bad seed and just think of the fun you can have in trying again! Since this was my first my husband and I went through all the guilt and pain just the two of us. It took almost a year and half later when I got pregnant the second time with no complications and gave birth to healthy baby son.
