I'm putting this in the family forum because a woman isn't the only one who feels a loss when a baby is miscarried. 13 years ago I had my first miscarriage at 6 weeks. I heard the heart beat and saw the tiny life inside me. Unfortunately the baby didn't make it. A year later I had another miscarriage at 4 weeks. My heart was broken. I did go onto have two healthy beautiful children that I am eternally grateful for but sometimes I long for the other two. I never met them or held them. Because it was so early I didn't know what their gender is.
Is it normal to feel a space sometimes because two of my children aren't here. I know it's not the same as losing a child at a later age. That's not something I'd wish on anyone. But I have thoughts of what they might be like especially when I see my children. Today I felt pain about them and just longed to see them. I know that sounds strange but I just wonder if they know who I am and the rest of their Earthly family is.
I also wonder when I die will I know them? I sometimes think I'd have 4 kid's had they survived and my heart hurts a little.
I wonder how others who've experienced this loss feel. Male or female. I know a Father feels the loss too and it's equally difficult for them.
