It has been almost a month since the worst experience in my life but in an odd way it was also the best. I have had two early miscarriages one in may of this year and one that started on November 15th Of this year the day my niece was born and lasted a horrible two weeks. although it was very sad for me to lose my baby I think it might have actually helped me a little bit to see my sister in laws baby.

My sister-in-law was in the hospital in preterm labor that they were trying to stop when I lost my baby. My poor in laws were beside themselves having both of their grandchildren in danger and we lost ours. I became very protective over my sister in law and brought her anything she needed. When she delivered it was the hardest day of my life and an exciting one. I was there, my heart broke every minute missing my child but when I held my nephew it was also wonderful. I'm so glad you feel positive toward your neice I read on her that many struggle with it.

I am sorry to hear about your loss.

My neice had a baby around the time our lost baby would have been due. It was very difficult to be around her during her pregnancy - just because it was a reminder of "what should have been" for me, but I was still happy for her.. It's been 2 years now and when I look at her little boy.. it's sort of bittersweet, just for a moment, thinking my lost baby would have been almost the same age.. Almost like a quick peek from heaven of what he'd be doing right now... still gives me feelings of happy and sad all at the same time.. more happy than sad now that I am what I'd consider to be through the grieving process - and more into a reminicising type of a feeling..hard to explain, it leaves me with a smile, while carrying a twing of pain.. just not so big that i have to cry every time I feel it..
