need prayers for strength today

In a few hours I am off to the hospital to deliver my baby at 16 weeks! I have had a miscarriage before, but had a D&C since that one was at 10 weeks. I don't know how to get through this one and I need strength to make the right decision today. My first reaction was that I did not want to see the baby or know what sex it is, but now I am torn with guilt towards the baby.
I have two healthy children and I owe it to them to be able to move on after this and I don't know if that will be harder when I see he baby?

My prayers are with you. I regret not seeing and holding my babies. Its my biggest regret and something I can't get out of my mind. I would suggest maybe taking a picture even. Greif councelors would tell you that you need to see them to greive properally.

Remember this: We must accept finite disappointment, but we must NEVER lose infinite HOPE. MLK, Jr. Said this.

I delivered at 15 weeks and was unable to see or hold my babies due to being sick. I wish I would have been able to do that but it wasn't in the cards for me. I do have pictures. Do what you think is best and remember you have every right to grieve!! Regardless of how many healthy children you have.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
