Blind Grief

Miscarriage invokes a blind kind of grief.
A grief that
Gropes in the darkness,
Trying to find something to hold on to.

When what you carried was

lost.

And what you thought was real

wasn't.

Joy dashed to pain
Hope flung far away
Peace longed for

Why would I even want to step into the same place
And knowingly put myself in a position to

risk

Joy dashed to pain
Hope flung far away
Peace longed for?

I don't.

All I know to say is that, again, I'm so sorry for your loss...and I'm glad that you're able to express your grief in this way...and I hope you have other outlets for it as well (as many as you need). I continue to pray for comfort for you, dear one.

Oh Jackie... I've been through this and I'm so so so sorry. What you're doing by expressing it is the best thing, though, and so brave. You have so many sisters out here who have endured this silent, painful loss of a person you already loved but nobody else could see. Sending you a mental hug with lots of tears in my eyes.
