Aw, I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Catholic Lady. Please accept my condolences. Two of my brothers are named Joseph and Paul, so I'm partial to those names. Wishing you and your husband courage and strength in the coming days and weeks. xo

Not sure if I told you before Cath-y but my wife had trouble with miscarriages. She had one son who was 6 when we met . (He will be 40 this month, BTW, 12 years older than I was when I met his mother.) I wish you more luck next time and in the meantime I hope you find peace and equanimity about it soon if you haven't already. In most things you have a great attitude. Please be as kind to yourself as you always are to all of us.

Deb. That is devastating ...
I'm speechless...
Please don't read too much into it ...mother nature can be a heartless bitch at times ... She'll make up for it in another way...
Thinking of you.

I don't have the words to console you or describe what I am feeling. I hope he returns to you again...

This is awful. I'm so sorry for you. Obviously I can't even imagine how it must feel. Like others said, you have a firm foundation of support here. I can't relate to your pain but I will always be there in case you need to reach out. I'm sure anyone here will be.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

CL, we certainly understand why you left, anyone would. And we have family and friends who go through heath issues and we can have them too, so we most certainly understand that you do what you got to do to make it through.
