Without going into too much detail, on Tuesday evening, I was taken to the hospital. Due to the situation and the amount of blood loss, I was kept overnight. But this time, when I was sitting in the hospital, I had a few realizations.

The waiting game nobody sees The emotional high and low Of counting and tracking and hoping That its our time to start to show

So close. We were so close to being pregnant again; I could feel it. My anxiety was ramping up, I was gaining weight, I could feel cramping in my abdomen- I knew we were finally heading in the right direction.

I cleaned the nursery today All the books, clothing and art Just sitting there catching dust Gone before I had the chance to start

So I keep riding this roller coaster of emotions, waiting for my chance to one day step off this horrible road of twists and turns, ups and downs. Trying to process this season of life that we are in while holding onto any glimmer of hope I can find. But it’s hard, and I’m tired. And we’re only just beginning again.

I know the feeling of hopelessness. I have lived in this dark state for weeks, feeling like there is nothing that will lift my heart out of this deep place. I didn't realize there was such a low point for me until I look back on these weeks since we lost our baby. The worst feeling for me was when we were in the hospital right after our miscarriage had just happened.

I've been waiting for this day with so much hope and excitement since we found out we were pregnant. May 5th is our anatomy scan day! We would finally be able to see our little guy in full view and see him growing into his little body.

I immediately purchased the two dogs that looked like Ramsay and Rhodie, but I didn’t realize that a few weeks later, I would also buy the painting “Dancing With Jesus” to go with the two dogs.

I knew this next step was going to be difficult, but I didn't realize I would be reliving every step of our loss over again.

Each day brings something different and some are better than others. But for now, I will wait. I will be still. I will not rush or force healing, but learn to abide and see how he uses this terrible situation in my life for good.

How do you balance the feelings of being happy for somebody else while also grieving your loss?
