Nephilim, I and my wife know what you are going through. It happened to us 5 years ago. I have never known such emptiness and disapointment in my life. Stick close to your wife, she needs your love and understanding more now then she ever has. You both have to walk this road together. If you ever need to talk, I and I am sure many of us are here patsue |

My sincerest condolences friend.
My wife & I went through this same ordeal very recently, so I know that things seem a little bleak right now. Hang in there! Miscarriages are extremely common (especially with first pregnancies), and most of the time they are not symptomatic of any serious or persistent underlying problem. Things will get better soon Nephilim, and in a couple of months you & your wife can get back to starting a family. Best regards, NYP |

May God comfort, bless, and keep you and your wife in this truly trying time.

So very sorry... May God bring some comfort to you and your wife

I lost my first Son in this manner.
It still hurts 12 years later. Thank God we were lucky enough to conceive again and I now have a 12 (almost 13) year old Son who's my best buddy. My condolences and prayers go out to you and your wife. |

I offer you my sincere sympathy for you and your wife.
My wife and I went through a tough time when we lost our child during her second pregnancy. We already had a son and assumed that everything would be fine when she got pregnant again. Like your experience we found out at the Dr.'s office during an ultrasound. They checked multiple times, but it wasn't meant to be. Later we had another child and it now seems that it was simply meant to be. We only wanted two children and I could not imagine life without our youngest son. He would not be here with us today if this terrible incident had not happened. Sometimes we have to accept that "the Lord works in mysterious ways" and allow time for the future to unfold before us. |

May God be with you & your wife during this difficult time.
Sincere condolences. |

+1 I am so sorry to hear this. |

I'm sorry for your loss.
Take heart & don't be consumed w/ what you could or could not have done to prevent it. I used to work in a ER, & it was amazing how frequent spontaneous abortions, fetal death, & other complications occurred (during the 9-mo. gestation period). It's one of those risks of pregnancy that everyone is subject to, whether they know it or not. I know this doesn't mitigate your loss, but don't give up. A friend of mine lost her first pregnancy to a spontaneous (naturally-occurring) abortion, but she & her husband succeeded the 2nd time. It hurts, as well it should. Just don't give up. |
|
I'm sorry man! If you need ANYTHING, IM me. We will get it worked out. My prayers to you my friend.
|
|
So sorry to hear that, friend. I'll say a prayer, that your pain may be lessened.
|
|
My deepest regrets. I've prayed for you. Be strong and may God give you the strength to surpass this obstacle and allow you to fulfill your family with mercy.
|
|
I can't imagine what that must be like. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there.

He/She will always be on your mind from today forward. Wondering what he/she is doing, wondering what he/she would have been... But be rest assured that you have a guardian angel. THAT is what he/she is doing. Be there for you wife and this is a tough time. Not to sound cliche but yes, the wound does heal... yet the scar will remain. Good luck to you both and you are in my prayers.

My wife and I experienced this kind of heartache 7 times before we gave up and adopted our daughter, Agnes.
My wife took the brunt of the disappointment but it did effect me too. But I know it was harder on her because she wanted a child sooooo bad. I could have lived the rest of my life with just her and been happy. Though I would have ALWAYS wonder what it feels like to be a father. Now I know what it feels like to be a father and I would not trade it for anything. Keep strong in your faith and like someone else posted earlier. Miscarries are very common when first trying to get preg. and most couples go to have several children with no problems after the initial hardship. PS: On a lighter note... I conceal-carry all the time. If I go outside I have my trusty SIG239 9mm in the small of my back in a IWB holster. My daughter sees do this as much as she sees me pick up my carkeys. We just got back from vacation where she found a little girls cowboy playset with a little chrome western revolver and a pink holster. She told her Mother, "Now I can carry like daddy". Remember now she is only 3 years old. The other day I was lounging on the couch and she slowly meandered into the living room and stood there for a minute. Then she turned back toward the hallway took a few steps and stopped facing her bedroom. She lifted up the back of her little shirt and I could see her lil' cowboy pistol sticking out of the back of her jeans. She never looked back to see if I noticed. She just put her shirt back down and walked to her room. I HAD A GRIN ON MY FACE 2 FEET WIDE. Since she was old enough to hand me bullets one at a time and help me load stripper clips I have been emersing her in firearms. She can point out my REAL pistols and rifles from her TOY pistol and rifles. Even though I have told her never to touch REAL guns when Daddy is not around, I always keep my firearms secured in my safe. Except for my carry which is always with me. Sorry for the long post but I just wanted you to know that once God does bless you, these current heartaches will melt away forever. Tell your wife that my family will keep you guys in our prayers. |

God I ask for your peace to overwhelm the sadness in this family's time of need. Share with them Your strength in this day. I pray and ask You to come and meet with them personally, bear them up Father, comfort them with your presence.
God I pray that this will draw the family together in love. I can only imagine what your hearts are feeling right now, I will not pretend to understand. I do know thought that if you will cry out to God, He will hear you and He will give you answers, strength, peace and even joy in the middle of this storm. I have been in places before that I'd rather never have had to be, feelings I'd rather never have felt, every time, when I stopped trying to bear teh pain in my own strength and cried out to the Lord, He was faithful and come to me with mercy, strength and relief. God bless you. |

I've been there too, so sorry to hear that. Pray, love each other, and things will be okay.

Sorry to hear that, I can't imagine what it feels like.
I was though semi-prepared for it after attending a birthing class. Think of it as nature's way of ensuring that any baby you have to full term is strong and healthy. |

My prayers are with you and your wife, Nephilim. Your wife will be even more emotionally devestated by this than you are; women are often (falsely) convinced that this is somehow their fault. It will be your responsibility to be the rock that she clings to. Be strong for her. God bless you both.

Brother Nephilim, I won't try to tell you that I know anything about why the Lord brings a family together at times and why He sometimes doesn't.
I can't begin to explain why some children are saved, while others aren't. All I know is that it is not the Will of God that any one should perish, especially these youngest and most defenseless ones.... But it happens, and I know that the Good Lord, Who is the Author of all our happiness, is to be thanked and praised in the darkest hours , as well as those filled with His Light. There was a Child born once, Who was destined to suffer under Pilate, be crucified, die, and buried. And yet with all the humilation and unseemly death that stood before this Child, His Life and Birth was celebrated in Heaven. In Heaven this evening, and forever and always, there is a celebration of the Life of your child. It may be a few days before you read this thread again, but when you do let me assure you that there is nothing in this present world that will not be made right in the next. I know that one day, one Bright and Shining Morning, you will see your child as that child was meant to be. Keep the Faith and you will be comforted by the Lord Himself. Our Most Gracious and Merciful Heavenly Father, we come before You this evening with hearts full of grief for the loss of a precious child. A child that was loved by many even before it drew a single breath upon this good earth. We do not pretend to know the whys and the wherefores for our own existence, much less do we have any answers for the sudden death of this child and the tragic loss felt by the parents. All we know is that every good and perfect gift comes to us directly from Your Hands, and that everything works out to the good for those who love You, and we love You eternally. Breathe the Breath of Life into the soul of this child in Heaven and show the child what depth of love its parents hold for it. Let the child know how it was loved and wanted by a mother and father, and that this love will be cherished and remembered by them until that very Day when we all meet together in Your Kingdom. Prepare us all for that meeting. Holy Father take this young couple of grieving parents into the Palms of Your Everlasting Hands and bring comfort to them as only You can. Wipe away their tears, and remove all the sadness and hurt from them in Your due time. All this we ask in the Name of Jesus. Amen. |

Your wife and yourself will be in my prayers |
