Bad Day, Fate

To-day the Fates dealt my Family a very hard blow. I guess I tempted them for boasting I was going to be a GrandFather in the Fall. My oldest Daughter lost her baby to-day. The Fetus died in the womb and they will have to induce a miscarriage this week-end. Needless to say we are all heartbroken. I was so looking forward to being a Grandad but it was not meant to be just now. My heart is shattered for my Daughter as she was so excited at the prospect of being a Mother. This is something I cannot protect her from. Fortunately for her she has a great guy for a Husband who will help her get through this and she knows that her Mother, Sister, and I will be there for her.
This also brought back some pretty sad memories for my ex and I as she had 5 miscarriages between our two girls. My ex has turned to her god for solace and perhaps it will help her .As for my self I will accept the will of the Creator and carry on hopeful that everything will turnout in the end.

I'm so sorry to hear this. They will get through this though, as will you and the rest of your family. My heartfelt sympathies to you all.

WallaceGal;

Thank you. It was a rough night kept thinking of whst might have been.



Camac.

I am so sorry for your heartache, Camac. It is hard to deal with the loss but do not even begin to think it happened because of your boasting. As you mentioned of previous loss between your wife and yourself, you know that they will be Very Special Ones when they do arrive.

I'm sorry to hear that, Camac. This is never easy. We consider ourselves blessed to get around it, but know that it can and does happen to anyone. I hope they find the courage to try again when they're ready.

Camac I am so sorry to be reading about your loss. My condolences going out to you and your family at this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of this. Losing any child is hard enough but a first is all the more difficult. As you say, maybe the timing wasn't right. My thoughts are with you and your family in this time of woe. May they end quickly.

To All;

I think what as made me so upset is that my daughter kept saying "I'm sorry Dad, I'm so sorry". She was apologizing to me because she knew how much I wanted to be a Grandad and it tore the heart out of me. I told her she had nothing to be sorry about it was just not meant to be. I feel guilty for putting that kind of pressure on her without realizing it and when things are calmer I will apologize and ask forgiveness for my selfishness.

To all of my Forum Friends my thanks for your condolences and sympathy. It will not be forgotten.

Camac, saying I'm sorry sounds so trite, but there is nothing else I can say. It is truly a bad day for your daughter and you and the rest of your family. My thoughts will be with you and I hope that the recovery in both body and mind is swift and complete.

Don't feel guilty, Camac. There are enough difficult feelings involved. Being excited about becoming a Grandfather is just as reasonable as it is for being a parent.

I've been off to Portland all weekend, so I'm just catching up this morning.
My deepest sympathies Camac. I know how tough these times are. Know that you and your family are in our minds and hearts.

Thank you my Friend. It was a really kick in the groin but it will pass and my Daughter said they are going to keep trying.

Camac,

I missed this thread earlier. Sorry to hear of your family's loss. You and your family are always in my prayers.

Camac,

I just saw this thread.

You will make a wonderful grandfather and your daughter will be a great mom.
There is nothing you should feel guilty about. Who wouldn't boast about becoming a grand parent?

I will look forward to you boasting once again. Take good care of your daughter and let her know how much she is loved.

Big hugs from here to your family,
