Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share something positive that surrounded my miscarriage. It happened mid October 2012 and literally killed my husband and I, I was 13weeks along and we found out at our first scan.
So through my crying constantly, sobbing my heart out and basically falling apart my hubby stayed strong for us both and kept things going as normal for which I am so thankful.
As November came round he came to me with the idea of participating in 'Movember' but instead of the usual men's charities he wanted to fundraise for 'The Miscarriage Association'. He set himself a target of £250. I thought it was a fantastic idea and really helped me to cope, taking my mind off the pain and grief and being pro-active about everything!
We tallied up the total a few weeks ago and through family, friends and co-workers he managed to raise £428.75!!! I am so proud of him for his lovely idea and recognise this as his way of handling his grief as he has been so strong through all of this.
We started ttc early January and haven't had success this month which has, for me, brought the pain straight back to the surface but I'm hoping we will soon be expecting again and leaving our first scan with a strong, loud baby heartbeat echoing in our ears and a beautiful scan picture in our hands!
Donating this money is our way of creating a memory of our little baby that we never got to meet, always in our hearts :-) xxx
