Catching up, and praying. Prayers and hugs for those having a hard time Sad

I am doing ok after my second miscarriage ok. Thanks again for all your prayers. We planted a pear tree in the garden yesterday as a place to pray for our lost babies- I think seeing new life grow and flourish is a nice tribute to them. I am still very tired and faint and jelly-legged though, have a doctors appt on Mon where I am hoping they will take bloods to establish if it's just anaemia (which we already know about) or an infection. Might ask about the possibility of a referral for counselling too, as last time my sadness I'd end up affecting me at work & at home, and I really want to move on positively this time. I am asking the Lord for strength, hope and to listen to his purpose for me, and also saying a big thank you for my DD (20 months) who is just scrumptious at the moment akin with my DH who has been a rock.

glad you have a supportive family. unlike mil who had a sulk that h did not contact her and say I was not up to meeting them on holiday just 2 weeks after the mc and still grieving. though we went as a family of 3 and came home with an extra stowaway

good idea about the tree. mil did suggest one at her house so she is not all bad and may have had a point about h not contacting her

Thinking of you FoD - I know some people can have quite a bit of bleeding in pregnancy and still hang on to their little beans. I wonder if there are threads on here about that ? Praying for a "sticky bean" as they say x

Thinking of you too bird - I'm so sorry for you loss.
The pear tree for remembrance sounds beautiful.
I'm glad your DD and DH are being a comfort and support to you.
Remember your DD is an amazing miracle that the two of you have created together with God's help. I hope one day there will be another miracle for you all
I don't know what to say really, it must be so hard x

Lurking and praying for all.

Bird - I'm so sorry. I think planting a tree is a lovely thing to do.

Has anyone heard how Ailidh and Beatrice are getting on? I've found myself thinking about both of them quite a bit. Prayers for them and their families.

Sorry I have been off line since before dinner last night. We had an Ascencion Day service and I didn't turn the computer back on. This morning we have had a dietician's visit for Bob, hugely reassuring that he has not lost any more weight over the past few weeks, when he has been feeling so much more breathless and so much less able to eat, although at 49kgs it is not a lot.
Sorry to hear about all the rubbishy days everybody has had, hope today is a lot better for everyone.

bird - You must be hurting so much, but planting a tree that you can watch grow is a wonderful and touching idea. Prayers for you.

FoD - Thank God that all continues to be well for you. Praying that it continues well.

Oma - Thank God that Bob hasn't lost any more weight. Praying that he's able to breathe better in the near future and therefore also able to eat better.

Please redouble prayers for expat's dd, who's had a really rough night. Sad
