Sometimes the downs follows the ups...

Partner to the up of posting about pregnancy is the down of posting about not being pregnant anymore.

Thursday evening, about 4:30am, Angie had a miscarriage. She was sent to the hospital for the usual checkups and all that. They kept her in the hospital for a couple of days with a uterine infection and is now back in the hotel with me and Leif in Quebec city. We're doing well, and will head back to Montreal tomorrow - probably flying back to California on Wednesday.

I feel like I want to say something more, but I just don't know what to say. I hope you are all doing alright. My love to all three of you.

Yeah, I understand. I think that's about where we're at, too. On one hand, we have relatives who are gushing about this being another death in the family, and how it's losing a child, and we totally don't think of it that way. We hadn't felt it move, so it was still really quite fictional and surreal to a degree - And not in the lowest risk category, given the IUD and other things. On the other hand, I have another relative who's now telling me about things he hates about cell phones, as his died after I told him this evening. Doesn't quite feel right either.

There was a posting at work about a book, something about how we never know what the right thing to say is when something bad happens, and about how what we say is probably the wrong thing anyway. I saw the announcement that the author was coming to speak, just giggled and went "I don't think I need to read that this year, y'know?"

Thanks for the hugs and love (And to everyone else replying. I'll go through and acknowledge them soonish). It'll be good to be in Montreal for December 1st.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Sorry for your loss

[imauuru.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry Jeff and Angie for your loss. Not just for the miscarriage but even more for the loss of hope ... of the dreams ... of the unfulfilled promise that was your unborn child. Despite having seen several friends go through this, I still cannot imagine how hard this must be. I never have any idea what to say but I hope that you do find comfort in one another and from amongst your friends.

Sad! As you said, there is no right thing to say. But I feel for you, friend!

*hugs* I'm so so sorry.
(And I can relate about not knowing what the right thing to say is when things go wrong).

I'm sending good energy to you, Angie and Leif. And sending good thoughts to the little one who didn't make it.

[thatanikagirl.livejournal.com]

Sending you love and prayers and healing thoughts. I'd love to call, but don't have your current numbers. Please let me know if there's a way I can get ahold of you. Please let me know if there's anything we can do.

[queerpanda8.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about you all this morning (no particular reason) and just thought I'd say "Hi" and send you big hugs.

Sorry to hear that. I saw you a few times while I came to the office last week, and for some reason, didn't stop to say hello, I was getting a "busy" vibe, I guess maybe you had something else on your mind than work! Take care of yourself and the family, and see you in a little while.
