Oh Tiff, I'm so sorry to read your news. All I can say is that I'm thinking of you and saying prayers for peace and comfort. Hugs.

Oh Tiff :-(

I can't imagine what you're going through - you must have had high hopes for both of your pregnancies

I'm so sorry - you are in my thoughts. You and your DH.

Please remain positive!

I'm sure you will be after you have grieved for the baby, just give yourselves some time - but I'm sure you know that already after last year :-(

Best wishes, my dear - lots of love coming your way XXXXX

Tiff Apr 12th, 2006 07:47 AM

LoveItaly ~ thank you dear friend.

Mikemo ~ Gracias mi amigo. I remember when your DIL was going through her loss, we were so sad but then so relieved when you knew she would be ok and that the meds were working, we will keep that in mind.

gomiki ~ Of course I remember you, as now, you said such kind things on our report. Thank you for your good wishes.

mcnyc ~ What a kind thing to say.

Oh Tess, thank you, your earlier messages meant so much to me too, I appreciate it more than you know.

alya ~ You are so right, we did have high hopes indeed. I can feel all the love coming our way and it has brought us SO much comfort. I wish for everyone going through a hardship to have such support. I am overwhelmed.

What goes around, comes around, Tiff. You've always been so supportive of all of us. How could we not want to do the same for you?

Tiff--

So sorry to hear of your heartbreaking news. I was hoping for better news after reports of your low betas last week. Please take time to grieve and be comforted with your loved ones surrounding you. If you are looking for a place to vent online, or talk to other women that have been through the same thing, take a look at rubber-ducky dot org. They have a specific message board for grief and loss and several of those ladies, myself included, have experienced devastating ectopic pg's.

Hugs to your and your DH,
AZWildcat

tiff...our thoughts are with you. i read somewhere once..."the world is insane, in ways that heal, as well as hurt". and, the body is a complicated, and capable thing. anything is possible!

AZWildcat--I meant to post and thank you for that link to rubber ducky. I checked it out this weekend...it *is* a terrific place to go. Thanks for letting me (and Tiff) know about it.

This is last weeks, I was not on and as there is sorrowful news already- I'm just adding my news for those who have emailed me directly. You all have no need to answer or reply, it's just a way for me to state the facts for myself, or to cyberspace or anyplace but here.

And I read that "what goes around comes around" refrain and think it sometimes isn't so.

My Mom is dying slowly and in a piecemeal horrendous fashion- she's 2 months past her prognosis now, my sister is in her second phase of a 3 phase chemotherapy that will last another 13 months and now my father has had a major stroke and is paralyzed on his left side, can't talk, can barely swallow.

Rants look entirely different to me now than they did a year ago.

I'd switch with just about any of you right now.

gomiki Apr 12th, 2006 11:03 AM

Dear JJ5, I don't have the words to say how sorry I am about this situation you are in. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

CAPH52 Apr 12th, 2006 11:11 AM

JJ5, I have to echo gomiki. No one should have to go through what you're enduring right now. I'm sure it makes you wonder about the old saying that God never gives you more than you can bear. However, obviously He knows that you're a very strong woman. I hope it helps at least a little bit to know that we're all praying for you and your family.

Tiff Apr 12th, 2006 11:18 AM

JJ5 ~ I am truly sorry for the pain and illness that you and your loved ones are experiencing. May you continue to find strength from those that care about you. Peace.

OneWanderingJew Apr 12th, 2006 12:46 PM

JJ5--I'm at a loss for words. I don't feel like 'I'm sorry' is enough for all that you and your family is going through.

JJ5 Apr 12th, 2006 12:54 PM

That's ok- no need to answer. Just welcome me back with some cheer when there comes a day. Thanks.

cmcfong Apr 12th, 2006 12:55 PM

JJ5, you and your family are in my prayers.

Oldmyst Apr 12th, 2006 01:27 PM

JJ5, I am so sorry about your family. I can imagine what you are going though. I lost my sister at age 35,grandmother, favorite uncle and mother with a few years of each other. I saw my mother die, and not a day doesn't go by that I don't think of her. I truly feel for you, and I am with you in my thoughts and prayers. Just remember you have a lot of people here to support you and help you get through this horrific time.

Tess, I am still sending you good thoughts. Lisa

ethel Apr 13th, 2006 05:27 AM

JJ5--I, too, am at a loss for words. I know you don't expect us to answer you back but I just want you to know that my heart reaches out to you. I am deeply sorry for all that you and your family are enduring right now. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

seetheworld Apr 13th, 2006 09:17 AM

Dear Tiff,

I am so very sorry to read about your turn of events. Such highs and lows of life - who knows the reasons why. I was once told that when we ask the question "Why?" we close the door to peace and hope. May you and your DH have peace - I know you have lots of hope. I share your hope too.

Hugs and love ((l))

Your friends are here for you.

Otto, I am sorry to read about the loss of your grandfather. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

JJ5, (big sigh) just hold on. My prayers are with you. Please, please, take care of yourself!
