I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. I lost my mother five years ago (October 25th). She died the day after her first Great-Grandchild's 1st Birthday (my niece's little girl). We had just found out the month before that I was pregnant. We lost our first baby(4 weeks pg). My mother had always known how much I wanted a baby, so she was REALLY looking forward to this grandchild! She died suddenly, even though she had a chronic illness..COPD. We had just lost HER mother almost exactly one year before (Sept. 2005), so we had also just gone through the grieving process together.

There are times when something will just "hit" me that makes me think of my mother, and it hurts again, but it DOES get easier over time.

The funny thing is, my daughter is SO MUCH like my mother! Her looks, her "mannerisms", her sense of humor.

Unfortunately, we have been trying for another baby since our daughter was a year old (she's now four), and I've had FIVE miscarriages.

Good luck in your TTC journey. Don't give up HOPE! :)

Hi Scarlett!

Thanks for your post! I am so sorry to hear about your mom, and your miscarriages. It is very encouraging to hear you have a daughter who reminds you of your mom, I would love that! I really hope your journey for your next child gets easier, and that you get preggers soon! I also have times when it hits me, and there are so many times I have wanted to ask her things, but I still hold on to the fact that we will have a baby some day! I just know it! Best wishes and I will pray for you!

I have not lost my mother but do appreciate your post. Thank you for sharing your story and helping me remember what really is important in life. The people that we love that are right here. Much love.

Thank you Sweet Augustine! You are so right, the people right here right now are so so important! Thanks for your post!
