Grief is a complex emotion

Earlier tonight as I was preparing for bed I thought to myself that this loss has felt different.  I am not a crying mess like I was the first time or with Gavin. I've been sitting here tonight watching Gavin's montage over and over and crying.  It occurred to me that because I am still grieving him it's been difficult to separate the emotions involved with his death and the loss of this baby.  Or maybe because I am still grieving him I didn't let myself get too emotionally attached to this pregnancy....out of fear...and for that I am sad.

Poor little babe, you were very much wanted.  I am sorry you were not to be our Rainbow after all.

I am tired in more ways than one.  I wonder how much more I have in me.  How many cycles to ttc? Can I survive much more heartache?  It's been 5 years, countless blood draws, countless ultrasounds, 4 HSG's, 1 SIS, countless injections and medications, 6 IUI's, 1 medically induced miscarriage, 1 natural miscarriage, 1 d & c, 1 neonatal death and 1 living child.  It feels like the odds are falling further and further to the negative. Brennan might just be an only child after all.

My mom had my brother, and then had 4 miscarriages. One of them was a late term, she named him Louis. 7 years after she had my brother she had me, there's always a possibility, even after so much heartbreak. :( <3

I can imagine that after everything that you have been through, this must feel different. I'm sorry, Glo. Nobody should have to go through so much.
