Brothers, I have had a very rough past few months and I actually forgot I made this account until scrolling through old emails. I like this board though, so I want to hop back on. I almost want to give another intro but I won’t do that.
Unfortunately, over the last several months some very unfortunate events happened in my family’s lives, mainly my wife and me. My wife was pregnant and lost the baby. This was our fourth miscarriage. This one was especially hard because she was so far along in the pregnancy. We went to the fertility doctor on a Monday and she was all good. Her heartbeat was strong and she was kicking her little legs and moving her arms all over the place. Her fingers and toes were even moving.
Three days later my wife got into an auto accident and we went to the hospital to get things checked out and they wouldn’t tell us anything at the ER concerning the baby. They just told us we needed to follow up with the baby doctor. We saw him the next day and when the ultrasound tech put the thing on her stomach we automatically knew she was no longer alive. All we could see was the outline of our deceased little girl. The doctor told us the auto accident had no cause in her death. She died the day before. It was heartbreaking for both of us and my Elizabeth has struggled so much this time. It’s been a very sad time for us. Depression, anxiety, and grief, has really affected us and I’ve been holding the family together. He self-confidence took a huge hit, because she put on weight and she has been worried that I didn’t love her anymore because we keep losing my child at no fault of her own. It got to the point to where she got it in her that that she wanted to leave me so I could find someone younger and in better shape that will be able to have my child and make me happy because she wants me to have a baby of my own. It has just been a heartbreaking time.
Thank God, though, she is so much better now and our relationship is stronger than ever. I’ve been getting counseling and she is doing the same. She is actually trying to get back in shape and work on herself more. She was baptized this past Sunday at church and we are moving on and going to keep trying as long as she wants to and her health is up to it.
I hope this all wasn’t too much information, but I wanted to share a little bit about where I’ve been and what I’ve been going through. It’s cathartic. I hope the rest of you are well and I’m going to try to participate more in some of my free time! Much love.
