Yesterday evening, I got 'the call' from one of the PPVI nurses. I knew it was coming. This is not the first time and so I knew! This is the sixth time and I knew from all the symptoms that it was inevitable. My HCG fell from 82 to 26.
I didn't have much emotion as I spoke with the nurse. I just wanted it to be over. She told me to do cycle reviews every month because my hormones need to be monitored. She told me it was a must! I haven't been doing cycle reviews regularly. Well after 6 early miscarriages, I have begun to accept that I may never cross over. I will never be one of the Former IF girls. I will never....
I just pray for healing, to accept myself, to find my worth. I know my life cannot be defined by the number of babies I have. I need to find meaning to my life. I need to be complete just as I am. I have been feeling worthless and incomplete but I know I need to be healed of these thoughts. I need to find a purpose other than treatment and babies. The last five years have scarred me deeply. I have become a different person. I have lost my confidence. I am afraid to do anything and everything.
This is not who I was. This is not what I wished to become but all the fears and insecurities have changed me so much. I still trust and love God with all my heart but I fear myself. I feel so helpless. I wish I could be my old self - happy and carefree. I don't know if it's possible but I am praying for emotional healing. I need to get a grip back on my life. I need to be a good wife to my husband. I need to be what God wants me to become. I cannot let fear and depression take over my life. Please pray for me that I will be healed from all the emotional scarring.

ReplyDeleteWords can never describe this loss, I'm sure. I am praying for completeness for you. I don't understand why god is asking so much suffering from you. I am praying for a clear direction that will help make his desires for you known. I am so sorry.

ReplyDeleteThis message is a bit belated in getting to you, but I wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear that you have had yet another loss. It is heartbreaking. What a scary experience with the side effects you were having! Did you ever talk to Dr. KK about what may have caused that? I have been praying for you each day since you posted your news. You have had some beautiful insights to share. I pray that you will find healing and peace in Christ.
ReplyDeleteI am just now reading this, and I wanted to tell you how deeply sorry I am that you had another miscarriage. I will offer up my suffering with you specifically on my mind. I was glad to read in some of your more current posts that you have been finding some peace in Jesus's arms through the Sacrament of Confession. God bless you, J.
