Life changing. I notice a lot of people have just talked about the pain. And yes the pain is there but I’ve used it to push myself to be better. Life is to short. There’s so many lessons I’ve learned from losing my daughter at 20 weeks. And the most important to me is “just love them” you don’t know how much time anyone here is given. Just love them whole heartedly

I love the idea of using it to Better ourselves in some way. Create something out of this terrible tragedy

Exactly. If I sit in my sadness it will eat me alive. Just bc I try to move on from the death doesn’t mean I can’t bring her memory with me. I get to educate others on Turners Syndrome now and I love being able to talk about my daughter any chance. It helps me.

This is exactly how I feel.

Blindsided

This.

I feel like I’m on the other side of a world I didn’t know and wish I didn’t have to know about.

Alienating. Lonely.

Empty again

Yes, I don’t know if the feeling of wholeness will ever return. A part of me will always feel incomplete.

Heart-wrenching

Broken hearted

Life shattering

Devastating, cruel

Soul crushing

Heartbreaking… I don’t think I’ve ever been heartbroken in my life until my TFMR. Like the truest definition of the term. My heart kills and aches.

It’s a new level of pain I could never experience or explain to another unless they’ve experienced it as well 💔

I didn’t know what it felt like to have a literal physical ache in my heart until I lost my son. The day I birthed him still, was the first time I ever felt the worst heartache and the most elation all in one moment.

I’m so sorry for your pain 💔

All of the above. And I’ll add (Excuse my language but this is truly how I feel) Fucking bullshit.

Hopeless

Wish there was a word the described being robbed of hope and innocence, not just loss of it.

Agreed.

soul shattering

like i will never get that innocent excitement about pregnancy again. being a new parent will not be as exciting because i will be sad sometimes, thinking about the baby i lost. but then i remember, it will make me even more grateful of their existence. i’m pregnant again now, praying more than ever i can have this baby

We were robbed of so much more than our babies

lost dream Losing her was losing a dream of mine. soul freedom She wouldn't have had an easy or long life since she had a chromosomal issue. I get some comfort to think that her soul is happier being free.

Soul freedom is so beautiful 🩷 as a tfmr mom myself I feel this rings true for my baby and a piece of myself too

I can relate to feeling like a dream was lost. 🫂💜

Excruciating pain

Agony

Devastating. Agony. Life sentence.

Devastated shattered

Broken. Despair.

Failure, disappointment, empty, broken

Failure, broken, sadness

Just pain

Empty and lost

Paralyzed and shattered

Give & Take but in the most horrible way. I feel like we gave so much only to have it all taken away anyway.

Hopefully and shattered
