Oh wow. I cannot begin to tell you how this poem hit me. As a mother who had two miscarriages, it is an absolutely catastrophic event to go through. You do wonder all the things you have mentioned. If my first miscarriage would have went full term the baby would have graduated high school this year. It's very painful to think about and you have written of it so well. Hope the pain subsides and my regards.

Oh Dizzy, I am so so sorry, I do feel your pain, I've also suffered from a miscarriage and wondered about all the same things you've written, I dont want to repeat anything that dixiedaisy above me said, but it is such a rough thing to have to go through. My little one would be going on 27 right now.... but things happen for a reason, guess God figured you werent ready for this yet or that it just wasnt the right time. You did nothing wrong sweetie. Your words are heartfelt and filled with emotional pain. It will take time, but you will heal. Just know that I am here for you and I love you.

Oh no. I so hope this was just a poem and not a true story. Like DixieDaisy, I know too well how traumatic this experience can be. I, too, believe that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we don't understand it, but you will get through it in time.
I wish you well.

First off, if this is true, I am extremely sorry for your loss. You've probably heard it a million times, but there is never really anything to say besides that. I can't imagine the emotion that's overwhelming you, and it saddens me that such things happen to those who actually want their child. I hope the pain subsides with time, and that something this harrowing will not overtake you completely with grief for too long a period of time.

As for the actual piece, the poet inside me is kicking to critique. But I must say, this piece was extermely amazing compared to others I've read by you. Because of the emotion, it's especially shattering.

Guess heaven needed one more angel
`This is an absolutely BEAUTiFUL choice of diction. It holds such strong heartbreak; a sweetest sadness. The wrenching grace in this "reasoning" of why the baby was lost ... it's just inspiring.

And I'm sorry for the things that I did
Can't help but feel it is all my fault
`I feel it would be read better as:
"And I'm sorry for the things I did,
I can't help but feel that it's all my fault."
It makes more sense? *shrugs.

And every time I see a giggling baby
My entire being cries out in silent pain
`You already used a different version of "silent" in the previous stanza, and it sort of takes away from the emphasis of the word. Maybe try a synonym? Either way, these lines are really gutwrenching. I never feel empathy while reading poetry, but Lord, you made me want to tear up.

There's just some wording that you should work on that dull the shining of this piece, but nothing can top the saddening beauty of the emotion that's so openly portrayed here.

Again, I am sorry if this is actually true.

that made me just break down and cry... hon, Im so sorry for your loss. I have one child of my own and another on the way and I worry constantly about this thought or if it will ever happen to me. So many women and girls it happens to, and sometimes by having a child, I feel ashamed to be put in that place (sometimes, when feeling happy), it makes me break down and cry because I knew that some mothers had their children just snatched away before born.

sorry for your loss. I will do my best to listen if you need someone to.
