OT: unfortunate news

[Jawa]

Just wanted to let my friends here on the Hellboy forum know that my wife and I have lost our baby. We went to the doctor today to hear it's heartbeat for the first time, and they weren't able to find a heartbeat at all. Unfortunately, my wife hasn't had a complete miscarriage as of yet, so please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

[Neil Hill]

Wow, I'm truly sorry to hear this news. I hope you guys will be okay.

[Tim OSullivan]

Not from the Hellboy forum, but saw this on the front page. My sincere condolences to you and your wife. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

[Catlin]

I'm so sorry :( Sending you a PM.

[Jawa]

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and wishes, we really appreciate that. You're all heroes in my book.

Jawa, I'm extremely saddened by the news.
My wife and I had an extremely tough go at it (with an eptopic pregnancy included in the mix) before we got pregnant with our Ellen, years after trying.
I wish you and your lady-love all the luck and the strength in the world...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...Take care.

[Tad]

Our hearts go out to you.

[Vakanai]

All my best wishes and condolences.

My prayers are with you, I'm so sorry.

[Gene Poonyo]

Oh, that was really unfortunate.

Hope everything else will turn out okay.

Jawa, my prayers for you and your wife in this very difficult time.

[Hellmistress]

Jawa, I've been in the same situation, so my heart goes out to you. I'll be thinking of you both, dear hearts.

Terribly sorry for your loss, Jawa. We're thinking of you.

[jnapper]

I am thinking of you both.

Thanks to everyone who posted. Again, the support means so very much. It's good to know people are thinking of us in this time. We are keeping our heads up, though. My wife talked to her mom for awhile last night, and her mom might be coming to stay with us for a few days (my in-laws live in Massachusetts, while we are in New York). It'll be good for her to have her mom here with us.

Thing is, we are keeping all of this in perspective. We weren't even sure we could get pregnant at all, because of health issues my wife has. Like the doctor said yesterday, thankfully we are discussing miscarriages instead of failed fertility drugs and such. Just the fact that we can get pregnant is a blessing. The first month my wife was off of birth control, she got pregnant. And right after that first miscarriage, she was pregnant again. So, hopefully, once this all passes, it won't be long before we are back on track.

Thanks again to everyone :)

My deepest and sincerest condolences to you and your wife. Be strong and lean on each other during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts here, my friend.

My first wife and I went through the same type of thing with a miscarriage that was devastating, but three months later we were pregnant and that beautiful baby is now a thirteen year-old pain in my butt !

Have hope and all will work out !

Jawa, Two of my very good friends recently went through the same thing & I know how difficult it was for them. You and your wife are in my prayers as you go through this.

[Mikolaj]

My thoughts are with you.

[Jawa]

Thanks again to everyone for your words and wishes. Please, if you can, continue to keep my wife and I in your thoughts, as she is going in this week for surgery that will bring this situation to a close, so we can move on with our lives and try again. All of my friends on the 'net have been so very good to us, thank you so much.

[Mike Cross]

Jawa, my sister went through this after having 2 girls already, then she had these troubles before once again having a very healthy girl. Hopefully, you will pull through this stronger than ever.

Just to update everyone, my wife had surgery today, she's still recovering but everything is ok now, and we can move on with our lives as best as we can, and start working on our family again. Thanks again to everyone who kept us in their thoughts and prayers (I've been typing something similiar to this a lot tonight, to my many friends across the 'net!). Peace :)

[lerochelle]

Words are not enough.... sorry is not strong enough... I know what its like. I will be thinking of you and hold you two in my heart.

[Kelly Tindall]

All my best to you and your wife.

[Rachel Edidin]

I'm so sorry. My thoughts will be with you.

[shonokin]

Just a glimmer of hope for you: My sister in law miscarried 4 or 5 times before she successfully gave birth... three times. All three kids grew up to be healthy, intelligent and wonderful people.

Don't give up! :) All my best thoughts to you guys.

[Jawa]

Thanks again to everyone who has posted their well wishes.

We had a little scare over the weekend, my wife needed a blood transfusion because she lost so much from the surgery, and we ended up being in the emergency room and hospital for over 12 hours (and awake for over 30 hours straight). Things are ok now, though. We have some of her family here visiting for several days, helping take care of my wife while she's stuck on light bedrest and I'm at work during the day. Everything should be turning around from here :)

Same happened to me - don't worry too much, it will just take time. It's just very scary! But remember to take care of yourself as well, okay? Give her lots of hugs from us, will ya, and I know you two will do just fine. Just remember to give yourselves time to heal and deal. Thinking of you both,
