...........you were missed
You will never have fears or pain greater than what you are feeling now.....those of a child. I can do nothing but pray for you, your wife and your child.
That has already been done.

Hey guys. I'm here. My worst fears came true this week as we lost our baby. I have to believe he's in a better place now, but it hurts nonetheless. I was supposed to bring my son home, not his ashes. And now my days and nights are filled with memories of things that never even happened. Taking him to his first game, teaching him how to tie a tie, letting him sit on the SportsCenter desk. I wander around aimlessly these days. But I know this will take time, though it doesn't make things any easier.

Still, others have suffered too. My heart aches for Monkfan's friend who lost his daughter in a house fire, or BleedBurgundy who, with his wife, had waited for the right time to have their baby and lost theirs too.

Our pregnancy was a surprise and I took it for granted. Now I know I won't next time and as scared I am about the next time I know we're ready.

I'll start responding in the locker room again soon. I have some thoughts and insights

Hey man. I know things must be pretty tough for you right now but you are right, now you will be better prepared when your wife does get pregnant again.

And you shouldn't come back because we all like you and want you around here to share your insights. You should come back when you're ready. I'd have a hard time thinking about the Redskins at a time like this, but if you can take the time out to visit the boards at a time like this it just proves you're a stronger man than me.

I kind of need the distraction y'all bring

I'm so sorry man. I can't imagine. It will take time but things we return to normal for you. You won't forget but it won't hurt as much. Here's hoping those days come sooner than later. Prayers.

SS, sorry to hear it man. Here's to happier days in 2011 for you.

In a lot of ways you've already been a great dad over the past weeks and months. You'll be great when the day comes.

Who knows what my thread title would have been. I was in the extreme anger phase just a couple of days go. I was deliberately bumping into people on the subway, trying to get someone, anyone, to fight. Nobody did, which is good, I made some unwise bumps.

Sorry to hear the outcome; like Schneed said you'll be ready/great when the time is right. I hope you two stay strong, I know that you know this but you need to be really supportive of her in every sane way possible right now. We have a new year amongst us and I hope that your family finds it to be prosperous.

SS, my ex-wife and I had a child not make it through the first trimester (a very shaky time for every pregnancy), it sounds like yours went further. Our second pregnancy was a boy, born early and immediately went into NICU (newborn intensive care) and nearly died. As my profile pic shows, he survived, and we had two more awesome kids(my next two also were early but were given medication invitro that kept them stable at birth. I hope you and your wife will be equally blessed. It is a hard time, you know that, but it's not a sign or symptom, and you and yours will recover possibly with abundance.

God speed sir.

SS very sorry to hear this (I didn't notice the original thread). My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.
