Damary's Feelings....

Damary here: wife of Corey…..just needed to get some stuff off my chest….

I never realized how common having a miscarriage was, until it happened to me and so many people reached out to share their story.

So I am having some trouble with “moving on” part people are suppose to do after something bad happens.

I do not know if it is because I am putting too much pressure on myself and feel I should be a certain way and I am not there, not even close.

It has been about a month since I had the miscarriage and I am still as sad (actually I think sadder) as I was when I found out it was happening. I still find myself crying at the most random moments, especially when I am alone. And worst of all I keep having the worst dreams.

I fear that I am damaged and will not be able to have a third child. Than I just feel guilty and like an idiot for saying or thinking that, because I have been blessed with two successful pregnancies and daughters. There are people out there who will never have that…

I did not know how much I really wanted to have another baby with the man I love until I learned I was pregnant. I was so happy that I could not wait to tell everyone. I did not even wait to tell the girls and they were thrilled, starting talking about what they wanted to name the baby and how they wanted to play with the baby.

Now every once in a while, they ask me if the baby is back in my belly or is the baby still in heaven and my heart just breaks all over again.

This is so hard and I wonder if it is harder because of the fact I was told I was not pregnant, to than be told I am, to than be told I miscarried while I was hoping I wouldn’t.

Than to add to all of the saddness comes the problems that followed due to missing work, missing assignments at school and the medical bills showing up in the mail now…

How am I supposed to move on and begin to heal if I am still dealing with this all…

I just needed to vent….and I do want to say that my heart goes out to all the women and families who have lost a child at any point…it’s not easy!

Thank you for reading and for all the support,
Damary

    I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss, probably not what you want or need to hear. I do want to offer up that it takes an incredible woman to state how she "really" feels instead of just pretending that everything is okay. I could not imagine what you all have gone through as a family and what you are going through as a mother, but just remember people out there that you don't even know will be sending up prayers for you and your family tonight.

    I am so so sorry for your loss. Please do not think your parenting journey is over though! Besides the two beautiful girls you two have, there is still the chance to have more. I'm not a doctor (don't even play one on TV) and as I've never tried to have children I can't imagine the hurt you're feeling. However, I know my parents had a miscarriage before me and another after me...and I'm the oldest of 3 children.

    Always here for you and Corey,
    Gabriella

    I cannot say that i know how you feel... because i have never had a child or miscarried a child. I can say however that i am sorry for your loss and you and your family are in my prayers. Thankfully you have a husband who loves you and supports you and it looks like your family will be stronger through this... even through the hurt.

    take care!

    I had a miscarriage between my two girls. it was probably the most difficult thing i have ever had to experience. my miscarriage was over labor day of 2000. i still mourn the loss, 10 years later. but i have hope that this baby that i never got to hold is waiting for me in heaven, in all her (or his) perfection. one day, i will get to hold this baby, but in the meantime, she is being cared by my savior....and that gives me comfort. i am praying for all of you and i hope you find some comfort soon. don't be pressured to "move on" before you are ready. we all grieve differently, and you have a right to be sad. keep praying, and leaning on those closest to you. in time, you will be able to function normally again...but you will never "move on". you will always remember the baby that you didn't get to hold, but i pray that in the future, that memory will hold one of hope for things to come and not sadness over what cannot be.

    God bless you and your family.

Where I've Been The Past Week....

Hello Everyone, Some of you may have noticed and some of you may not have, but I haven't been online, whether here, Facebook, Twitter, or Daily Mile (I have spent some time on Google+, I must admit). And that was by design...I needed some time to think to myself. Last week I happened to look at the palm of my hands and notice quite a number of dark brown spots on my palm. I know my hands and knew that these were new. Which I was suddenly seized with an uncomfortable feeling: The Unknown. I emailed Damary, who helped me find a dermatologist and I called and they booked me for a week later (today), which if anyone who has been a new patient knows being seen this soon is both a blessing and usually a sign of urgency by the Doctor's office. Now mind you, a couple of weeks prior, I had started feeling crummy. So much so, I had told Damary if I kept feeling this way, I was willingly calling the doc to set up an appointment. So I went in today, having made the mistake of searching sym

I'm Fired Up!!!

So I will not mention names, nor will I apologize for what I am going to say or who it offends (I’m in my “house”, front door is ALWAYS open to come in, or leave)…but as my alarm went off…ok I will stop lying, I was up ten minutes before it went off, a barrage of thoughts ran through my head like the montage part of every episode of “Phineas & Ferb” I am weeks away from wrapping up my first year as a runner. What an amazing lunar cycle it has been for me. At first I started running because I wanted, no again being honest, NEEDED to lose weight and lower my blood pressure (go to any of the blog entries from a year ago, in case you don’t know, and you’ll see why). And there is no greater calorie burner than running (as long as you are willing to push yourself, compare an hour of any exercise, and running is most effective). Turns out, along the way, I discovered Me. Weight loss isn’t, and hasn’t been, on my radar in a while. I am not sure the last time I stepped on a scale. I just kn

Kentucky Derby Marathon Write-Up

So surprisingly, I slept through the night, Friday night. When the alarm went off, Saturday morning, I felt very rested and ready….Ready because I was on the verge of fulfilling a dream, and had put in the training. I grabbed my Superman shirt which I had the girls put there handprints in paint on, my Mile Dedication List that a dear friend of mine had made for me, my Power Balance Band, my Garmin, and put those one, and finished getting dressed. Damary and I knew that her and the girls weren’t going to be able to see me start, it was easier if they dropped me off, then she would go home with the girls (Lord knows they would have MORE than enough time to have a normal day before coming back to see me finish). As we pulled up and Damary was pinning my number on, one of my Daily Mile and Facebook friends, Wendy Bell, yells, “Hey Superman!” and introduced herself to me and Damary, which was nice to immediately see a friendly face. I then made my way, with all of the other runners to the S
