Andy's Two Cents

I don't know if any of you have come across this story yet, but the hubby forwarded it to me this evening. It was originally published on Oprah.com back in September. This is a copy of the article that CNN published this morning. I'll go ahead a warn you that he gives a graphic account of his wife's miscarriage. However, it was nice to see a man's take on the subject for a change. The grieving process he described is so true...I could see a lot of our relationship in his recollection. Andy said it made him tear up while reading it, and he thought it would make a good contribution to our blog.

  

A Father's Story: Mourning the Baby We Never Had

I know that some of us get very discouraged because we feel as if the man isn't grieving after a loss occurs. In all reality, it's very difficult for them too...they just use a different outlet to release it. Add infertility to the miscarriage and you have a recipe for social isolation at it's finest.

Mad props to Oprah.com and CNN for raising infertility awareness! Now, if we could just get the insurance companies to listen!
