It may sound crazy, but I felt the same way about a miscarriage. When I had the miscarriage, I was already the mother of three healthy sons so I didn't experience this in the same way a women who longs for a child experiences a miscarriage, nevertheless, it was a painful and heartbreaking experience to watch a life growing in you, end. As I weathered that experience, I thought about the fact that I shared in an experience that so many women have which would in some ways sensitize me to this sad affair.
