    hopefully this doesn't offend anyone. If it does I'm sincerely sorry.

    1 live baby,
    1 possible early loss while TTC DS - I'll never know for sure as it didn't occur to me until after DS was born, that may have been what it was.

    how do you grieve someone you're not sure existed? I feel like I don't have the right, or that I have the ability to grieve it. I didn't have hopes for it, I didn't bond with it. I didn't know s/he may have existed until DS was 6 months old.
    How does someone move past something like that? I feel like I'm stuck in limbo.

    I understand how you feel. You have the right to grieve, if you want to. I sometimes ask the universe "why?" just to get in off my chest. And other times when the subject comes up I pick up my DS2 & give him the biggest hug, & just let myself be thankful for him (we nearly lost him at birth, spontaneous labour at 33weeks) so maybe when you don't know how to feel about that pos early mc cuddle you little guy & tell him how much your glad he's here.

    Sometimes it's the only thing that keeps me from breaking down.

    I hope this helps?
