Hi Guys,
I gave you an update in October that we had found out that my wife Joy was pregnant with twins. Well, Joy hasn't been feeling "right" for about a week now and her trip to the doctor today confirmed our worst fears; both the babies have died in the womb. I would be a liar if I said we aren't grieving, and we have to go to the hospital first thing tomorrow for an induction and delivery, which will be very hard to bear to say the least.
In any event I felt it wouldn't be right to share the good news with you all, and then leave you in the dark about what had happened. I am still very grateful for the way you rejoiced with the rejoicing.
Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?
The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.

So sorry, Seagoon.

Seagoon,
I'm so very sorry to hear this. You and your family will be in our prayers.

My sympathies and my prayers are yours. I cannot imagine your grief, but I'm sure your faith is strong enough to hold you up. I hope your wife is coping ok.

lost our firstborn child at birth. She never got over it, and it basically broke the back of our relationship.
Don't let this happen to you and your lady! Grief is normal and right, but do whatever is necessary to move on from this personal loss, to a better tomorrow.
My condolences, I know how it hurts.
-
Very sorry to hear that Seagoon.

Thanks guys, my ISP connection went slightly nutty so I ended up with three versions of this. My apologies for the extra thread, this isn't something I wanted to make my first multiple.
-
Sad indeed. Very sorry to hear Seagoon.
Not sure if this means anything, but your faith is a blessing in this case. Many (myself among them) don't have the belief system you have and there are times when that kind of faith is enviable. I'm sure you will find the answers or the consolation you need from your church and your parishoners.
That, I would count as a blessing.

very sorry to hear that seagoon :(

I'm not religious and not very good at writing but be sure ,
you and your wife have all my sympathy.

Seagoon,
Though we may have differing views on certain things.
Just because I may not always agree with you does not mean I do not feel for you.
I have always had a great deal of respect for you.
I can recognise and respect Your views and feelings.
Thus I recognise and respect the grief you now feel.
And for that greif I would like to offer my most profound and sincere condolences to your wife and yourself for your loss.

Extremely saddened to hear this Seagoon. You've got my prayers, certainly.

Horrible news Andy...:(
Thoughts are with you and your family.
-
Sad to hear, Seagoon. We had 3 miscarriages before the first born came. Just another hurdle in life. Prayers with you and yours.
-
Don`t really know what to say Seagoon.
I feel your sorrow.
My youngest daughter went through this a few years ago.
Very sad thing indeed.
Mine and my wife`s deepest condolences.
-
Very sorry to hear this Seagoon. You and your wife are in our family's thoughts. As with a few others my wife and I went through something similar a few years back, although not twins.
The only way I was able to get past it was to be thankful for the two boys we already had at the time and love them as much as possible.
A year and a half later we had our baby girl.
-
=(
sorry to hear that Seagoon.
-
I'm not big believer in these type of threads, but I really do understand your loss...we lost our first baby about 2 years ago, and my wife is 28 weeks into carrying twins on our second successful attempt...just be there for each other and I'm sure you'll both be stronger because of it

Sorry man.
I hope the grief you, and your wife feel is healed soon.

I am so sorry to hear this Seagoon.
You and you wife have my condolences.
My youngest just turned 8 months today. My wife’s water broke at 25 weeks and the odds of having a healthy child were dismal. My wife was in the hospital, drugged up on “don’t come now” meds for a month. I spent a month worrying myself sick and reading about all the ways that an early delivery can go bad. Now, our daughter is healthy and developmentally fine, against all odds. Without modern medicine, my wife would have died too. I now find myself sweating out other family’s pregnancies like I never did before. I’ve always appreciated children (I’m a teacher after all), but now I marvel them in a new light.
It’s really too bad that such good people like yourself and your wife aren’t exempt from natural tragedies. Childbirth is always such a crapshoot.

Goon,
We don't know each other, but please accept condolences and sympathies from me and mine. I can barely imagine the suffering and grief. But, I do firmly believe that the little souls merely changed their mind on the timing, and will most assuredly be back to you soon.
FWIW, I am most sincerely sorry for your loss.
Respectfully...HilDvl

Hi All,
Just got back from the hospital today, and had my first chance to read through the thread and some of the PMs I received. I want to thank you all very much for your condolences, support, and advice. The past three days were simply awful in so many senses, including one point when my wife passed out from blood loss, collapsed, and stopped breathing for a few seconds. The nurse actually hit the code button, and suddenly the entire hospital was in our room. Guiness doesn't actually list things like this, but I may have set the record for the fastest coherent prayer every prayed. Someday, I might share more, but I'm a little on the exhausted side at this point.
We have been blessed not only by the internet response, but in that we have so many members in our congregation who have been helping us to bear this particular burden. Literally, for the past three days, I didn't once have to worry about our three children. This has been a time of leaning heavily on grace for us. As I shared with someone else in a PM, I have once again had an opportunity to learn what God meant when he said to Paul in the midst of his own time of adversity, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
Thanks again,
SEAGOON

Just a quick note Andy. Hard to put into words but I'll try. The loss that you and your wife are expierencing has crossed many borders. The Korean Methodist Church here and in Korea have you and Family in Prayer.
If there is anything more that I can do, please do not hesitate to ask. you have my home number and you can call collect at any given hour.
In thought as in Prayers,
Mac

Wow,
Thank God for modern medicine and thank God you live in a country that provides it. 100 years ago you, and I and probably many others would be widowers. My prayers go out for a speedy physical and mental recovery.

Very sorry to hear that seagoon, i hope ur wife is ok.
-
That is sad news indeed, hope you 2 are willing to try again despite the pain now. and when the day comes that she gives birth you got good waves from me.
-
Thanks again to everyone who sent prayers and messages of condolence. My wife is feeling a lot better physically, so I'm working a half-day today. I have to say that as far as being "mom" goes, she's a lot better at it than I. One of the many ways that good has come out of a time of saddness is in appreciating once again just how blessed I am to have a good "helpmeet" and how useless I'd be at trying to be both mum and dad to my children.
Yup, we'll be trying again in the fullness of time, so godwilling, I hope someday to be once again able to share some excellent news with you.
Grace and Peace to you all,
Andy

Seagoon:
All differences aside, I hope you'll accept my sincere best wishes for yourself and your family in what must be a terribly difficult time.
I genuinely hope you find strength and comfort in your faith.
Perhaps you'll forgive me if, despite my posts elsewhere on these boards, I offer up the few words from the Bible which have stuck with me.
Faith, hope, love. These three abide. But the greatest of these, is love.
