I just gave birth to a beautifuly baby boy only he wasn’t alive because I was only five months long and let me tell you a simple I am thinking about you can go a long way. I miss him so much but I know he is still with me.

hey jodi:

i came over here to tell you how much mia and i appreciated the valentine and now i’m crying. and that’s the way life is, i guess. major swings from happy to sad, from glee to grief. you know that we grapple with that over here a lot but i must say that i agree with everyone else … be a good friend (which i know that you are), be there for her, that’s all you can do.

You are good people and we all need to have the support of good people when the meaning of everything you have ever hoped for is in question…

Most pain is private pain. And the hardest cut of all is when you have to travel that valley alone. Co-workers or friends or whatnot… it’s good to have allies in this world of 6 billion strangers. Not at my most eloquent here I know..sorry…

I agree with what everyone’s said already.

Work is such a strange environment. People do or don’t notice/do or don’t care about things like haircuts, new glasses, etc. From day to day, you can completely change your view on who these people are and what they mean to you.

But in a case such as this where you feel something strongly, and for a person you feel strongly about, absolutely, tell her your thoughts. Take a chance; she’ll remember you cared.

Let her know she and her husband are in your thoughts. We lost a baby too after a lot of infertility treatment. Co-workers can be amazing in the support they give us, sometimes I think we’re with them to overcome certain things and to learn things as well. They are what we miss when we do our work from a computer screen at home. Send her a card reflecting your feelings or a copy of what you’ve written here. The love and compassion of others help through the hard times, make sure you share. Sometimes silence isn’t golden, it can be selfish…even without intending to be.
