Infertile and full of grief

I'm still struggling with finding happiness in this life anymore. I can't concentrate, find no pleasure in anything, don't want to see friends, have no interest in socializing. I don't find pleasure where I used to, and it's an unbalanced feeling. When will this change for me? I thought maybe if I were to get pregnant again. But no, we're not to be so lucky this month.

We just learned this morning that our 1 embryo tested abnormal, so the cycle has ended. So have my chances of conceiving until the next cycle, which is mid-January. Although I've tried to prepare myself all week, it still comes as a crushing blow. There was a tiny flicker of hope in the back of my mind, that burned even when I knew the chances were slim. Infertility combined with the loss of my infant daughter is a crushing combination and I don't know how people get through this. Waiting and waiting, trying again, waiting and waiting, only to be disappointed over and over again. And I get older every day.

I miss Kara every single day. Her beautiful little face brings me to tears - I have a difficult time looking at her pictures without losing myself and falling into the pit. Last night, my husband told me he cares about nothing anymore and if he could lay down next to her and just die, he would happily do so. Sadly, I feel the same way every minute of every day. It's a battle just to find the will to live every day. I don't know how long I have to live like this.

I am so sorry. I found your site through the babyloss directory and I had to write to you. My daughter passed away June 8th 2008 and I too had a birthday in that month like you. My birthday was June 16th, the day before my daughters viewing at the funeral home. I am feeling all of the same feelings you are, feel free to check out my blog. I am so sorry your baby girl is in heaven, please send me a meesage through my comments on my blog (I wish they had an instant messanger thing on here) I am feeling the exact same way you are, as I was reading your blog I thought I was reading my own. Please feel free to contact me. I will lend an ear if you want to talk, cry or vent. http://notalwaysclevergirl.blogspot.com/
