Why is it so Hard?

This was my entry for the Scraptathlon - Last Goodbye Challenge

I was having a really hard time deciding what to do for this challenge until I overheard some people talking yesterday. One of the women had clearly just had a miscarriage and another, in what I am sure was a genuine attempt to comfort her, said, "It's better this way, there must have been something wrong with it. At least you didn't have to wait until it was born to find out." It was amazing how fast this brought me back to all the stupid things people said to me when I had my miscarriage. I am not trying to equate this loss with the much more profound losses that many people have suffered, but I am constantly amazed by the way people treat women who've miscarried.


I had always wanted to do a page about the baby I lost, but I didn't want to put it in the middle of our family album. This challenge inspired me to do the LO for my BOM. I don't have anything to remember this baby except an angel pendant that has the baby's birthstone. I don't want to forget what this baby meant to me.

The tag contains a handwritten letter to the baby I lost.
