Warm Whispers
February 6, 2008
I’ve been listening to this song today, all day on repeat. It’s kinda therapeutic.
“Warm Whispers” - Missy Higgins
Your warm whispers
Out of the dark they carry my heart
Your warm whispers
Into the dawn they carry me through
And I’m weeping warm honey and milk
That you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
Your warm whispers
Letting me drown in a pool of you
Your warm whispers
Keeping the noise from breaking through
And I’m weeping warm honey and milk
That you stay surrounding me, surrounding me
Yeah I’m weeping warm honey and milk that you
Stay surrounding me, surrounding me
Honey stay surrounding me
I have a friend who is hurting so much right now, I can’t stop thinking about her & what she is going through. This friend had just found out a few weeks ago she was expecting, almost 3 months pregnant. Her first pregnancy after giving birth to a stillborn baby in 2006. Sunday night she started to miscarry. My heart breaks for her. I cannot even begin to imagine what she is going through. “She said to me today, it’s ok - I’ll get through this. It’s better now than 6 months from now.” Maybe that sounds harsh, but I can understand what she means. She asked me “Why do crackheads get to have healthy babies, meanwhile there are so many women that are great women, that can’t ?” What do you say to do that? There is nothing you can say, that’s what. She said “Maybe God is punishing me for all my mistakes when I was younger, all the loosers I dated, the failed relationships, how horrible I was to my mom” No…… no. I don’t know for sure if there is a God - but I know if there was he wouldn’t punish us in such a horrible way. It sucks to say the least, I feel rotten for ever having a twinge of jealousy that it was her who got pregnant and not me. She’s a strong amazing woman. I have no doubt that she’ll get through this. But when does it end?

There is nothing I think that’s harder to go through for a woman than to lose a baby. I can’t even imagine that pain.

You’re a wonderful friend for carrying her grief for her. And she’s an amazing person for being able to say, “better now than 6 months from now.”

Qu33nbee - your right, I can’t imagine having a child growing inside of you and then one day it’s not there. It’s unfathomable to me.
Mel Heth - Thanks so much. That really means a lot, I just wish there was more that I could do. She is incredible for even managing to get up in the morning and face the day. It’s funny you don’t really know how strong you are until you are tested, I can’t begin to tell you how much I admire her.
