Wife and I have been trying for kids for about a year now. We just suffered our 3rd miscarriage. The first was about 3 years ago when we were not trying and the last two have been in the last 4 months. We lost one about 7 weeks in 3 months ago...took some time off and tried again and yet another miscarriage.
Obviously my wife is devastated. She wants to be a mom more than anything in this world and as a man/husband we are programed to provide and give them what they need. During the process of helping her cope along with myself trying to stay strong for her I realized today that I haven't had time to grieve myself. I've found myself trying to stay busier than normal so my mind cant stay on this but honestly deep down I am just crushed for my wife. Work hasn't made this any easier lately either as I've had to put in tons of extra hours due to some staffing issues outside my control but I am ready for her and I to get away together for the Savannah trip coming up. Hopefully a little golf and pool time will do us some good.
For those wondering, we have seen a doctor and they put her on some medicine after the miscarriage earlier this year. We are both healthy, 32 years old and married now almost 7 years.
Anyone else gone through a similar situation before? How did you cope? Sorry for bringing this to a golf forum but this is just heavy on my mind and heart tonight.
