Steve.
My thought would be to write April a note and let her know you feel a huge loss as well. I think the other advice is true. It is so painful to lose a child and she may need space but at the same time needs to know you are there.
Take care and I am praying for you.

Dear Steve,
I am sorry it has taken so long for me to write. I have been praying and I just don't even have any idea what to say to you. I think, to me, I would want to know that you felt as devastated and empty and as sad as she is. Your baby, though it wasn't around for long, brought great joy and hope to your lives. April probably feels alone in her pain and may not know that you feel the same. One thing about great pain or great joy, people can relate to a degree, but only you are feeling the intensity.
I wish I knew what to say or that something I did could help, but all I can do is pray. We all care for you here and I think about you and April a lot. Please message us and let us know if there is anything we can do.

Hi Steve..I want to also extend my deepest sadness for you. I know nothing any of us say really can touch the depressing moment you are in. I must say you are handling it better than I think I would. Try and be strong. I believe the ladies are correct. She is feeling a great loss and you are part of it. As hard as it may be give her space and if it supposed to heal it will. If not remember how strong you are and we are here for you. mark

Oh, Steve, I am so sorry. You must be hurting so much, too. Please understand that right now, she doesn't see your pain. She is associating you with the loss, so seeing you makes it hurt more. She doesn't understand that it is your loss, too. Give her some time and some space. Just let her know that when she's ready, to call you. She has to heal. Losing a baby, to most women, is the worst that could ever happen. I know it is horrible for the father, too, but most women can't see past their own pain, in the beginning. Please know we are there for you. Just giver her some time and give yourself some time, too. It will get easier as time goes on. But it is going to hurt for a while. Be patient and try to go on with your daily life. We are here if you want to talk.

Steve, ((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))) to you my friend. You mentioned that last Friday April lost the baby...I am so sorry to hear that. If I am not being too nosey was it her decision to move out after the loss of the baby? Did she decide this before her loss?Maybe she needed this time to be alone. Losing a child can be devestating. I lost a son so I know. I am a true believer in time healing all wounds. If things are meant to be ,they will mend back. I know I am talking out of my head but............" Been there done that" I believe in putting all things in Gods hands or whomever you believe in. Please stay strong and I will pray for everything to turn out the right way.
((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) again and

Welcome Back Diane,
Everyone has wondered what happened to you as the post that you were leaving was so long ago. Every night when I pray I wonder if everything was okay... if YOU were okay. Thank you for posting!
Jesi wrote that the December boards are quiet and sadly it is true. I really can't think of anything to post but I absolutely look forward to Lorraine and Nona's posts! (Jesi!!!! You don't post enough...and Sunny either!)
Please keep in touch!

Hello Diane!
What a brave soul you are! I can't imagine what the folks there in LA went through. I have lived through a hurricane in New England, an earthquake in CA and a tornado in TX. But none of it was as horrible as what they went through. You are such a kind, giving person to go there and give of yourself until you drop. I couldn't do it. I don't have the stamina.
You mentioned low blood sugar. I have it and here is what helps me. I buy low carb protein chips and keep them handy, or South Beach Diet Meal Replacement bars or their cereal bars. High protein, low carb, low fat. And they taste pretty good, too.
Glad you're back, safe and sound.
