I wander around aimlessly these days. But I know this will take time, though it doesn't make things any easier.

Still, others have suffered too. My heart aches for Monkfan's friend who lost his daughter in a house fire, or BleedBurgundy who, with his wife, had waited for the right time to have their baby and lost theirs too.

Our pregnancy was a surprise and I took it for granted. Now I know I won't next time and as scared I am about the next time I know we're ready.

I'll start responding in the locker room again soon. I have some thoughts and insights

I'm so sorry man. I can't imagine. It will take time but things we return to normal for you. You won't forget but it won't hurt as much. Here's hoping those days come sooner than later. Prayers.
