seriously?

I just looked up online about support groups in the Berwyn/Cicero area for pregnancy loss.
Nothing.
Am I the only one in the Berwyn/Cicero area, or any other Chicago suburb to suffer a miscarriage, EVER?
Anybody?
I hate this city.

This is my nightmare, welcome to it....

I mean that in a sarcastic way. I think. You've caught me in the throes of my bad season, or maybe at the end of it. I'm not sure yet. Bit of background for you.
On May 17, 2005, I miscarried my first child, a daughter, Riley Grace, at home. In our kitchen. I have no words for the kind of loss and loneliness I felt.
On May 17, 2006, I gave birth to a healthy little girl. Ella Rhiannon. She'll be three on Sunday. Her sister would've been four.
Welcome to the bad season. I'm not usually this short with my words, nor am I usually this sad.
Couple the fact that I am three days out from both my little girl's third birthday and the worst day of my life...AND the fact that a 'friend' told me "I can't wait until this Sunday is over...then you can start acting normal again," and you've got the exact reason for this blog.
Ugh.
