While that comment makes sense, I felt much less upset than my wife, and just had to be there for her. I had convinced myself that a “blighted ovum” was not a “real baby”, but had a harder time convincing my wife of that. She had everything that was like pregnancy, including awful contractions to try and eliminate that empty egg, which I could never possibly understand.

My wife took a hard hit, and it took her most of a year to recover, and then we tried again for 3 years, with no chance, and it was excruciating to see her down every fucking month. Then, when we got pregnant again, and it sticked, she felt better, and it passed for her for good. Meanwhile I was holding my breath for years. I'm still trying to recover from this loss, 7 years on. We have 2 beautiful, perfect, healthy twin girls. They're baby 2 and 3. We're so lucky with them... And they're quite the handful !... But I still think almost daily of the little one we lost. It's still very, very painful to me. Therapy and EMDR help, but man...
