Not meant to be

I've come to realize there are many things in life that are not meant to be. I have heard these 4 words more than I'd like to, and more than ever in the last 2 weeks. And I've actaully said these 4 words a lot lately. But the reality is I HATE these 4 words! I wish this statement didn't exsist. Plain and simple it makes me sad.

19 days ago I found out I was pregnant. I had a miscarriage 2 days later. For 2 days I finally felt like I was moving forward, maybe even healed just a little bit. It took me a very long time to be able to try and have another child. I have never felt ready to take this step until about a year ago.  When I stood in the bathroom in the very early morning hours and realized what was happening my heart broke all over again, excatly what I was afraid of. What we have been trying so hard for was now gone. In that moment I said to myself this just wasn't meant to be.

This is a lonely place to be. I feel broken. I feel incredibly sad. Most of all I feel terribly afraid to try again, because maybe having more children is just not meant to be......
