[@esthers5772]

It feels weird to “like” this video, but of course it’s just to show support. I am so sorry to hear of your pain and loss. I haven’t suffered your particular type of loss, but I lost my husband suddenly last September. We had so many plans. All I can say is it takes time to heal. Don’t make hasty life decisions. Take time for yourselves.

[@NewstateNomads]

Oh, Esther. Sending you so much love too. Suffering such a loss and the grief that follows is so incredibly hard, but you're right. Taking time to focus on healing is so important. We are sending you lots of positivity and love as you navigate your loss, too. Thank you for sharing. Big hugs ❤ -Katelyn

[@bpetrie68]

My husband and I didn't get pregnant for a long time. BUT, we were given a gift that entered our lives on Father's Day, and now she is about to turn 16 next month. I was a geriatric Mom too at the age of 38. I wish you the best.

[@peacefulwife5199]

A loss like this takes a while....trust me. Take all the time you need to grieve. Don't let anyone tell you differently. ❤ Thank you for the awareness you are creating for others trying to have a family.😊

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so much ❤ We are definitely taking the time & space we need to heal. And you're so welcome! It can be such a challenging journey, but certainly one that no one should have to walk alone!

[@garycissna7154]

I know that we've never met but you both have been on my heart today. You are in my prayers. I really miss you guys on KZbin. Take care of yourselves.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Our hearts go out to you! We wish you all the best as you take time to heal. Just hold each other and your community will be here when you are ready to create your next journey.

[@annjimenez5712]

Love and hugs to you both.❤️. I went thru a miscarriage at 35. I was “high risk” because of my age. The hardest thing is the fact no one knows what to say. The silence was hard. It’s good you’re talking about it. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@NewstateNomads]

Oh Ann, hugs to you too! It's such a difficult thing and I agree... no one knows what to say and that's why we're hoping to shed light on what is sadly such a common occurrence. Thank you for sharing your story with us too. 💕-Katelyn

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

I don’t know if this is encouraging, but I had a miscarriage at 35 and after a few months of trying I was pregnant with our first daughter. Then the same thing happened to me at 37, a miscarriage and another daughter. Both of them were healthy, so even at a later age there is hope!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so much for sharing that! Stories like yours definitely give us hope. We're staying positive for whatever the future holds. ❤ -Katelyn

[@sandras1524]

Scout was being so comforting to you.

[@johnc3225]

I’m sorry to hear about your loss and ordeal that you are both going through. We love watching you and can feel the good in your both. So let me share our story. My wife and I, (then fiancée), got married a little earlier then we had planed to properly bring our child into this world. So we moved all of our wedding plans up, and had to shrink our dream wedding, lost a large deposit on a dream venue. Then we lost our pregnancy after 5 months, and we we’re devastated!. Then God covered our wounds and blessed us with 4 healthy children! Now we are expecting grandkids #4 & 5! All I can tell you both is hang in there. You definitely not alone. And good things happen to good people! God bless you both!

[@shannonalward217]

I can’t tell you how sorry I am. It’s so brave of you guys to share your story to help other people. This is a testament to your exemplary kindness and character. Keeping you guys in my prayers.

[@wyomingar]

Having gone through multiple miscarriages ourselves, we understand everything that you both might have gone through. What helped us during those times is to focus on our own well-being, let time heal the scars and watching your travel experiences around the world. We eventually had our beautiful son born in March. Just don't lose hope and I wish you both all the best.

[@ladikmk]

I am so very sorry for your losses Katelyn and Howard. The strength of the love that you have for each other will see you through the tears and heartbreak. You will heal, but it does take time and you will never forget the loss of what could have been. My Daughter turns 36 this Summer, but I had 3 miscarriages before her and then another miscarriage two years after her birth. I can vividly remember my OB telling me that if the pregnancy didn't proceed naturally, it just wasn’t meant to be. It didn’t make it hurt any less. Keeping you both in my prayers, and wherever you may travel, be safe and stay well.

[@peacefulwife5199]

Hello... I wanted to tell you that my prayers haven't stopped for both of you. I found out 2 weeks ago that my son and his wife are expecting now. She's 34 and doing all of the "high risk" things. They reside in the province of the Philippines. The free clinics are hot and miserable. They've decided private doctor and hospital is the way to go. I hope and pray healing and comfort is your daily blessing now. 🙏❤️

[@cindybrannan9618]

Be kind and patient with yourselves. YOU two come first. Sending you cyber love. May all you give to US come back hundred-fold. ❤

[@susanjohnson4518]

My niece lost a baby right after Christmas. It was devastating for her and all of us. This was going to be her first one as well. I’m so sorry to hear this. I will be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers. We have missed you so much. 🙏💜🙏

[@autumvaught2660]

I'm so sorry for the losses and the immensity of your physical and mental pain. As someone who had tried for 14 years to get pregnant without success, I understand a small pinch of what you're going through. I appreciate your willingness to share but know that your physical, mental and relational health should always come first. We will all be here waiting for you both whenever you're ready. Lifting up prayers for you both.❤❤❤

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so much, Autum. 💕So sorry to hear that you've struggled in a similar way. It can be such a difficult journey. And yes, I'll definitely be taking the time necessary to heal. So very important! ❤ -Katelyn

[@edschermerhorn5415]

Heart broken, but remembering my life from 1996-2000. My late first wife and I experienced 4 pregnancy losses (miscarriage, full term still birth, and 2 more miscarriages) before our son was born. Both of you continue to take care, watch for the milestones to come and stir up more emotions! When the time comes for you..I can only imagine they have learned even more than what we experienced to help sustain a pregnancy. (She took specific hormones for the entire first trimester…not for the faint of heart)

[@edschermerhorn5415]

I will add…because of my history: I know longer just assume every pregnancy = happiness and a baby. The miracle of life is just made that much more precious to me…

[@yiselbat]

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. It’s never easy but I am witness of my sister’s journey. She spent 5 years trying and had two miscarriages due to her blood type and this year we welcomed the miracle. She never went through any fertility treatment just one day had her prayer answered. Baby is super healthy and if you never lose hope and continuously seek God, he will provide the path.

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

Thank you for your openness on this very painful experience! I have two children, of five pregnancies. The attachment and love we immediately feel once we see that positive test is tremendous. Then the grief and the questions, as you mentioned, are difficult. It's unfortunate that it is a common occurrence. I am so thankful every day for my son's, now adults. Praying for your journey to parenthood. Do not lose hope. Parenthood will come in due time, in the way it's meant to be.

[@pgirl9406]

I love how your sweet dogger was comforting you…dogs are so special…

[@danettehead7353]

I'm so sorry you have gone through this I too have been there but then I was blessed with twins. I know in some way your family will expand keep faith in that. ❣️ Also I LOVE how scout was giving you kisses dog's know when you need comforting. Sending you love and prayers 💞

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so much for sharing that, Danette! Hearing success stories like yours definitely gives us hope. Scout, Piper and Ella have been the best through it all. They really do have so much intuition! It's amazing. ❤ -Katelyn

[@alnolan8574]

My niece went through three miscarriages and finally went through IVF and she is 42 .She finally conceived and has 6 month olds girl.

[@acceleratedmoderation7348]

Words feel so weak and inadequate when trying to comfort some during a difficult time. Please know you are in our prayers. Please keep the faith and positive attitude.

[@carolynknisely2383]

Thank you for honoring us by sharing something so difficult. Prayers, love, hugs, prayers and more!!!!

[@NewstateNomads]

Aww, Carolyn! Thank you so much. We've always pledged to ourselves and this community that we want to show the ups and downs. We're thankful we have a platform to be able to shed light on such a difficult, but sadly common issue. We appreciate your love and support so much! ❤ -Katelyn

[@soniakolesar6703]

I’m so sorry you have been through such a traumatic experience not once but twice, my thoughts and prayers are with you both 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

Hearing you speak of the sickness..my first son, I was mildly nauseous the entire pregnancy, only violently so when I smelled raw meat. Then my third miscarriage a couple years later followed immediately by my last pregnancy, y youngest son. His brother was two. I was so incredibly tired from the second he was conceived. And so violently sick.at 9 weeks I was hospitalized because of dehydration. Thankfully, as soon as I started the second trimester though, I felt an incredible! I'm praying for you both. May you be blessed with the family of your dreams!

[@angelandkiki856]

SO, SO sorry. Both of you take this time heal. Sending hugs 🤗 & kisses 😘

[@darlenekeene755]

Take time to heal. Those of us who care understand.

[@ag4169]

Thanks for sharing your story:) you guys are my favorite KZbinrs; prayers for your recovery, take the time you need, God Bless!:)

[@NewstateNomads]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much. ❤ Certainly not necessary, but greatly appreciated. 💕 And thank you for the kind words! This community is amazing and we are very much looking forward to getting back to doing what we love!! -Katelyn

[@karlamartins2761]

Thank you for your real story! I am so sorry you both went through this. You two have a very strong marriage. My husband and I struggled with fertility for 10 years but were never able to conceive. I was a teacher for 35 years and just retired and we travel now often. We still have a full life. God bless you both.

[@johnsherwood5102]

Our heart breaks for you. We experienced similar problems and had a beautiful in vitro baby girl 27 years ago after much struggle. She currently is having the exact same heart break you are experiencing. We relate and feel for you young lady. Please keep at it and continue on. My daughter is in the exact same situation as you are. Dr John Sherwood Falcon, Colorado

[@jasonmann2001]

Thank y’all for telling your story as I’m sure that was very difficult to share. There are many you will touch with your vulnerability. Take as much time as you need, your loyal subscribers will be waiting many adventures to come. 🙏

[@michellekorn3693]

So sorry for your loss. You are right that no one talks about this. I had four miscarriages and there wasn’t the support I needed. The internet was fairly new and I had no idea how to seek out others that had been through similar things. The waiting is the hardest! I wish you all the best. Keep up your positive attitude but make sure to grieve. No one understands unless they have been through it. Those babies were and always will be part of your heart.

[@susanjohnson4518]

I am sorry to hear of this. You both have my sincere heartfelt condolences. My oldest niece (she’s 30)had a miscarriage last year after Christmas. She has been trying and no luck. I wish I was younger (48) and healthier I would carry a baby for her and her boyfriend. They have been together for 4 years. It has been just as hard on them like you. Once again you have my heartfelt condolences. Hugs to you both (((❤️)))

[@lindao1327]

I’m so sorry this happened to you. The most important thing which you did was to talk about your loss. I’m a new subscriber and had to watch this as I suffered miscarriage in 1983. No one talked then about it. I’m so glad nowadays people like you are sharing your story. Wishing you all the very best in the future. ❤

[@lynnfields2191]

My husband and I enjoy watching your adventures regularly and we certainly noticed your absence. You are the ages of our children and it is exciting to see you going out and exploring the world. That being said, we know you have lives apart from the videos you share with us. We send our condolences for your losses and prayers for complete recovery for you both.

[@davidgreenlees8120]

We just watched your story about your miscarriages. We are so, so sorry that you've been through this ordeal. But thank you for bringing the subject into the open. Some of us (men) think its no big deal...easy, right? Get pregnant, have a few minor issues and then out comes the baby. Not so for 25%, according to the information you showed. Wow! What an eye-opener! We wish you well for not only for physical healing but mental healing as well. Thank you for being so open. We love you guys (y'all).

[@laurahykes9206]

I am a new subscriber, just saw this. My heart breaks for both of you. Prayers 🙏🙏🙏 and hugs. RIP to both of your Sweet Angels

[@edrumsas5420]

Wow. So sorry for you both. Take your time - if starting a family is the priority- just pause and take care of yourselves. Reconciling what you planned for to what you want. YT will be here - stop a listen to your hearts. If that mean coming off the road- so be it. Hugs

[@susankaterman211]

I just watched your video about your miscarriages and I just wanted to say how sorry I am. 3 years ago my daughter and son-in-law decided it was time to have a baby and went through numerous miscarriages and a year of REI care before they were able to conceive and carry their little one to full term. She is now two years old and the apple of our eyes. I have been a labor and delivery nurse for over 40 years and I cannot blithely say that everything will be okay. Sometimes it's not. What I can say is the doctors and the medicines have progressed to a point that there's a lot of Hope. Please remember that the two of you are more important than anyone else. You need to cry when you need to, laugh when you can and continue on in whichever way you feel is best for you. I look forward to seeing you in future videos but mostly I just hope that the two of you can proceed to a place of peace and happiness in your lives.

[@adrianavina8058]

Thanks for sharing guys.. You deserve the best, stay strong.. Hugs!!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much, Adriana! ♥️

[@debbiericketts8406]

Thank you for sharing your story. My daughter went through something very similar. She was considered a high risk during her last pregnancy. She did have a baby later on. I will keep you in my prayers.

[@KU9L]

Know that you both have guardian angels to guide your destiny regarding travels and family. These special helpers don't need names and don't have religion themselves, but they are highly familiar with your journey of life and tirelessly work to guide you through prior agreements before your birth to fulfill your contract of this life. Most of their guidance is subliminal, so when times get tough, pause, feel, reflect, and listen often. Travel well, my friends, you are Loved.

[@tarotableguidance]

Hello from New Orleans! I live next to your dad and she told me about your channel. I'm loving the content and wishing you the best

my heart goes out to you both. it will take time to heal. I went threw this. God has been my strength. all the best to you both.

[@djensen9864]

This episode exemplifies why we all follow you and care about you. You are so genuine, so honest, so lovable. No bias, no tricks, no sales- just heart. I'm happy you have each other. All the best in the coming days, months and years.

[@marychristie6194]

We lost our first child at 26 weeks-A little baby girl Anna Elizabeth-One of the worst times of our lives -Thanks be to God, we were blessed with two beautiful children a son and another daughter who are now all grown up -But I will never forget that grief and 32 years later I still miss Anna everyday-You will be in my prayers ❤️🙏🏻

[@dianabergeron7499]

I’m so sorry that all that happened, but I’m a firm believer it was for unknown reasons. Keep the faith and it’ll happen when you least expect it. Everyone’s body is different. Love your videos and great job on keeping everything real. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@donnap4703]

I haven’t watched your video yet but my heart breaks for you. I have been there. I need quiet time to watch. There is a lot of support. Always here to talk.

[@sarawithnoh9989]

I had 4 miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy. I also have 3 beautiful children that I’m so grateful for everyday. Miscarriage heartbreaking to experience. My heart goes out to you!

[@cindyolson-712]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I pray for your recovery back to a full and wonderful life. Safe travels.❤

[@wandadruhan9935]

My daughter had a miscarriage between my grandsons. It was devastating to the whole family. It was so hard as a Mom watching my daughter go through that. Thank you for sharing, it needs to be talked about more. All women’s issues need to be talked about more.

[@lauramartin4899]

I lost 2 babies between my 1st baby and and little one, it was devastating and ypu are lucky that your husband is there with you... because my ex husband was not... that is why he is an EX now. God bless you both! 🤎

[@jackiehenits5239]

I am so sorry for your losses. Give your body time to heal before you start again. I have enjoyed your videos and am looking forward to your journey. Good luck!

[@kenvalliere7906]

Having only started watching your videos in the last couple of months I've grown to love y'all. Your content is perfect for destination research, and teaching us how to boondock. Your chemistry comes through in every video. This video breaks my heart. I pray for your healing and recovery from this. Thanks for doing this video, and showing us the good and bad. Sending love for you both.

[@anythinggoes8672]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had my own experience of miscarriage for our supposedly 2nd child but same with you it was not meant to be for us and so it was a very painful and unforgettable experience but we have to get thru it no matter what and as fast at we can because we still had our first child who need us to be her parents. After 3 years I beg my husband to try again for one last time and now we have one more bundle of joy. Life is though but keep your faith and you will be bless at the right time. Please take care and God bless you both!!!

[@stevenr7003]

I;m glad to see your back I've knew something must be wrong. My wife had several miscarriages before she got pregnant with our son. I can't know everything a woman goes through with this, but from a mans side you want to help, make it all better, make everything right in the world and you can't. Howard all you can do is to be there for Kaitlin, listen when she wants to talk, and give hugs lots of hugs in the end the med.s held, talking helps but love is what gets you through it all!

[@sharonpalma6134]

You two are amazing. ❤. I just discovered your channel when planning a trip to Nova Scotia. I’m so sorry for all that you’ve been through, and I want to share a slightly different experience. Back when I was in my mid 30s I experienced a “spontaneous” miscarriage like yours, then a while later I also experienced what they called a “blighted” pregnancy like yours. After allowing my body to heal, I once again became pregnant and this time I made it to just over five months. Sadly and devastatingly, my body rejected this one as well, and after much soul searching I decided I couldn’t emotionally handle trying again, even if it could work physically. At this point I was 36 years old. I’m now 69 years old and I want to let you know that if you end up not being able to have a family, the world does not end. We have had an amazing life together so far, and now that we’re both retired we and Roadie, our one year old Golden Retriever, are just going to be getting into the RV life this spring. Your adventures are a huge inspiration for us. So please stay positive and know in your hearts that whatever happens, it was meant to be. Sending big hugs!

[@bluebaybonaire-boatrentals7191]

We are following you from out of the Caribbean and we would wish you al the best. We were shocked to hear all this. We missed you but understand now why. Terrible news to hear, but again all the best from Walter and Liezeth out of Bonaire. Dutch Caribbean

[@scottalexander3935]

Sorry that I haven't seen this post until now. Thank you for sharing your very personal story. You are so correct that these tragic experiences change us in profound ways. It's great that you are working on your relationship and giving yourselves time and space. You two are a very special couple and we enjoy your posts so much. We all can grow through (and because of) our struggles. You are not alone. God bless you!

[@ginaharrismaus4568]

Prayers for you both as you move forward in whatever direction you decide to go. No words suffice so prayer will have to do.

[@kylepifer9509]

I’m so sorry 😢. Every woman I know has been a geriatric mother. Enjoy your travels.

[@Bsargentnoble1]

What a courageous response to this breathtakingly difficult situation! It is so generous of you to share your experience for the benefit of others who may be having or had the same experience. You’ve given a genuine gift to all of us. Thank you.

[@melindamalamoco9016]

I am sitting at my work bench sobbing trying to type this. I am so sorry, my heart grieves for you. I was never given the opportunity to have children, but so many of my friends have suffered through your pain. This may sound weird, but I am so proud of you through this process. Your commitment to transparency, to your marriage, and to your future is awesome to see. I pray that you will be comforted as you grieve, process, and God willing, grow your precious family. We are rooting for you! 💕🙏🏻💕

[@bonniedewilde710]

you might know tom and Sheri from Enjoy the Journey, check out their video 3 months ago on PTSD, it might help? Love you both, take care of each other, stay strong.

[@michellelaitinen2527]

One day at a time, one step at at time. I lost twins between my 3rd and 4th child. It just takes time. Allow yourselves to grieve.

[@williamsnider2833]

No matter what it happens it will be OK, I had to learn that from my life trials....

[@pglen6042]

I keep checking on you, hoping you will be back. Miss you. (June 10)

[@jomcfarland3118]

I cant imagine what you've been through. My prayers are with you both.

[@jomcfarland3118]

I never had the experience of losing a pregnancy, but our family suffered a terrible trauma. I can tell you that things do get better. Sometimes it seems like you can't handle one more thing, but you find a way. Like you, we had incredible support from friends and family. These experiences don't go away, but they become part of your story and you learn to coexist with something you never wanted. I wish all the best for you as you heal.

[@chrism.4544]

My aunt had one. My maternal grandmother did as well. many never talk about it so perhaps there were more.

[@janicehart5397]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my first pregnancy, and went on to have a beautiful baby boy. Prayers that you two get good news soon.

[@wagnerock_1220]

I saw this video come up right when we had our 3rd miscarriage and only watched it just now, this is so close to our own experience. I actually haven't seen anyone go through it this closely, it's like looking in a mirror, thanks for the moment of shared humanity.

[@jamesgordon470]

Irene and I will be praying for you two. Our one suggestion to you is get copies of everything brfore you leave. Irene was a radiation Oncologist M.D. for 43 years before we retired. We have been to physicians and/or Emergency Rooms in probably 10 states in the last 11 years. We NEVER leave until we have copies of results from ALL the tests, scans and exams we had done. We have one file for leer for each of us with nothing but printouts and CDs of scans that we take with us on the road. If you are already doing that, that’s great. If not, you should consider it. Thanks for being so courageous to share this with those that need it. Katelyn a geriatric !!? That’s a hoot. WhileI do know what you mean, it was still funny to hear (sorry). You 2 are the only ones that will determine how this effects your relationship - use your wills to assure it doesn’t. Just flat make up your minds to refuse to allow it. God bless you both.

[@flynnstone7454]

So sorry guys. Each one is hard. My wife had four of them, but she also gave birth to 4 wonderful boys. But there are moments of mourning still, even 30+ years later. It will be a part of your story forever. But enjoy whatever you are given, whether it's eventually children or other experiences. Try not to ruminate too long on the losses. It will crush you. I love that you guys are positive and thankful and supportive of each other. And you bless so many others along the way. Maybe get back to travelling for awhile again? Rooting for you!!!

[@kathyjoslin1361]

Thank you for sharing. I can’t imagine how hard this has been for you. We have all been praying for you and we will continue. ❤️

[@kristinaschmit8009]

Thanks for sharing- 💗 I had a miscarriage too, I learned that it’s Sooo common. One friend had 2 before having FIVE live births. You’ll be good. 💪🏼 What is meant to be, will be.

[@doncanaday6406]

God bless you both! Keep on truckin and keep the positive mind set!

Forgot to tell you....as a ray of hope...we had Devon when my wife was 39 yo.....and she is a beautiful 27 yo woman Dr John Sherwood Falcon, Colorado

[@chuckweinberg]

Thank you so much for sharing. Never met or talked to you and really just started watching you a few weeks ago as we’re going to southern Italy in a couple of months and you both are super easy to watch and listen to. I hope and pray that God blesses you with babies in His good time. I agree that it’s very cathartic to talk and share these types of things. Our son, when he was 17, was 40 mins without his own pulse and my wife was the first responder. He’s great now and has 3 kids and getting his doctorate this week but in the moment it was really hard. I started writing and 750 posts later…And lastly, these hard times make us who we are and make us “better” people in many ways. Sorry for your loss and there are brighter days ahead for you. Blessings.

[@heathermayorga4283]

I'm watching and crying. When I was a young wife I had 4 miscarriages. It was devastating and I was deeply grieving for a very long time. Our marriage has survived almost 35yrs now. We did end up adopting 3 children and also had a successful pregnancy. What you are going through is life changing,but we have ended up creating a very happy family and you will too. One day you look back and remember these times,but they won't cause the ache that you feel now. Sending you both so much love from someone who knows 💕

[@katrreenna5430]

I'm so sorry to hear that this is the medical issue you all have been dealing with. I kept checking back every week for your videos because I miss them so much, but I hope you take all the time you need. I know how you feel as I myself had 3 miscarriages, then had to take meds to abort a 4th due to it being eptopic. I feel lucky that they were all within the 1st 8 weeks and did not require surgery. The worst was the 3rd one where a heartbeat was detected earlier than they can usually hear it, the doctor telling us that he was 99% sure everything would be ok, then to start bleeding a few days later. I'm happy whenever people want to talk about this topic as I had no idea until my first one how many women do have miscarriages. I had tons of women I knew telling me their stories and even men tell me about their wives. So thank you for being so open with all of us strangers. I do so hope things get better and that you get the happy ending you desire. Sending you lots of thoughts of love!

I experienced many miscarriages before I started taking prednisone for Lupus and we discovered a fibroid exactly where an IUD would be placed, so that was removed. I went through years of emotional pain. Every time I felt pregnant a week before my period was even due, so it seemed like every month was a miscarriage. Anyway, the prednisone made all the difference. I ended up having 2 biological children with issues at birth both times that put mine and the babies life in danger. But the are both in their mid 20's and living their lives healthy and happy. But for about 3 years of hell. The thing that got me was the reaction of the other nurses I worked with, many asked, "What did you do?" As if I had some how caused the miscarriages. Yeah, the guilt was heaped on me, and as you know, miscarriages are common and happen just because something is wrong and I didn't do anything to cause the miscarriages. I empathize with your loss and how hard it is for you to experiences the challenges in treatments to get medical help. Stay strong, talk with professionals, grieve. If you stay depressed, get treatment for postpartum depression. I suffered postpartum depression after my 2nd miscarriage and I needed to be put on an antidepressant and went through therapy with a miscarriage specialist. So take care of your mental health. I'm here if you need someone that doesn't know you, that went through it and you need to talk to.

Thank you for being so frank and honest.

I am so incredibly sorry you are going through this. I know the pain of miscarriage too well. I have 2 beautiful kids who are grown adults now but I will never forget my little one that I lost. She was just a ball of cells but I knew in my heart that she was a girl. I celebrate her on her due date every year. She would have been 16 on 9/11/21. I know she is watching over us and we will see her some day. I really missed you guys and I’m so glad everything is ok. Howard thank you so so much for helping our friends get their instagram back during this time. You have no idea how much that meant to them. Thank you so much. God bless you and I’ll be praying for both of you!

So sorry to hear of your losses. I had two boys very young and decided 8 yrs later, age 29 to have another. I too had a miscarriage, 5 months later we were blessed with a daughter. 39 years ago now and we didn't talk about it. That was the worse. So glad that you two are sharing all that needs to be with each other. ❤️

[@cashstt716]

So sorry this has been such a difficult time for you both......thank you for sharing......since you guys have not been posting videos my elderly mom has been texting me constantly to see if I had any updates on the challenges you were facing. I think it is safe to say that over 33K people are praying for you and hoping things turn out the best way possible.

[@debrahelmkamp2021]

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. So devastating. My daughter went through the same thing. Was so difficult to go through. She now has 2 beautiful children. Prayers for healing.

My aunt 32 years ago had 2 miscarriages, then ended up having 3 of my cousins. Not twins, separately over 6 years. So what you are going thru is common. My wife and I tried for years and couldn’t due to Endometriosis. So I am glad to see your doing well. I know your sad but it will work out. The people across the street they too had one, they are trying. So don’t stop trying. That’s the best part! Great video!

My first pregnancy went full term and in a couple of days I had a still born. I feel your pain. I ended up over the years to have three normal kids. God watch over you. I too felt better talking about it on a road of recovery. Love you guys.My mom had several miscarriages and my oldest daughter had a premie that died after a few months.

We are so sorry to hear what you both are going through. The strength it takes not not only go through this experience but to share it is tremendous. Sharing this story is so helpful to all the people feeling alone since it’s a taboo discussion topic. Keeping you both in our thoughts ❤️

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so very much! It's always scary to share something so personal, but we both felt passionate about shedding light on the issue. That is our sincere hope! We appreciate the love and support!! 💕-Katelyn
