I'd never heard of a Suffering Bastard before, but I just googled it and it looks delicious.
So very much ~ma to your sister, Cash. I had an early MC right before Matilda, and I remember the day of spotting and uncertainty before I could go to the doctor and find out for certain one way or the other as utterly miserable.

It is so yummy and fruity that you can drink it right down as if there is no alcohol in it at all, when of course there is a ton.
After 3 miscarriages it was emotional torture getting through the first trimester. Much ~ma for your sister, Cash.
Off to look up a Suffering Bastard...
I didn't realize how many buffistas had suffered miscarriages. I'm so sorry for all of you.
Erin, thank you for the sheet suggestions. He is a hot sleeper, so I don't think they're for him. But I might like a set! I love my flannel sheets.
KBD and I just had some friends over, and now we're watching Fight Club. I did my holiday cards earlier (there's still time if you want one!) and I have my parents' Hanukah gifts to wrap before tomorrow night. Just one gift left to buy and I know what I'm getting.
Echoing what everyone else in the been there, done that crowd has said that all you can do is be there and listen. There's no advice you can really give, you know? Nothing you can do, and no way to change things.
Thanks all for the ~ma, especially WindSparrow, Laura, sj, and Shir. I really appreciate it. An update: the wedding went off, mostly without a hitch, and was just beautiful. I mostly was able to compartmentalize, and mostly to have a good time. Now, I've been in my hotel doing a combination of centering, working on my cousin's virtual memorial, and weeping; this, too, is good.
I cannot say how important it was for me to have someone I could tell about this, and how valuable your support is. Thank you all.
