So frustrated with my family!!! My dad and uncle have decided NOT to have any kind of memorial service or funeral for my grandmother. They are cremating her today and my uncle and his wife are spreading her ashes in a park. I'm hurt and upset and feel so left out. I was too young to attend my mom's parents funerals and when my dad's father passed away (I was closest to him) I lived too far away to attend (my dad didn't even go). My mom says we need to respect the way my father and his brother do things, she doesn't agree either.

hi all!

When you sent the IV packet, did you write the case# on all originals docs?? Do we have to do that?? And how many pictures we have to send?? Plesae Reply!!

Also, I confirmed with two NVC operators that we can send the AOS and IV packet to the new address even though the cover sheet has the old address, but the new address where we have to send the docs is slightly different, so you wanna be careful. Again, I confirmed this address with two operators but you should double check before mailing anything

I've got some awful news that is really upsetting me......although I'm not sure this is the place for sharing it....I basically have no where else to go at the moment, and with Whidbey's terrible news....I feel even more awkward but I can't help myself as I am seriously very very sad at the moment and really need to share!

I had a miscarriage! I haven't told my inlaws yet, just my husband....we are both really upset because we were both so very excited about my being pregnant and this is the worst news for me!!! I don't know how or why it even happened...even the nurses at the hospital didn't say anything and my doctor doesnt have a clue other than...try again...thats all she said. All that happened was that I was feeling really lethargic and fatigued all morning and after checking our forum here and giving my condolences to whidbey for her recent loss I decided to take a nap for a bit. When I woke up I felt really odd and was having really strong stomach cramps....like menstrual cramps but about 10 times worse and I looked at my clothes and everything, even the bed and my shirt and pants had blood stains on them...I miscarried in my pants for no apparent reason at all and I'm really upset and want to know how come even though we were doing so much to care and were seeing my doctor regularly and everything seemed really good and normal......so why???

I'm so upset I don't know what to do. I can't talk to anyone yet.....just my husband.....but still I just don't know what to do. I feel like the worst thing in my world has gone and happened without any warning signs so that I could have at least tried to prevent it. We were stupid to have gotten so excited about my being pregnant...even though my husband says not to think like that.....thats how i feel. Of course he says to keep trying and nothing is lost......but how would he know....I'm the one that lost something, and even though it was way too early I was beginning to feel so mother-like...so...pregnant.

I just had to rant!!! I'm sorry......this just sucks really badly for me. I'll probably feel better in a day or two......since this is new for me it hurts more. I'm just really confused is all....why cant my stupid doctor tell me anything!!!! JEEZ!

and on top of all that...just got the checklist in my email and it's not only requesting the finacial docs...it also says that since my husbands police certificate has a30 day expiration on it they require that he will need to take another police certificate with him to interview...I also just called and spoke to an operator who confirmed this. So I'm a bit upset about it too......but thank god I dont have to mail anything to anyone......phew.

So sorry for you loss. I too miscarried my first pregnancy without warning. The doctors said that it is God's way of taking care of a problem early on. He also told me there is nothing you could do to prevent it. It if is going to happen it will happen. Keep your chin up and please know that now I have two wonderful children so things WILL get better.
