I recently received a link to a video from Tyrone Howard. I don't know Tyrone personally. He found me through my blog, and he sent me a copy of a short film he had done that he wanted my opinion on. He also hoped I would share it with my blog readers if I found it appropriate. "Unforeseen" was actyally designed to illustrate a life of second chances. However, Tyrone found that it was gathering good support amongst individuals who lost a child before he/she was born.
After watching the video, I can see why. While I have never experienced pregnancy loss, I do believe my history with infertility allows me to be a fair judge of the appropriateness of this video. I am asking my readers, especially those with a similar history to mine, to watch this video and help provide Tyrone with some feedback. Butbe forewarned that if you have faced pregnancy loss or even infertility, it may make you quite emotional. It is incredibly well done (in my opinion) and I believe very accurately portrays this difficult part of life. Please leave a comment that I can share with Tyrone -- either positive or negative. Here is the link to the video. We need more individuals opening up dialogue on this part of life, and I think Tyrone's video is worth your time.

Wow! Very emotional! I too have not experienced a pregnancy loss, but I think it's well done. It's great.
Very well done and I have experienced pregnancy loss. The distance, pain, and emptiness she feels are well portrayed. The husband trying to give her ice cream to make her happy because the father usually isn't sure what to do but wants "to fix" it. He wants her pain to go away. The anger and blame sometimes in the wrong place- perfect. When they are going to sleep and they are both crying- feeling separate pain yet they are together but not was well done. The fact that she wants to be left alone with her ice cream and TV. I'm glad that it ended well. Really well done! I could go on- but this brought back emotions and memories of my own experience.
I remember giving the old line "you don't know how this feels!" so many times. You feel alone and like no one else understands you (which is why HP was such a blessing). All of my losses were early so the late loss didn't apply, but the mourning that took place was still similar. I thought the film was done very well. Through my struggles of infertility there was that definite distance I felt with my husband, but yet it drew us closer.

Very touching and it brought tears to my eyes. I have lost a pregnancy and suffered through infertility. Her pain reached out to me and you do feel so alone. In the long run, the entire experience brought my husband and I closer together.
