Who can describe the feel of a tiny hand that is never held?

Jess From "A little Blog about the Big Infertility" just posted this on her blog today, it is an excerpt from Laura Bush's book   It puts into word the emotions I am feeling right now.

The English language lacks the words to mourn an absence. For the loss of a parent, grandparent, spouse, child or friend, we have all manner of words and phrases, some helpful some not. Still we are conditioned to say something, even if it is only “I’m sorry for your loss.”

But for an absence, for someone who was never there at all, we are wordless to capture that particular emptiness. For those who deeply want children and are denied them, those missing babies hover like silent ephemeral shadows over their lives.
