I imagine myself in a cage, huddled in the corner, tears slowly slipping down my cheeks.
Perhaps I am in the zoo or a museum.
A little girl walks by with her mother, points a chubby finger at me and asks, "Why is that woman crying, Mommy?"
Her mother pauses, reads the sign in front of my cage and sadly shakes her head. "Something awful happened to that woman."
"What happened, Mommy? What was so awful?"
"Hope died."
"Who is Hope, Mommy?"
"Not who, Sweetheart, hope is a what. It is the most important feeling to a woman and when it dies. . . Well, there is nothing left."
13 DPO. BFN.
Hope has died.

Oh, Katie, I am SO sorry. That sucks.
Oh katie I'm so sorry.
And I know you're tired of hoping right now. So I'll carry that hope for you until you're ready.
Oh sweetie, I am so sorry! Know we are thinking about you.
Katie, I'm am so sorry. I agree with Polka Dot though, please know that there are lots of us who will carry hope for you. You are in my thoughts today.
I am so sorry. I'll keep hope in my heart for you, too.
(((hugs)))
I'm sorry. :( This sucks.
I'm with the rest of us .. We will carry your hope .. and your heavy heart. Katie - I am shedding tears for you today!
Oh Katie, I feel for you, girlie. Hope is the most important thing...but unfulfilled hopes can create that unbearable ache that overpowers everything else.
Add me to the list of commenters who will help carry that hope for you until you are ready.
Crap...so sorry Katie. Hope hides very well, and sometimes it seems she will never show her face.
I am thinking of you...
Oh no, I am so very sorry to hear your news. Grieving for your pain . . .
I am so sorry, Katie! Your heart is always big enough for all of us and I hope you can my feel mine reaching out to you today!!
What the hell? This is so UNFAIR.
I'm so pissed off. We're young, healthy and smart. Why is this our problem? Why???? Why can't we be parents? What is so awful about us? ARGH!

So, cocktails tonight? Yes?
*hugs* I will help carry your hope as long as you need. I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself and know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm sorry Katie. I'd like to write some different endings to our stories.
oh, i'm so sorry, katie. i was so hopeful for you and kristen this month. and i know it's hard to believe, but i think hope is capable of reincarnation... you just never know where, when, and in what form.
I am so sorry to hear that. I am just waiting as well until hope dies for another month.
Oh, Katie. I've been gone for a few days and just now caught up on your posts for the past 5 days...I'm sitting here crying for you...and for P.
I know Hope is gone right now...but it will come back. I don't know what it is about us IFs, but it always comes back. Hang in there until it does.
I'm so sorry, Katie.
Actually its two of us in that cage right now.
hugs!
Katie, I'm sooo sorry!
Katie I want to thank you for your words of support at my blog today, despite your own pain. It is a terribly crushing place to be, and I see from your profile that you have been in that place many times over. There are no words except that I hope this journey ends happily for you, and very soon.

Hon, I am so sorry. I'm a few days behind you, but hope left the building here, too.
On unrelated matters, I've emailed you about your x pol match, but I don't think I've heard back- just checking you've got the info or I'll resend .
xx
(And again, I'm so sorry)

Katie, I am so, so sorry. I didn't want to read this post from you today. I wanted to read a joyous post full of hope.
If you can't hope for yourself right now, Polka Dot is right-we will hope for you.
May you find comfort and peace and hope again, when you are ready for it.
I'm so, so sorry. I'm with Polka Dot and I'll be carrying the hope for you and sending you some positive energy vibes right now. HUGS.
My wish for you is instead of being dead, your hope is just in hibernation. It needs to sleep it off a little and gain some energy for next cycle when it can be ready to give you all the hope you need again.
Oh my sweet friend, I am so sorry that this was not the time for you. Please allow hope back in, when you are ready.
Katie, I am so so sorry. Words aren't enough to express it.
Thinking of you.
Oh Katie, I'm sorry Sweet Heart!! Big hugs!
