I was tuning in for Tuesday Night Beauty and heard Pat say "Our thoughts and prayers are with Shawn who will be back Sept. 2"---did I miss something? Pat seemed sweet and not overly concerned, but I was wondering about the "prayer" part...

She posted on facebook that she was pregnant and had a miscarriage at 5 mos. So terribly sad for her & her family. She does need our prayers. Smiley Sad

Oh my gosh---that happened to me years ago... I feel so bad for her. I don't read the blogs, and had no idea, although I did think she was pregnant.

Wishing her the best...

And what the heck is going on with this board...took me three tries for post to go through and then did not have access to the board for a long while....maybe it's the weather...

I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy. My prayers go out to her.

It might be nice for all to simply wish Shawn well instead of lobbing recriminations at one another. When it gets right down to it, as far as her announcement, all Shawn had to say to address her seemingly unplanned and protracted absence was that she was experiencing a non-life threatening health issue. That would more than likely have quelled the incessant inquiries. It wasn't incumbent on her to share anything she didn't want to share...

I wasn't watching TNB, and wasn't aware of the speculation. But I'm sorry to hear of anybody going through that. :-( I wish her healing, and I think if she felt like those on her FB were "friends" she wanted to confide in, she'll appreciate the support and caring.

ETA: I just read her blog, and so I'd better amend my opinion that she'll appreciate an outpouring of caring and concern. Please go read it so you don't inadvertently make it even tougher on her. :-(

ETA again: Not talking to you, Kate, just more of a PSA. :-)

I have been through a similar twice and know the last thing Shawn needs right now are comments from anyone ; the only things she needs are prayers, encouragement, and positive comments. Best to say nothing at all if you can't.

I didn't read the blog yet (trying to find it!) but I just assumed that she would not want the constant "I'm so sorry Shawn" posts. When this happens to a woman, most need to deal with it privately and it makes it much harder to deal with it when you are inundated with sorry for your loss posts. I know people mean well (well, some {#emotions_dlg.glare}) but just don't. At least that is my personal experience and those of people close to me.
