This story is exceotional. So beautifully written and so heart-breaking.
I've been in a similar situation, though I was the one who had children and watched while my sister tried and tried. She and her husband went through everything you have described above.
Congratulations on writing this. It isn't soppy and it isn't angst ridden, but honest and truthful. I feel so bad for your Ron and Hermione. |

First let me say that this is well written. It would be easy for you to
just play on the natural emotions that the subject matter stirs but you
avoided that. The way you described the emotions of the characters drew
me in to the point where felt helpless just reading and wanted to be
able to reach out and do something.
I look forward (?) to reading the second part.

| Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It was absolutely essential I not let the emotions take control of the story, but it wasn't easy, I can tell you that. Part two, I can assure you, is not quite as heavy as this part, though I make no promises about a happy ending.

A close friend of my mother's has gone through a similar thing year in and year out, and I know it's heartbreaking for her and many women. My mother had two miscarriages; my grandmother gave birth to her first baby knowing that it was stillborn. This definitely struck a chord with me. I only hope it isn't something I have to experience first-hand. Wonderful job depicting the emotions of all involved. It's difficult but a positive thing, I think, that fanfiction is used as a forum for the more serious subjects in life.
Despite the sombreness of this, however, I'm going to wish a you a Happy Christmas anyway! |

Thank you for taking the time to write such a personal and heartfelt review. I've heard from many women (and a few men) who've faced similar struggles as Ron and Hermione do in this story, and all of them -- and now you as well -- have touched me deeply with the way they've felt compelled to open up about what is a profoundly personal issue. I'm so honored to hear that my story moved you.
A belated merry Christmas to you as well!

So there will never be a baby? Never? Unless they want a 'defected' baby? Or a premature one?
Well that was very well written, despite the fact that it was very sad... |

| You'll have to read the next part to see what happens. There are a variety of choices for couples faced with this sort of situation, and not all of them involve taking the sort of risks Hermione and Ron are faced with. Thanks for taking the time to review.

This
is a really great story. I have family of my own who have been
through this situation and that pain can only be imagined. You
did a great job of exuding this part of real life through the HP
venue. It's interesting how messages can be conveyed today.
Peace be with you. And keep on writing.

There are no words to describe this. I cried so hard and my heart still aches. Your ability to capture that much sorrow is amazing and heart wrenching. |

| Oh, I'm so sorry I made you cry. I promise the next part won't be quite so hard to read.

I want to express through my tears just how incredibly moving your first chapter was. It was so real that it actually leaves me aching inside. It was true and painfully beautiful. Can't wait for the final chapter. |
| Monday 26th December 2005 20:42 | Empty Womb, Empty Room (Author Response) |
| Yikes. Thank you, but I'm sorry for causing you such distress. The next bit isn't quite so wrenching, I promise.

| You definitely hit the nail on its head... This is almost scary in its realism. What's even scarier - the worst is yet to come. Excellent piece of work. |
| Monday 26th December 2005 20:41 | Empty Womb, Empty Room (Author Response) |
| Thank you so much. Realism was what I was most interested in achieving, so thank you for the affirmation.
