update to the 'i feel so alone' post

i saw the patient personally in the clinic. she turned over a new leaf. her baby was doing fine, her bleeding had stopped, and she was going to try to start working again. she told me she had made a commitment to becoming a better mother than she had been, and had newfound strength in this little life growing inside of her. i reached out and gave her a big hug.

then... 5 days later. she miscarried.
