Still making my way through book 5, but I've got books 6 and 7 in hand :D
Yeah, the whole miscarriage thing really broke me. I'm a weeper, but it's unusual even for me to have tears streaming down my face while reading a book. But having experienced that grief, I really felt that one in my bones. I had tears streaming down my face as Claire told the story of saying goodbye to Faith.
I did it again when I read the part with Jamie's moonlight Gaelic confession to his infant niece; we never find out for sure what he was saying, but my personal headcanon is that it was all the things that he never got to say to Faith, because he never got a goodbye like Claire did. You can tell that it's one of the great sorrows in his life, that he never even saw her.
