Families who have lost a child far too soon!

 Please say a extra prayer and light a candle for the families out there who have lost a baby whether it be to miscarriage, SIDS, etc or even for families who have lost a child far too soon. Today at 7:00 p.m. all over the world people were lighting candles for 1 hour to honor their child or children who were taken far too soon. May we remember this day and try to help each other and be there for each other and let each other know how much we think and remember our loved ones that we have lost!

Dear Joya,

Thank you for reminding us of the heartache families suffer, when a child is lost so early in life. Thank you your compassion!
There are previous posts, where mothers shared with us their grief. Those who lost a baby through miscarriage needed someone to validate their grief. No matter how early in pregnancy, the loss is real and needs to be grieved, something that is not always understood by family and friends.

All families who lose a child during pregnancy or after need our compassion and support.
I'll light a candle for them in the ALL group.

Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

I will light a candle too.

Thank you Joya, for your message.
The pain of losing a child never completely goes away, but for me, although it nearly destroyed me at the time, over the years it has softened my heart.
I will light a candle for my own lost child, and for other mothers whose children were taken . . .
with much love . . .

Dear Jude, Eddna & Sparrow,
Thanks for posting to my blog. I really appreciate the sweet words. I recently joined a baby-loss forum that has been so helpful to me. I think that most people don't think that women who loose babies due to miscarriage or give birth to babies who "are born sleeping" grieve. I lost 2 babies due to miscarriage,1 baby was 10 years ago and the other 1 was 11 years ago and to this day I still miss my forever babies. Till I joined the forum, I had no idea that I had so many hurt feelings locked inside me. Sparrow, my heart goes out to you and all the other woman who have lost babies, no matter what the case, whether to miscarriage or to other causes of death. A baby is sill a baby and still was a part of you. Even though that I have gone on to have other children, I still miss and grieve for my "forever babies".

Adding my prayers for everyone who knows such pain, including my niece Beth.
Namaste

Dear Joya, what a lovely phrase, "Forever babies."
 
Yes, I think you are right when you say people who haven't had the experience don't understand that it is a loss just like any other.
 
Love, Jude

Dear Joya and Sparrow,

I join you in grieving for babies lost through miscarriage. My second child, a girl I think, would be 33 years now. As you express it so well, Sparrow, losing her has softened my heart, too. Today I feel grateful for having felt the joy of looking forward to giving birth to her.

Juliana

Dear all,
I haven't lost a child, but my daughter did in early pregnancy and I'm thinking of her just now.
Also I think about my Sister Winifred who I never knew. She was a twin to my eldest Sister and died soon after birth. My Mother hardly ever mentioned her, but must have grieved for the little girl she never saw grow up, and my Sister also, who can only now, 70 odd years later, talk freely about her.
 
Bless them all, Jude

Love is the only way

Glenys, my deepest sympathy to your niece. Please let her know that she is in my thoughts and prayers.

Juliana, my deepest sympathy goes out to you in the loss of your daughter. I know that it has been 33 years ago, but I know the pain still is there and I know you have to miss her so very much. I don't think the pain ever goes away. I think you just have to somewhat learn to cope with it huh? I really think that the thing that bothered me the most is that I didn't get a chance to bond with my babies or even name them because I didn't know what gender they were. My 1st baby that I lost was more formed and had more detail. My second one bothered me but not as mucn as my 1st, I guess because I had already been through it once before. The baby lodd forum that I have joined has so many of the sweetest people on there that have been through some of the things that we have been through. They have lost a child due to miscarriage, SIDS, and other causes. Y'all are welcome to check it out. It has been a blessing to me and I know that it could be for you too. Here's the address:http://lifeafterdeath.forumup.co.uk Feel Free to log on and share you story if you feel able. If you don't want to share your story that's fine too. Sometimes just hearing from other parents that have been through the same things you have been through can help so much! Thanks for sharing your story with us.
