My husband and I also lost our first child, a girl, we named Patricia...that was back in 1985. I have photos of her, a little hat that she wore and all of the cards that people sent after her stillbirth. We have two adult sons now. 23 and 20. <br /><br />I understand how you must feel. I can say that I probably felt that way too. I will be praying for and thinking of you and Dave and wish for your healing physically, emotionally and spiritually. Peace, Alida<br /><br />p.s. If you feel the need to talk to someone please let me know... I would be happy to listen.

Even when words are not enough, or when words fail, those words alone help me. So thank you for taking the time.<br /><br />Rachel, thank you for your beautiful story. I need to hear that we are not alone and I need to hear of happy endings. Dave and I feel propped up on them.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784946794675621661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778281578141174847.post-41454712661824669242010-05-25T04:46:01.756-07:002010-05-25T04:46:01.756-07:00Dear Kaki,

Hold on to your husband and family they will get you through this. <br />I hope you don't mind but I would like to share a story with you. January 2009 my fiance and I had just returned home from a fantastic new year celebration with his family. Early on the morning of 7th January the phone rang early in the morning - one of those phone calls that fills you with dread. The day before exactly 3 months before she was due my fiance's sister realised that her baby had stopped moving. Living in a very remote area she rushed with her husband to the local clinic hoping for good news. The clinic refused to give them a resolution either way but told them to head to the nearest hospital, 2 1/2 hours away through blizzard conditions. The hospital confirmed their worst fears their baby had died. The next day she gave birth to a beautiful little girl. They took photos and foot prints and hand prints and then said good bye in their own private ceremony. When they returned home they went on their favourite walk and in a secluded spot scattered her ashes. 3 months later on their due date they went back and planted wild flowers to mark the spot and laid an unmarked stone - they know where she is. <br />The only medical reason the doctors could find for the loss was that the cord was slightly thinned. Life at home was really hard she worked in a local shop, in a very small community so she had to tell people over and over that the baby was gone. She has said that talking about it helped and everytime she would go to the back room and cry a little less. <br />We all grieved for the life that should have been. The little girl and her pink outfits, the first steps and the ballet lessons and all the hopes and dreams that we had held for this little girl who wasn't to be. <br />End of January 2010 she gave birth to my nephew a beautiful healthy boy. She was induced early just in case and carefully monitored the whole way through. One day they will show him pictures of his sister, one day they will explain that she didn't survive, one day they will explain that life is cruel. Everyday they will tell him how special he is and how loved he is. Everyday they will be grateful for being his parents.<br />Life will feel at it's hardest at the moment - I can not even imagine. Embrace this time and surround yourself with love, it will get easier, it will become bearable, you will never forget her.<br />RachelSpare Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171269015090983067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778281578141174847.post-31710787700908376752010-05-24T18:51:23.963-07:002010-05-24T18:51:23.963-07:00My sincere, sincere sympathies.
