Looking for other Moms/Dads out there who have
"lost" a baby to an umbilical cord cord accident - or
some other unforseen and incomprehensible tragedy.
Our beautiful baby boy died a few hours before he
was born on Thursday, June 14th.
We are so sad.
I don't know anyone that has been in that situation, but Iam so sorry
to hear that. I know that you don't feel like hearing this but everything
happens for a reason even bad things . God has a lot instore for you and you will be blessed .
First off, I am so, so sorry that you lost your precious little one...
My hope for you is that you have been referred to a support group that is geared towards parents who have lost their children during or shortly after birth...They are out there; even the maternity ward should be able to assist you in finding one...
In the meantime, however, please stay connected to the people in your life who are closest to you, and know that our hearts are heavy with and for you...
I wished I hadn't clicked on this thread. But since I did, my first child was still born. My wife was 9 1/2 months pregnant and the placenta disrupted (not quite sure if that is the most accurate way to put it).
The worst thing that ever happened in my life.
2 months later we found out my wife was pregnant again with my daughter.
Extreme pain turned into happiness and fear.
My daughter is now 8, the only child I have.
Her name is similar to the one we gave our son.
I thank God for giving me my daughter.
You will get thru this. It can take years, it can take weeks. You don't know what tomorrow brings, and look forward to what life has in store for you.
I don't think there is anything worse than outliving your own child.
I blame myself to this day.
But then again, if it wasn't for what happened, my daughter would probably not be here and be as wonderful as she is.
My wife wrote a wonderful poem back then and I will see if I can find it online.
We have been seperated for 5 years and don't communicate well about this, otherwise I would ask her to find it for me.
To be continued ...
I couldn't find it, instead all kind of stuff came up googling my wife's name.
Here is however a wonderful poem I came accross years ago and want to share it with you.
Brings me to tears as we speak:
Quote:
My Child’s Child
This beautiful woman, this vision you see
She is my daughter, a mother-to-be.
She was so happy her dreams had come true
Her life was just right, she was pregnant with you.
She took care of herself, she really did glow
She did everything so you’d properly grow.
But something went wrong; all her hopes were shattered
You weren’t going to live and nothing else mattered..
Now my child’s in pain, it shows in her eyes
But that is what happens when a loved baby dies.
My heart breaks for her for I know what she’ll miss
Laughter and hugs and your first baby kiss.
No reading of stories and no Dr. Suess
No counting your toes, no Old Mother Goose
No singing of songs, no soft lullabies
But that is what happens when a loved baby dies.
No watching you sleep, no smelling sweet skin
My arms are so empty my sweet Kristi Lyn
No seeing the world through new baby eyes
But that is what happens when a loved baby dies.
In time the pain will subside and she’ll no longer cry
But that is what happens - but why did you die?
No child was more cherished or wanted than you
And I want you to know that Grammy loves you too.
My faith has been shaken, were my prayers only lies?
But that is what happens when a loved baby dies
She’s a childless mother this daughter of mine
But still so courageous, thoughtful and kind.
For what I would have done without her for all these years
And what will she do without you? The thought brings on tears
But God in His wisdom wanted you with Him
My sweet baby; angel, my dear Kristi Lyn
The hurting will cease, the healing will start
You’re on my mind, always in my heart
The time has come to say my goodbyes
and that is what happens when a loved baby dies.
