Loosing a child

😔 I’m so sorry. And just so you know, You don’t have to be strong

Ohhh I am so sorry for your loss, it's unimaginable!

Thank you for your encouragement Candace. It’s going to be hard days for me and some good days. I just just have to keep my head up.

Yes it is unimaginable I just wish this was all a dream.

Oh this is awful, I'm so sorry 😞. As Candyce said, you don't have to be strong xx

I lost my baby at 39+2 last June, if you need someone to speak to please feel free to message me. You don’t have to stay strong. Sometimes we need to break down and let it all out c

I will definitely message you KAS when I get out of the Hospital.

Hope you’re doing aswell as you possibly can be 💕 make sure to look after yourself

Sending you a big hug mama. Josiah's life was meaningful and important. His life mattered. Grief is the price we pay for love. Grieve all that you need to. 🤍

So sorry, gotta be strong, God will help you heal❤️

I'm so sorry about your loss. Take things an hour at a time. This is devastating, but be compassionate to yourself and you will find a way to manage.

I so sorry. We lost our daughter at 22 weeks on Sept. 6th, 2023. I can relate a bit to your situation. Sending you much love and support ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss. (I hated hearing it from people, but look back with thanks to everyone who said it.) I lost 2 early on (2020 and 2022) and lost my baby girl Aurora at 19 weeks (She stopped growing around 13 +5) last year. It's devastating and soul crushing. Your son, Josiah, knew your love. From the second he was conceived, he knew you were his mother. Please know that if you need to talk, I'm here.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my daughter unexpectedly shortly after she was born. One of my biggest regrets was not taking more pictures (I didn’t think I’d want them at the time) there’s an organization called now you lay me down to sleep that has professional photographers that come to the hospital and take pictures and edit them for free. if you’re still in the hospital, you might want to consider that. Also I’d highly recommend getting a stuffed animal of some sort. I had really bad empty arm syndrome (I didn’t even know it was a thing until I lost my baby) my arm physically hurt so bad. I couldn’t sleep without holding her teddy bear. Feel free to reach out if you need someone to talk to. Again I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s a pain no parent should ever have to experience

I also second what Raechel said about the photos.. I took some on my phone but looking back I wish we got them done professionally. And also if you can, a hand/foot casting x

We are all here if you need us. Unfortunately, we’ve all been there. 😔 you are not alone and whatever you do, don’t be hard on yourself. Allow yourself to do and not do whatever you need to take care of your heart. It will definitely be a rollercoaster.

I got given a teddy bear at the NICU before my baby passed, and later placed the bear in my baby's casket. Up until her burial, I sang to that bear, spoke to that bear, danced with it, cried tears on it, took it out to the garden so it had sunshine on it, and so when I finally placed it in the casket next to my sweet girl, I felt that there was something of me with her that represented what I wanted my life with her to be like in her very final moments on earth. This is not for everyone, and not something I'd ever have imagined myself doing, and it certainly wasn't a big step forward, but it was something I could use to slightly and momentarily revive my spirits. I found it meant I was focusing less on why it had happened and focusing more on what I could do in the midst of the trauma.

I lost my son 5 weeks ago, he was 24+3. Grief is a rollercoaster, take each day one day at a time. If you want to talk, please feel free to message me x

I lost my daughter at 24+4 back in feb and I wish nothing more than it was all just a nightmare. I really hope you’re doing ok and holding up the best you can- it’s so hard 😢 but time makes it feel a little easier but it never goes.
