| Comments: | My son, Lucas, was born and died on February 14th, 2005. We were only 23 weeks into my pregnancy. I did not want the hospital to take him from me only to fill his beautiful body with needles and tubes. He lived for 6 hours and felt nothing but the love and warmth from his mother, father and his grandparents. I told him how loved he was, how beautiful he was, how I would never let him go as he died in my arms. I am not a religious person and wonder and worry about him everyday. I have two wonderful girls who are age 5 and 8. A day does not go by that they do not talk about their brother. They attended his funeral, one on either side of me. Lucas IS their brother despite the many people who believe the girls are too young to deal with such a loss. I do not believe them. My girls love their brother as much as they would if he were here in our arms. Lucas has taught us so much. His death is very bittersweet. I was lucky to have such a perfect soul live and grow inside my body and heart. This week I am 23 weeks pregnant with a new child. He/she will also have a brother named Lucas. I am haunted by all the blood and the confusion at the hospital. My doctor has reassured me, many times, that I have only a 3% chance that my placenta will detatch again. That should be enough to set my mind at ease but, it isn't. Lucas's death was so sudden and profound. I will never be the same again. I am left broken and numb. |

| Comments: | It is a very hard fact of life to lose a father, brother, grandparents, uncle, and know that others will follow before the next few years go by..
I only can do what is right and special for those who are alive and with me now.. I trust that the days will pass, but the memories will live on forever in the hearts of all of us who have lost a loved one. |
| Name: | Sheri Reed |
| Comments: | Thank-you! so much for your sight. I have also lost a
pregnancy, and a baby. The only thing is I don't have the support of a family. I am lucky to have four healthy lovely children, and when I lost the baby in my last pregnancy it was like a celebration for most people!! They all said that I had enough children and that the loss of this one shouldn't matter because I had four healthy ones. (Boy am I ever lucky!) I feel that I can't even mourn the loss of a real baby because I'm the lucky one. Don't feel bad atleast the you wont have to go through all the crying,and the dirty diapers! I guess nobody thought that I considered that I wonted this baby just as much as any of my other children, and would have done anything in the world to be a mother for a fifth time. Signed NOT ALLOWED TO MOURN BABYS DEATH!!!! |

| Comments: | Conner's page really touched my heart. I am so sorry for
your loss. I can't imagine what it'd be like to lose a baby. My son Kyle, was 5 1/2 years old when he died in a car accident. An airbag snapped his neck. If you know of anyone with children and they have airbag's please tell them about Kyle. I don't want anyone else feeling the loss that I have to feel everyday. June 27th was the fourth year without Kyle. I have another son Cody, who was 3 1/2 year's old at the time and remember's and misses his brother dearly. God bless all mother's with angel's!!! |

| Comments: | This is an absolutely beautiful website and so comforting.
It is so nice to know that all the feelings I have at the moment are 'normal' and part of the grieving process. I lost my twin boys, Luke and Ian at 23 weeks on 1 April this year. Baby Luke weighed 1lb 9oz and came out kicking and crying so I thought he may survive. Baby Ian came out 4 minutes later. The doctors tried to keep them alive but their lungs weren't developed enough. Luke lived for 45 minutes and Ian lived an hour. I held them and cuddled them and told them how much me and their Daddy loved them. The pain then was like a knife in my heart and it still is. These were to be my firstborn babies and I miss them and cry for them every day. This website is lovely. |

| Comments: | Thank you for such a comforting site..when I lost my son in
1992 someone from the Empty Arms foundation came to us and gave us some very helpful information. I have created a site in honor of my son. Who passes away at 2 weeks after being born 16 1/2 weeks premature...My heart goes out to all who have been in those same shoes. And I hope too that my site can bring someone some comfort..Thanks again. I would also like to have a memorial done for him on your site, when you get the time...Sincerely, Amanda (a mom of an ~ANGEL~) |

| Comments: | This was helpful except I tried to email kristen Pruit and
it would not accept it. Ijust recently experienced my 2nd loss Of a baby and I am feeling very lost myself and alone I could use any type of suport I can find. My first loss was in April of 1992 at 13 weeks And my 2nd loss was May 17th 2000. I tried to forget the first but it has only made this loss that much harder. I feel that I should not grive as I do have three beautiful girls between the two losses, but I miss the babys that are now angles I have trouble just functioning from day to day. I am a single mom and only have my girls for suport If you can help or know someone who can please Email me Heaven knowes I can use som suport. |

| Comments: | Thank you for your site. It has brought some comfort to
me. We lost our son Benjamin John at 33wks on May 8th because his cord was missing some of the jelly that protects the vessels and so his cord got twisted very tightly there. We are still quite numb. He has 2 big brothers that were looking forward to playing with him. Instead they had to say goodbye. As his due date(6-25) gets closer I seem to dwell on him more. thank you again. |

| Comments: | Thank you so very much for this absolutely beautiful site.
Conner has a playmate in Heaven. Jessica Hope was stillborn at 39 weeks on February 3, 2000. She weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz and was 22 inches long. She was my fourth child. Your words were so comforting to me, for I felt every one of them came directly from your heart. It is so unfortunate that your advice had to come from experience, an experience that you did not choose to be part of. Once, again, thank you so much for all the comfort and hope that I gleaned from all of your work. Tara |

| Comments: | What a beautiful site you have here. As I read it, my
daughter was drawn to the background pictures of the babies. She caressed the screan & said, "Pretty Baby Angels." Her innocence and presence made me weep while I read these stories. I wish I could win the lottery and contribute money to this site--for, I cannot contribute anything else but my prayers and thoughts. The page that you wrote about the things people say to grieving parents struck me. The one thing I have learned is that grief does not come in 5 tiny steps--it is unpredictable & contains no logic. My prayers & love go up to these angels & their parent. |

| Comments: | I lost a set of quadruplets on April 15, 1999 at 23weeks
gestation. It was a tough pregnancy and I was hospitalized 4times with hyperemesis (nausea and vomitting and dehydration). I went into the hospital at 18weeks and had every illness related to a multiple pregnancy. I lost one baby (Allison) inutero the day before. My uterus was infected and to avoid dying the doctors had to induce me and deliver all the babies. Ashley, Adam, Abbey and Allison were born. Abbey had a heartbeat for approx. 30min. The babies couldn't survive at only 23weeks gestation. It's really hard dealing with this, I feel like it's my fault because I was so sick. All I wanted is to protect my babies and I tried so hard, but it didn't work. I believe they are in heaven watching over me and my husband, I just hope they know I tried everything to protect them. |

| Comments: | I really don't know what to say... I am so thankful that
places like this are out there, but the pain I feel that knowing so many familys whoes babys are in heaven and not here were we wish the could be. My only consulation is knowing that Gabriel is safe and warm and happy and that he has what we could not give him, a whole healty heart. I will always be thankful to him for changing our lives in the best posible way. He will forever be with us, in our hearts and in many small ways in our everyday lives. Thank you so much for providing a safe heaven for grief and hope. God bless to all...Melinda |

| Comments: | I love this site. I miscarried my daughter, Emmalee, on
January 15, 1999 at 16 weeks. Then, about 5 weeks later, I found out that I was pregnant again. On August 30, 1999, I had my daughter, Angelina, about 5 weeks early. Your site really helped my get through my miscarriage and the thought that I might lose my newest angel. I'm happy to report that Angel is doing great and is almost at the right weight for her age. Thank you so much for putting this website together. You really saved me during the hard times. Good luck and all my prayers, Christa |

| Comments: | Thank you for making the free memorials. I am new to the
computer world (3 weeks) and I am just amazed at the information available. I wish I would have had a computer after my daughter Faith died. I liked your "Another Baby" page, too. I had my daughter Winter on Feb. 13, 1999 and it did bring back a lot of my grief that I THOUGHT I had dealt with. Thank you for telling the truth about subsequent babies: it is best to wait awhile. |

| Comments: | HI Just saw your site and it's really nice. We lost a baby
in 97 from mrekel grueber syndrome, she is in a much sweeter place now, and just by the names on your pages she has plenty to play with. We too had another baby after her it by no means replaces her but it helped to ease the grief a little. I had her in november of 97 and in the end of Oct,98 we had Zack. I love Stepanie and think of her daily at least we got to hold her and love on her a little.And we know someday we will see her again. Tahnks for such a nice place to share. |

| Comments: | I lost my daughter, Sierra, a year ago in 1998 on
thanksgiving day. She was born 2 months premature because the blood in her umbilical cord actually started to flow away from her, she also only had one artery in her umbilical cord. She was alive for 5 months and 15 days. Unfortunately, we never got to bring her home. I didn't have anyone that I could really talk to who could really understand what I was talking about. Her daddy never wanted to talk about it, and he was the only one who could understand. When we got our computer a few months ago, I saw so many sites, including this one, about the loss of a child. Going through them has helped. These sights have helped me realize that I am not alone, and if I ever needed someone to talk to, I knew where to go. Your site has stuff about memoralizing, and I thought that was the best! I emailed you so that you could put my daughter in the memory angel book (sorry, I can't remember the name of it). I want to do everything that I can so that people know that my daughter lived, if only for a short time. She was so special to me and her daddy that I want to share her memory with anyone and everyone. I admire how she fought so long and hard, even though she didn't win the battle, she had a true spirit unlike any that I have ever know. Thank you. Your site has been helpful for me. Each day is getting a little easier, but with your site, I can look forward to seeing my daughter's memorial. Best of all, the whole world can see it and how much she means to me. Thank you for starting this site, it has meant a lot |

| Comments: | Thank you for your site - it was very helpful - I felt like
I was reading my life. It was comforting knowing these are "normal" feelings and daily occurrences (sp?). You've really done a great job. My first born son was born/died on 11-9-99 at 38 weeks and some days I feel that I am feeling worse instead of better. What an empty feeling it is never being able to hold him or teach him or watch him grow. I will always love him and will hold that to me forever along with my memories of holding him in the hospital. |

| Comments: | Thank you for such a wonderful insight to the loss I
also feel, but for different reasons. We lost a son also but to the terrible and devistating disease of cancer. He was diagnosed at age 4 yr 11 mo. And fought a good battle that eventually he won heart and soul after 5 years. He too is with the angels and our Lord watching over us and hopefully smiling! I hope you do not mind my visiting your page eventhough we did not loose our son like you did yours. I still feel the loss the same way I imagine you do. Is there a web page like this for greiving parents of cancer that you know of? I am new to this whole computer thing and stumble upon most by accident. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again and God Bless you with all you are doing to help others with their grief. Sincerely, Sandy |

Thank you so much for these page and for the beautiful memorial for my little Santiago and Martina. I followed the link to the Holly Innocents and now their names are part of the Book of Life. It is of great comfort for me. Santiago and Martina were conceived by in vitro fertilization and they went to Heaven at 16 weeks due to a weak cervix. I love you my angels. I know you are playing with Niko in Heaven, wait for me. Thank you again Kelly, you are special. God bless you and your family. |

| Comments: | I found your website through mend. In Aug of 1998, I lost
my baby during my sixth month of pregnancy. They could not tell the reason. I had an amnio done in July and all the results came back okay. When I went to the Dr. Appt in Aug, the nurse could not find a heartbeat. Dec 1st was my due date so this is an anniversary for me! I should be celebrating a birthday. Instead I buried my daughter two days after she was delivered on Aug 26th. We named her Jenna Elizabeth. I have a daughter who is 14 now and I had always wanted more children. This was not to be. I found great comfort from a scripture someone sent me along with a little crystal lamp. The scripture is Is. 60: 19-20 which reads: "The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end." Maybe if someone can find the opportunity to pass this on to someone else hurting...let it be done in the memory of our little angels. I find by reading your guestbook and everyone's story that what I feel is no different than other mother's. That is comforting. I felt shocked when I was told Jenna was dead. I did not drink...smoke..do drugs..or anything that would harm my baby. I kept thinking I should have known something was wrong. In fact, I felt just the opposite. I felt that the baby was perfectly okay...I was told several times because of my age, I had a higher risk for Downs Syndrome, etc. And when Jenna was born, she was perfectly formed and the amnio showed there were no chromosonal abnormalities...there was no evident reason. I could not bring myself to have an autopsy done. I am shocked to find out so many families have been through something like this. You would think there would be some sort of effort made to discover a solution. It is sad to read some of the ones where the babies died so close due to cord accidents. Thank you for doing something. I have felt like I wanted to do something but did not know what to do. |

| Comments: | Hello,
I just wanted to say, that I think your sight is beautiful. And was wondering how I could start on of my own for my son. I lost my son at 18 1/2 weeks....he was 7in. and 5 oz. He was my first baby, and due to a weak cervix..I lost my precious angel. I would like to start a sight of my own, in memory of Michael Anthony. So that through my loss I might be able to help others! Thank you; Tiffany Marie |

| Comments: | Thank You for such a wonderful site Kelly. I found out
about this site through the chat room at Share. When my daughter Cassidy died I did not want to go to any support groups but I wanted to talk to other moms who had gone through the death of their child also and through these sites I am able to do this. I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless, Amy (mother of Cassidy Lynn) |

| Comments: | What a wonderful site you have, Kelly. I think it's great
you've made this place of support for parents after the loss of precious babies. I don't know that there's anything in life more difficult to deal with than the death of a child, and parents need all the support they can get. I want to thank you for your thoughtfulness in making the angel picture of my Jacob. It's absolutely beautiful. In loving memory of Conner, Jacob, and all the children gone too soon - we love you more than words could ever say. |

Just visited your site and thought I would sign in. What alot of work you have put into this webpage! I am very impressed. I am fairly clueless when it comes to the Internet, but you have obviously worked long and hard on this project. I'm sure it was therapeutic for you. I am going to be looking into your Christmas ornaments as I want to have something special on our Christmas tree to remember Amanda. Thanks, and we'll "chat" again. Carma |

| Comments: | My husband and I also lost our daughter. We named
her Olivia Christine. I was just starting my 6th month of pregnancy. She was born 12-3-97 and we lost her on 12-24-97. I couldn't believe that God would take her away on the same day that he was born. All I could ask was "why?" What did I do wrong. People who haven't lost a child will never know how we feel unless they have gone through it. Your site is wonderful and helpful. I cried as I read your site. You're right, people think you should just grieve for a few weeks and then "poof!" you should be over it. Well, it's just not that easy. I never will forget our "Little Christmas Angel". |

| Comments: | Kelly-What a wonderful site. It took me days to get
through it all. I am so glad there is a place for those of us that have had such a devasting loss. I really enjoyed the poems and hope you will get a lot more. I am one of your very greatful starfish. I'm sure Conner looks down at you every day with a huge smile just meant for his wonderful Mommy. Bless you and your family. |

| Comments: | I stumbled across this site from the Earth Angel Award
page. I have lost two sons to a disease called SMA or Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Devon was 13 months old and Sidney was only 16 weeks gestation. I host and do a website at www.our-sma-angels.com for any parent who has lost a child to SMA. (This page lists all the names, and each link goes to that child's site-which I also host and usually design.) Your site is excellent and I will be linking it to my main our-sma-angels site as soon as I get a free minute. It is amazing how many people were supportive of Devon's loss. When we lost Sidney only two months after Devon's death, it wasn't nearly as big a deal to people because Sidney had not lived more than a few breaths on birth. We held him, saw him on 4 ultrasounds, and loved and wanted him just as much. I'm just re-iterating that what your site said here about other people and grief is the truth! Well done. |

| Comments: | Dear Kelly,
I just wanted to let you know how much you have helped me. Six years ago when Hannah died, I never thought of doing some of the things that I have decided to do in the last two months since I found your web site. I now have a memorial for her (which I look at just about every day). I have planed to have a shelf built for her things So I can put them up and share her with others. In the last two months alot of things have changed and with your help I was able to handle it. To me this site is a God send, which makes you one too. Thanks Cari |

| Comments: | hi there, i just wanted to let you know how wonderful your site is... you little angel would be so proud..i also want to tell you that i think it is great making these memorials...i had a son at 24 weeks... he was still born..that is the hardest thing i think i've ever been through,,my situation was a strange one,,very rare,,he had no normal chromosomes,,none,,and they dont know why,,we have life insurance on our children but he was unborn so burial wasnt included on him..so after praying and talking with the staff at the university hospital where i delievered we chose to turn his body over to them for study..this was very hard for me but i had to make myself understand that was only a shell,, his soul was already at home w/ Jesus...nothing they did to that little 13 oz body could harm my little angel..and, if our son could help the doctors find answers to keep even one family from going through what we did, then our son wasnt not buried in vain..but since, i regret not having a memorial then, i was selfish, i felt i couldnt handle it, even if we hadve had the money. the only thing i have of my son is 2 polaroid pictures of him on a memorial certificate from the hospital, and 15 mintues of memory of holding his little body..i'm sorry, didnt mean to take so much space, thank you |

| Comments: | Dearest Kelly. Your site is marvelous. Of course we would
much rather there be no need for it. But unfortunately, the need is great. The URL above is NOT mine. It's a page that started as a Memorial to my grandson, to help my daughter cope with the loss of a full term baby. We will never know why it happened :( but we now have an angel watching over us. If you could add a memorial for baby Steven, we would be deeply grateful. Although since I made him one we might not be eligible. But I will be putting a link of your site on his page, so that perhaps other grieving parents might be directed to you. May you be blessed always dear friend. |

You have truely made a difference in so many peoples lives..including my own. You are a very special and talented woman.I know Conner is in Heaven looking down along with all of the Angels saying "Thats MY MOMMY!" You are 1 in a million..and I appreciate your being there for me in my times of need. This site you have created has come such a long way and is only getting better! I think it is safe to say that you are an Angel, sent from our precious little ones..to help us understand that we are not alone! Luv ya~Kristie |

| Comments: | Hi Kellly! I never had a chance to sign your guestbook but
I'm doing it now. I love your page and I am glad that Alyssa sent me here. You see, I just bought a computer recently and I decided to search the web for online support groups for child loss. I put a message on the Hygeia message board hoping that someone would reply and would want to talk about losses because my due date was coming up and I was very sad. I checked back everyday for about a week until I saw your message about your web page. I have visited it just about everyday just to see what new things you might have posted. You have helped me out with my loss. I was feeling very down because no one I knew had ever lost a child. I almost lost my second child during labor (I lost my first child at 10 weeks). She wasn't breathing when she came out, she was choking on her meconium and her cord was wrapped around her neck. All three pregnancies were also very hard on me. I don't think I am very good at bearing children and my doctor has advised me to not have anymore. This is difficult for me because I am still young (early 20's) and I would love to have lots more children. I was an only child and it was very lonely. I would just like to thank you for living you dream and Conner's dream and I hope that you will continue to help others as you have helped me. |

| Comments: | I was relieved to find this site via a web-support group.
It's a comfort to know that babies lost to miscarriage are honored and remembered, and I feel so much better knowing I'm not crazy for feeling the way I do after losing 2 miscarriages. Thanks to Kristen for writing her story, and to the others, too - it must be hard to bare your soul to everyone, but it sure helped me. |

| Comments: | This web site was very helpful to me. My son's one year
anniversary is approaching (Aug. 29) and I'm not sure how me and my husband are going to be that day. I wish he were here with us, but I know that I will see him again one day and will hold him again. Until then, I know he's safe in the arms of Jesus and that brings peace to my heart. |

| Comments: | This site is absolutely beautiful. (Even though I wish
there were no need for sites like this.) My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 7 years. (We have two great living kids, ages 10 and 15). During that 7 years, we had a miscarriage in 1995 at 9 weeks, a miscarriage in 1997 at 5 and 1/2 weeks, and a miscarriage in July 1999 of twin girls (IVF babies) at 9 and 1/2 weeks. This site is so helpful and I appreciate that each type of baby loss is represented. The miscarriage page by Kristen has been especially helpful. Linda |

| Comments: | This site is beautiful, thank you!My 1st loss was at7-8 wks.
(8/97) and I thought it was awful but I had a 1 1/2yr.old daughter to keep me going.I then had another daughter 1/1/99 & when she was just 6mos. we found out I was preg. again, 1wk. later we discovered I was 9wks along w/twins.We were so shocked & nervous but after a very short time we were so thrilled & excited. I figured this was God's way of making up my 1st loss.At 24wks. we found out they were boys & most likely ident. we couldn't be more excited,this would round out our family perfectly!Everything was great through every u/s & nst until my 33 1/2wk. when they couldn't find Jonah's heartbeat. I was alone because it was a routine test & my husband was home w/our daughters.I still had hope even after I couldn't see his hb on u/s but when my dr walked in I lost it, I knew if she was there I had lost one of my sons.We then discovered I was already 5cm. dilated so I would most likely be delivering that night(12/22/98). I was transferred to a hosp. w/NICU for my surviving son.Jonah was born 1st & I just kept waiting for his cry that never came hoping there had been a mistake, that my first son wasn't gone.My other son, Shylo is doing great but every time he gets sick I get so nervous that I'll lose him to.I'll never get over this pain, everytime I think I'm doing okay I get so depressed.I do my best to grieve but with a 4 1/2yr, 1 1/2yr, & 8mo old I don't get much time to myself.Everytime I look into his brothers face I know there should be two beautiful faces looking back at me not just one.Again, your site is great, keep up the good work. May God Bless All Our Little Angels!! -Heather |

| Comments: | This is a beautiful site that I found while visiting
the "Honored Babies" site. My closest friend, Karen, lost her baby, Morgan, shortly after her birth in February. Karen & I are tied together at the soul. She has no "real" family to speak of so we have become closer than sisters. We call ourselves "sisters-by-choice". I was there when Morgan died & held her while she was still warm. She was the most perfect, beautiful baby I've seen, next to her sister, Bailey. They couldv'e been twins. Due to errors that I can't speak of (lawsuit is pending), Morgan died when Karen's uterus ruptured, depriving that sweet child of oxygen. We will always love & miss this perfect little angel & take comfort in sites like yours. Karen doesn't have web access, but I print off pages for her to read so she can have the benefits of these pages that I have. Thanks again for your comforting words and caring thoughts. |

| Comments: | Thank you so much for your beautiful site. My son,
PaulThomas, was born on May 27,1999 and died six days later due to uterine rupture. He was born in full cardiac arrest and not breathing. I thank God every day for the six wonderful days I had to hold him, hug him, and kiss him. All mothers who have ever lost a child will forever more be in my prayers. |

| Comments: | Thank you so much for this wonderful site! It's so
comforting to read what others have gone through, to listen to the music playing and to cry. I lost my precious Madalyn 40 days after she was born, July 13th 1999. Everyday is a different experience, every minute I long to hold her one last time, and every second I wish I could erase that morning we lost her. I will forever be thankful to God that I got to be blessed by my angel. And I can't wait to see her again! |

| Comments: | My son Robert John was stillborn on June 1, 1999. I was 38
weeks pregnant. Preliminary results have not found what happened and I honestly don't believe we will ever find out what went wrong. He seemed to have been a beautiful healthy boy. This is the second child we lost. We lost a daughter, Tatiana Marie, three years ago. She was born with trisomy 18. I still can't believe this has happened twice and for two totally different reasons. The grief is just about killing me. The only thing that keeps me going is my two year old son Thomas. He is truly the light in my life. I want to have another baby but am so scared. I feel defective -- so many things have happened to me with my three babies that are statistically almost impossible. I am afraid of what else will happen. Oh ... to hold my babies. |

| Comments: | My sister recently wrote in the journal that we have to
write in when we need to talk to our Angel, Ceone Michelle. She wrote this little verse that she found in the newspaper and I wanted to share it. 'They say that memories are golden. Well, that may be true. But we never wanted memories, we only wanted you. If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane, We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.' I cry as I type that, it hurts alot to think about how true that is. I sign on to Kelly's website everyday, sometimes 2-3 times a day. I find incredible comfort here sharing my thoughts and feelings with all of you who know exactly where I am coming from and I love you all! |

| Comments: | I was given your web page from a friend who I had met at a
support group for people who have experienced an infant loss.I think what you are doing is wonderful, and will be a great comfort to many grieving parents. Our loss was in Jan.of 1998, and I still have some really hard days.Our son, Benjamin died when he was just 5 days old. When Benjamin was born, we thought we had a very healthy child,so his sudden illness,and death was quite a shock.I think what you are doing in memory of Connor is a wonderful tribute to him. |

| Comments: | You don't know how many times I've connected to this site
during the last few days. It seems as if I've become obsessed/addicted to it, but somehow it brings some comfort during this time that I so desperately need. Even though my stillborn loss happened 12 years ago, I can still remember that heartbreaking day, that week, and even that entire pregnancy which was so different from the previous three I experienced. It was such a heavy time of burden, rather than a time of joy. Soon I will be able to put it all down into words. I have tried so many times over the years, but couldn't share it completely with anyone, not even my husband. Until now, remembering Erin Marie during these last few weeks, I have found this opportunity through the grace of God and his infinite patience. There is so much I need to express and I know now that it will help in my never-ending grief and sadness. My life has gone on. I don't know how, but it did. I have managed to survive the everyday routine, which has become in itself a daily struggle. And only now have I recognized that I lost another baby 18 years ago and that was my first pregnancy, which was an ectopic pregnancy in its very early stages. That loss was never spoken of. It all happened in a blur of a few hours. Throughout the years I know God has put special people in my life for a purpose and they continue to be there. But always in the deepest part of my heart, I never was able to grieve completely. I hope I can do that now. I think the time is now and will only happen if I let it. So much to think about - so much to say - will I go absolutely crazy? After making contact with so many websites and just reading and crying for all those who have also lost, but somehow were able to share, I know I need and want to do that now. |

| Comments: | I emailed you about a couple of weeks ago about my
experience. I won't go into it here, but I can't get them to accept it to go on soc.support.pregnancy-loss, even though I agreed that they could edit out the bits they had a problem with. Did you get my email? Your site is very moving, you are doing something truly wonderful. |

| Comments: | This is wonderful and very touching site. I have lost two
babies at 18 weeks gestation and am trying to get the courage to try again. The losses were unexplained and I have been told by well meaning folks to just let it go and be happy with the boys I have. My family is not complete and I will continue to get the nerve to try again. Thank you for your love and work to comfort those who are the forgotten ones. Nita |
