After we lost baby Gary my hope was for a healthy baby. Then when I got pregnant again last October my hope was that this baby would get to stay with us. Now that Aubrey is here all of my hope is in her. I hope that she is happy. I hope that she grows up to be kind. I hope that one day she knows the kind of love that I have for her and her brother. She also gives me hope for future pregnancies.
My hope for this community is that by raising awareness about child loss and erasing the sigma of it, loss moms will feel comfortable talking about their angel babies without worrying what others think or that they are making them uncomfortable. I have been very lucky to be surrounded by people who let me talk about baby Gary, but unfortunately that's not always the case.
Eta. As I was typing this Billy Joel's "lullaby" came on Pandora. After baby Gary died I would play that song over and over. It was like a sweet little gift from him today. Just thought I would share
I hope this gets easier. I hope we can learn to live with Mary in our hearts instead of in our arms. I hope we can keep her memory alive and make her proud. I hope no one else has to go through this. Unfortunately, I know it will happen so my hope is that they can receive the support needed to find the hope to get through this.
My hope is that one day this will get easier and won't hurt as much. My hope is that I'm able to keep Domeniks memory alive, keep him in my heart, and make him proud of me everyday. My hope is for a future rainbow, a sibling for my angel baby! My hope is that anyone else that has to deal with a loss find the support they need in anyway they find comfortable.
My hope is that I can help other mothers who go through this. Though I see no reason for my daughter's death, I hope that I am able to help others share the burden and not feel alone. I want to share my daughter in an effort to help other mothers and fathers (and families) heal.
"Elsie Irene was born sleeping at 35w 6d on December 8, 2012. Mommy and Daddy miss you sweet girl."
My hope is the little boy growing in my tummy. After we lost Alice, I hoped for another baby. And now here he is, safe for the moment inside me, hopefully growing stronger everyday. I hope to bring him home. I know how difficult it is to see pregnant women so I chose not to post a pic of me, but this is my hope.
I hope for future loss parents that they find the light again. That there is more awareness and openness regarding loss. And mostly I hope none of our babies are ever forgotten.
Married 11/23/11, TTC starting 10/12, BFP#1 11/30/12, Adoption of stepson finalized 03/19/13,Loss of our daughter at 20w4d due to incompetent cervix 03/27/13, BFP#2 06/28/13, DS2 born 3/1/14.
Right after Brooke grew her wings, I had no hope for the future. Your kids are your hopes, dreams and future and when they pass so does all of that. Never thought I would get my hope back but here I am. I now have hope for the future. We just bought a bigger house so we can have Brooke's little brothers or sisters, if we are blessed too.
My hope for others is to not have to feel this type of pain but if they do, then I hope that they can carry the memories of their precious child into their future and not feel that they shouldn't.
