Late Term and Child Loss

2 years

I can't believe tomorrow will be 2 years since we found out Gabriel didn't have a heartbeat. We went in to find out my baby's gender, not to get the most devastating news we possibly could. We were going to reveal the gender to our families at Thanksgiving dinner. Instead I remember just sitting at my moms house on a couch so numb. I remember feeling like a lost little puppy with no hope in life. I wanted the earth to swallow me.

 Its been a long not so easy road since than. I miss him a lot, and often wonder what could've been. Yea, the tears stop flowing every minute of every hour. As a matter of fact the tears are far and between, but my heart still breaks into a million pieces Everytime I think of what happened. I miss him!

I guess I'm at the point of where I'm grateful to have been chosen to have been a mom to an angel, and thankful for the 20 beautiful weeks I did get to carry him. Thanksgiving will never be  the same, but I'm grateful for this board.

  • That was lovely.  It is not the same, because I was only nine weeks, but I just found out today that our little one has no heartbeat.  It is going to be hard to cook and be merry tomorrow.  My heart goes out to you.  This is the saddest I have ever been in my life.  I know I was mother, if oly for a short time, because I couldn't feel this much pain if I was not.

    As hard as it is to believe right now, they do. I know it doesn't feel like that right now, it just happens. Not that it makes it any less painful, but I guess you just begin to adapt to a new normal.

    Lots of hugs to all of you during the holidays. It's not an easy time, but you'll make it through. I promise. I really am so grateful for this board.
