Hello Laides. Sorry I have been a lurker for the last couple of weeks. I am sorry that we are all here. The love and support you show each other has hepled me everyday. I have tried writing this several times and I am still not sure that I am ready.

After a long 9 years we finally got pregnant and everything went well until our 20 week ultrasound. We found out our little Isabella was not growing as fast as she should. After several specialist appointments and all kinds of tests and blood work they were not able to find anything wrong. At 26 weeks our Isabella went to heaven. We were told at the hospital it was a cord accident. Her cord was twisted into knots and wrapped around her neck.

I don't know how to say goodbye. My heart hurts so much.

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Isabella. The love and support from the board is amazing and helps me get through every day. Until the loss of our sons I really didn't understand what a broken heart felt like, now I do. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this journey. ~~~HUGS~~~

I am so sorry for the loss of your Isabella and that you have to join us here. None of us were ready to face this new reality we live in, and I don't think I will ever be. I hope you can find some support here.

I am so sorry for your loss of Isabella (a beautiful name!)  We too lost our angel, Ethan, at 18w to a cord accident.  I have been feeling the same -- I miss him so much.  You are not alone!!  (((Hugs))))

I'm very sorry you find yourself here...but you will find when reading the posts-that you aren't alone....when writing a post-you will not be judged. When no one else understand exactly how you feel...someone on here will!!

Post as little or as much as you want. Someone is always around to lift you up somehow!

I am incredibly sorry for the loss of your sweet Isabella.  There are no words that will make it better, just know that we understand and are here for you.  Healing will come in time, but not overnight.  Be kind to yourself and take it easy.  It will take you awhile to want to be around people and get back into life, and that is perfectly ok.  I saw a grief counselor at 8 months out and wished I had sooner, so I would recommend that if you can....even a local church pastor would be able to serve this role if you wanted.  I would also recommend the following books...you will feel less lonely: Grieving the Child I Never Knew, The One Year Book of Hope, Empty Cradle Broken Heart, and Good Grief (by Westberg).

I am sorry you are joining us, but we are all here for you as much as you need.

Hugs,
