The Story of Eleanor (Loss Mentioned and Sensitive Images)

BrittanyG615 · September 2015

I read about this poor woman the other day, and it has haunted me. It also makes me think of the lady on here who lost her baby girl in the same manner. My heart breaks for them. I know we're all exhausted, and at times at our wits end, but we need to remember to be thankful for every stressful moment with our LOs. There are many who are longing to be in our shoes. I couldn't copy and paste, so I've attached screenshots of her story.

Oh my gosh how terribly devastating. I could feel so much pain in her words and then the pictures at the end gave me goosebumps and tears. I can't fathom the pain some people have to endure. It's stories like this that we should all remember to be so grateful and blessed for what we have been given.

I can't imagine birthing a fully developed baby and not being able to take them home. This is horrible, definitely humbling.

There were 4 or 5 other women who were at the hospital at the same time as me with preeclampsia. We were all about the same amount pregnant. One of the women had a placental abruption. Even though she was in the hospital, they couldn't get the baby out in time. She was 32 weeks at the time just like me. It really hit home. It seemed so random. Everytime I think of this poor woman and her baby, I get a lump in my throat. It definitely makes me hold my baby a little closer.

One of my good friends was due 7 weeks before me and lost her baby at 36 weeks. I am still so heartbroken for her and her husband. They have yet to meet our little guy. I'm hoping they will be able to heal and our baby will bring some joy into their lives

Oh my goodness. I lost it when I saw the pictures. How utterly devastating. Really makes you think how blessed we are to enjoy all these sleepless nights with our LO's

I read this the other day and cried like a baby. I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child.

I was wondering if someone would post this here. I read this on FB last night after a having particularly rough night with DS - I think he is going through a wonder week and I was holding him in the rocking chair in the nursery and just crying my eyes out as DS screamed and fussed for no reason. I got into bed after finally getting him to sleep and saw this story and cried even harder. Being a mother is so hard but this woman's story tore my heart out. I love every moment with my son no matter what and am so thankful for him as I'm sure we all are for our little ones.

It definitely puts things in perspective. There are times where I really think I'm going to lose my mind, but it really is a blessing that not everyone gets to experience or gets to experience for a second time. Her story has been weighing on my mind for days!

I've been having a particularly rough couple of days with my little one. She just screams whenever I try to set her down. But this story puts it all in perspective. So now I'm happily laying here, hungry and tired with a sleeping baby in my arms and feeling very blessed.

I read this on FB last night too and ugly cried for her. I have not stopped thinking of her and I don't think I will ever forget. My DD had finished nursing and had fallen asleep. Prior to reading this I would have been silently celebrating the potential of a nap (because let's face it, that's what it is at night), but after reading this I sat there for some time with her on my lap and tears soaking my face. I prayed for her and her baby. I prayed for comfort and mostly for her to stop blaming herself. I know her sweet baby is in the arms of Jesus, but even knowing that I am sure nothing can remove the pain; afterall I felt it and I don't even know her, so I cannot even pretend to know her and her husband's pain. I pray they find the strength to go on!

This exactly. As if the whole story wasn't devastating enough, I can't stopping thinking of her words...my body killed my baby...it's haunting me still 2 days after reading the story, I can't imagine how she feels at all. I just hope she can one day stop blaming herself.

I just bawled my eyes out.
This mom was able to beautifully put into words all of her feelings and emotions. I always wished I could put into words how I felt after both of my losses, and my heart goes out to all mamas who have to endure the heart wrenching pain of loosing a child (regardless of whether or not the child ever took a breath.)

How sad! This happened to a few friends of mine. They lost their twins at 21 weeks. If you don't mind me sharing on this thread as well.. ETA: idk why my typing just sucked so much.. Fixed for errors.

I also saw this on fb and bawled my eyes out. I'd had a really rough day and night with Cherry, and I was exhausted and all I wanted was to go to bed. After I read this, I just held her and cried. I've definitely been more patient with her after reading this. I don't think I'll forget this story for a long time.

tarheelgirl8 · September 2015

I can't even imagine the pain she is going through. Praying for her and her family. This is such a great reminder that every day truely is precious.

I read another story on Facebook a few days ago about a 23 years old woman who lost her husband and infant when a drunk driver hit their car head on. She was the only survivor. Just a reminder to hold your SOs tightly too.

RaquelB94 · September 2015

Oh man. I was literally still recovering from the post a few weeks ago about babies crying because "mom" used to be all around them and they never needed or wanted for anything. Now they both will help me smile through this day where John just wants to "nap" and scream all day.

gulimz · September 2015

A friend of mine posted this on fb today and I'm still crying
I can't even imagine. I hugged my baby so tightly afterwards. Reminded me of the lady that lost her baby that was on here. I still think of her daily even though I don't know her. My heart aches for these poor families. I feel so blessed and so lucky for my little Leyla even if she keeps me up almost 24/7. At least I have her to wake me up ♡

victoriaaa1 · September 2015

I haven't even read it all and I'm crying i m only on the 4th screenshot , I couldn't imagine anything like this in a million years . My heart goes out to her

( sometimes we just need someone else's story to really make you realize how lucky and blessed we are regardless of the fussing,crying and sleepless moments etc because in the end that's nothing compared to what that lady and her husband went through .

lilnessi · September 2015

This was so heart wrenching, i cant even imagine the pain that she went/is going through..
