On January 4rth 1994 I woke up in labor with my first child. I called for an ambulance and went to the hospital. My water broke as we arrived , I was taken into a room and an ultrasound was started the nurse kept sliding the thing around on my stomach and my doctor came in. After he attempted to find the heart beat I was told my son was dead.
I was 19 ad a long way from my family I only had my boyfriend of two years for support. I felt like I was in a cruel nite mare and couldnt wake up. I got my mom on the phone and longed to be protected from what I was fixing to face. The death of my child. I arrived at the hospital at 8:30 am and I delivered a small frail boy at 4:40 pm. I was all alone and delivered him by myself. I pushed and there he was my precios angel. I was distraught as I laid there with him in my arms trying to say goodbye to someone I never would say hello to.
I made myself try to focus on every detail before I let the nurse take him from me forever. Its been 5 years now and as vivid as yesterday. I went through the next steps in a daze I was a sheltered mommys girl but even she cant fix the hurt I still feel. I talk to my baby and tell him how much his mommy loes him. I will always remember you my precious son . When God decides it's my time mommy will be with you forever.
I never knew this small child but love him nonetheless, and so did all of his family. He was always described as so loving, easygoing and ahead of his peers with similar obstacles to overcome. He passed from complications of pnemonia which became so bad because of the heart/lung problems that was a bonus with his down's. All these years later he is missed, and loved and never forgotten. Till we meet . . .
I have pictures and the stories of how I lost my precious baby girls plus pictures of my two boys. I have a condition in pregnancy called Antiphsphlipid Syndrome. I would like to contact anyone else who has this as well. There is a brief description of this on my pages. Please come visit and meet me and my family. God bless!!!
Casey and Samantha were born @ 28 weeks due to discordancy & suspected TTTS. Both were doing great, with Casey doing better than her bigger, but younger, sister, Samantha. Exactly 2 weeks from thier birth, Casey was suspected of having an infection. She died the next morning, weighing 2 lb. 2 oz. She was such a fighter, very alert and loved the attention the nurses showed her. She had dark blue eyes, long fingers and toes and lots of dark blond hair. We constantly think of Casey, and admire how her sister has grown.
We miss Casey not just for ourselves, but for her sister. If Casey had lived, Samantha would have a constant playmate and companion. We appreciate hearing from others that have lost a twin and are raising a survivor. We wonder how we will tell Samantha about her sister. We wonder if she remembers her sister... And we struggle with how to include Casey's memory in our lives, especially during the holidays, and thier birthday.
My name is Aimee and I am 19. I lost my little angel a
month and a day before her due date. I had a wonderful
pregnancy until everything happened. I would like to find some one with a similar loss to write, I would like to hear from you. 8012 Westfield Dr. M'Boro,Tn 37129 Click Here for a letter I wrote to Alissa.
Devon died at Children's Hospital during his first surgery to correct his congenital heart defect. He was almost 12 hours old. Please feel free to e-mail us and visit our web page. We LOVE to share our son's story.
As told by Gabrielle's loving mother, Lisa: Gabrielle was our third child. She was so very much wanted!!!! We have two other little boys and were so excited to be having another child. On September 15, 1997 our lives were changed forever. Our little girl had died. She was the most beautiful little girl I had ever seen. She looked so much like her big brothers! The months following her death have been horrible. It has now been almost a year and still my every thought is consumed by what has happened to us as a family. I miss my little angel so much. I want her to know how very much mommy and daddy and Matthew and Brandon miss her. We love our little girl more than words can ever say.... What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful human being who has touched many lives. Your sadness truly signifies the depth and beauty of a mother and father's love, thank you Lisa for letting us be a part of Grabrielle's life, love gloria
Aiden was my kicky kid :-) He will be loved and missed forever. Through him and his short life within me I have learnt how to love more than I knew possible. I have more patience and compassion than before. I have grown as a person...and that is just one of the precious gifts my son has given me. Sadly I now know the incredible pain and loneliness of losing a child. My dreams have been shattered. My life changed forever. Yet somehow I know I will make it, as I know have a special angel watching over me. I Love You Aiden forever more. Samantha
Andrew was our much loved, much anticipated 3rd child. We could not wait for the year to be over. He was due in September, and the pregnancy was so very difficult. We just wanted 1998 to be past, so we could have our new little angel home. It was not meant to be. Our little angel did not come to our home, but went to be home with Jesus. WE LOVE & MISS YOU!
My husband and I were trying to have a baby for almost two years now, well we finally did it although I was only one month pregnant I feel this great loss of a child. I just want to say to my unborn baby you were wanted so very much and mummy and daddy love you. Beth, I am honored to have your memorial and can only thank you for sharing a part of your child's life. You waited along time for the precious gift of life, you were a parent...no Beth, you are a parent and will always be, yesterday, today and always, fondly, gloria
