Angel BabyFlew to Heaven 25th September 1997 Due 26th May 1998 Mothers of miscarried babies seem to be the forgotten grievers, people expect Mothers to be over it quickly and never consider them to be our children.. I am here to tell you that is not so. I have suffered a miscarriage and a neonatal death, I will not draw comparison but they both hurt. I've lost two children. I hope by having this page we can educate others on the very real grief of a miscarriage. In August 1997 we found out you were on your way, we were so excited. I started to get things ready even though it was early. The day I started spotting I had been through all Zac's baby things and was really excited. It was perfect timing as Zac was 3 and that was when we wanted our next child. For 3 days I was on bed rest with continual spotting that was just getting worse, the doctors kept telling me that this could be normal but I knew in my heart it wasn't. On September 25th three days before my birthday the bleeding had gotten very heavy and I knew you were gone. The doctors confirmed it and sent me home to wait it out. I didn't have to go to hospital for a D+C because they said it was so early, I was really pleased because I got to grieve you in my own way. You were so wanted and your loss hit me so hard. You may have only been with me a few short weeks but you were my dream . I had dreamed of you from when I was a little girl playing with my dolls. Babies are not meant to die. I know I got a lot of "what are you upset about it wasn't even a baby" I am a Christian so To me it definitely was a BABY, but to others I have said well what was it then?, they have no answer to this. Angel Occasionally we are graced with the presence of an earthbound angel, They are unable to stay with us for long, but while they do, they bring us unprecedented joy and happiness to all they touch . While they are here we bask in their goodness, and marvel at their contribution to the world. When they leave we are left with the devastation that comes with losing such a wonderful being ...but we must remember.... the earthbound angels are not ours to keep. They are ours to learn from, to enjoy until they return home.

Angel Occasionally we are graced with the presence of an earthbound angel,
They are unable to stay with us for long, but while they do,
they bring us unprecedented joy and happiness to all they touch
. While they are here we bask in their goodness,
and marvel at their contribution to the world.
When they leave we are left with the devastation
that comes with losing such a wonderful being
...but we must remember....
the earthbound angels are not ours to keep.
They are ours to learn from, to enjoy until they return home. Author unknown
