Be still...

[linkbey]

I just read about this organization in Newsweek. How I wish I'd had such a support in 1977, when I had a miscarriage, or in 1979, when I delivered a stillborn son, Mark, at 24 weeks. I lost my dear son, Darren, at the age of 26 last February. He was my "baby"...I pray he has met his siblings in heaven. The pain of losing a child is so harsh - there are no words for. Infact, there is no word...bereaved parent is used, but there is no word for it because IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. Parents are not supposed to bury children. But it does happen, and, by the grace of God, we get through it. This group is such a wonderful support for those of you who are experiencing this loss for the first time. talking, praying, crying...it all helps.

You're so right...there is no word...this is not supposed to happen! I'm glad that you found us (of course, I'm not glad about the circumstances) but any time you need to vent, we're here. I am so deeply sorry for your losses.

I'm so sorry for your losses but am glad you found us. I agree that this isn't supposed to happen to anyone. I hope that you are able to share 'us' with others that could use our help in the future.

I am glad you found us. Even though your "baby" was 26, it is still a loss. Your precious angels that were gone in a blink of an eye, met your son and welcomed him. Welcome.

You have suffered such devastating losses three times. I am so sorry about mark and Darren and your unnamed angel (I have one, too - a miscarriage at almost 11 weeks). You are right that there is no word that can describe the power and pain of our losses. Welcome to our forum...

Virginia,
I am so sorry you have gone through this. Alison, Mark and Darren will remain in my thoughts.
I wish we didn't have to meet this way. I wish I could take your pain away. There are no words to describe what we go through when our children are called so soon. It is beyond words, beyond pain. We are always mothers/fathers with empty arms and hearts longing to hold our angels.
Thank you for sharing with us.
