celebrating little

Posted May 15, 2007 at 3:30PM by rockergirrl

    As I mentioned in a previous entry Saturday was the day we had my sons birthday party and it was also the day the first child we lost (who we call little) would have been born.  She would have been 7.  That morning before the party I went to a plant sale and I bought a forget me not plant to plant in my garden in honor of her.  I thought it was a perfect way to silently celebrate her memory.  During the party the plant was still in the pot and on my porch.  After the party ended we planted it in the garden.  I think this will become a new tradition for us on her birthday.  It felt good.

Just remember she is YOUR Angel now watching over you and when you feel down she WILL embrace you. What a wonderful way to celebrate "Little". A beautiful way to to charish the love you lost. Chin up, smile and God Bless You and Your Family.

  Will the next one be ginger too??

I have a friend (not terribly close, but my husband worked for her husband for 6 years, and they're still in touch) who just lost her baby at 35 weeks. They named her Alice, and I would really like to do something to honor her. Do you have any advise as to what made you feel good, and what was too much? It's just such a heartbreaking and unsure time for them right now. Any words from someone who's been there would be appreciated!

at this point since it just happened I would just be as supportive as you can. The biggest thing for me was that no one really acknowledged my loss as losing a baby since mine was early. It seems much more tragic when a child dies after it has been born. To me it is my baby growing inside of me regardless of what stage it is in. I just remember really appreciating the people who seemed to get that. The ones who pissed me off where the ones who always just said "it was probably for the best." I say for now just be there and be supportive. It is hard for both sides.

When my husband and I were going through IVF we had both had surgeries to collect his sperm and my eggs. The doctors were able to create 7 embryos. Within 4 days they had all died. The doctors had no reason for it. We felt an incredible loss at that point. In our minds 7 little babies had died. I still get choked up today. It doesn't matter when it happens it still hurts, it is still a life and it is already a part of you. It is unfortunate that people can be so insensitive. I am really sorry for your loss.

Sullysmama - when our good friends lost their baby we lived across the country and send flowers and checked in with them by phone. And when my cousin lost their baby early on we also sent flowers. On both acounts we were the only ones to acknowledge their loss.

Just acknowledging that they are going through a hard time can be just the right help and support.

Sorry for your loss. You'll never forget your "Little" girl. What a beautiful momento and idea.
