for women who lost their babies

[nermine]

I am a mother
But like most others
I am a special mother
I held my baby
Even though only in my womb
I am a mother
Even though my baby is no longer
At least...not on earth
He lives in heaven
With our sweet father
Which is far better
I am a mother
Like most others
To an angel...to whom I gave birth
I am a mother
Like most others
Who doesn’t get to throw parties
For those special occasions…like birthdays
Instead, we hold a silent party...in our hearts and heads
I am a mother...unlike some
Who hold their babies in their arms
I am a mother...who holds her son
So close to her heart
I am a mother...some beg to differ
I am a mother...though some may not agree
I am a mother
Who’s child is no longer with her
But...I am a mother
I am a mother...who can only dream
Of the day she holds her baby
For the first time in her arms
But never lets him leave her heart
I am a mother
Far from my son
But I am a mother…who will never forget
The day she lost her first son
I am a mother...who dreams
Of a rocking chair in heaven
Where I will someday...hold him close
When he cries or when I kiss him goodnight
I am a mother who…
Instead of holding my son’s hand
For the first day of school
Holds onto memories
That will never come true
I am a mother...who visits a cemetery instead of a school
I am a mother...who will never see
What her child will grow to be
I am a mother who cries herself to sleep...sometimes
I am a mother who sometimes rocks herself
I am a mother who gets to wonder what would be
I am a mother who wonders...What would he be?
Most of all...I Am A Mother

Hi, hon.  I read your reply to me from yesterday's post.  All I want to say is cry as much as you want/need.  It's also a part of the healing process.  I always felt better after a good cry.  I hope you feel better soon.  Anytime you need to talk, we're here to listen.  Hugs.

that was beautiful. and i get it realtes to all of us who have miscarried before.
but the honesst truth is, when you do give birth that child will be love and cared for and will be extremely special.
i wish you all the best my frien and may the lord shine on you and give you all that your heart desires.
GOOD LUCK AND BE STRONG
if you feel like going to the cemetary then maybe you should. crying helps you to heal and the more you cry the closer you come to healing. you will never forget her neither will you stop loving her but she would not want you to be going through all of this. she loves you and even though she might not be here she loves you none the less. be strong and remember we are all here for you. WITH LOVE AND SUPPORT.

p.s. i noticed you ask for me along with another person the other day. i was unable to sign on as my fiance decided tp take me on a trip to help get my mind off my miscarriage(did'nt work of course) but at least he tried. i'll be on ny 7 o'clock tomorrow. see you then

You never forget...you always hold them in your heart.
