My baby died and i need hope!

[misskriss]

Hi everyone i have only just joined tonight.  I lost my beautiful daughter at 3 1/2 months in November which shattered my world.  Then 2 weeks ago i found out i was pregnant again then miscarried last week.  I really need to know that other people have continued to life life and not just give up, lay down and die?

[Michael_68]

The only thing I can tell you is that it does get better with time.

I once knew a man who had lost a hand.  I asked him how long it took to get over it.  I will never forget what he said.

"You never get over it. But with time, and a little luck, you learn how to live with it."

I lost my daughter many years ago.  I have eventually learned how to live with it.  But I will never stop missing her.

New to this site. I was reading the first article and I am so sorry for everyone's loss. I know how hard it is. I lost my little girl, Cassandra, on Dec. 17th 1996, she was 3 weeks old that day. What took her was Bacterial meningitis. She would had been 17 next month and the pain remains, although it remains, it does lessen but,  you never forget and the tears will always fall, just less.  I tried to have another, was given her birth date as the due date. Needless to say I freaked out a little. I had a miscarriage very early, around 8-9 weeks. Then had other issues and had an emergency hysterectomy. So my chance was totally gone. I will not lie and say that I do not feel incredibly cheated, because I do. Only recently I have found it my heart to stop blaming God. I have had a life full of abuse from parents, ect during my youth, and still have a hard time believing that I deserve all this pain, but I guess I do. My mother often told me that she did not feel that instant overwhelming love that happens when you give birth and hold your child for the first time. So, naturally when I had mine and had that amazing feeling, I truly hated her more. I guess I am still lost and trying to find answers that make any sense, that little girl that had no love from her mommy is what I remain to this day. I want to release this hate, but no clue on how to do it. No one will probably even read this, and that is okay. Somehow just writing things out for everyone to see, helps in some little way, like I am not so alone. Have great life all. And if you have not lost a child, I hope you never have to experience it.     .

I lost my little 4 month old baby boy to bacterial meningitis, I woke up with my baby in my arms not breathing. I am pregnant but I really am struggling to cope I just need my little perfect boy back. How did you cope and get through this horrible time.

[ayabassem]

i lost my baby boy too. he was just 4 days old. he had a hard time breathing since the moment he was born. i was not allowed to see him or hold him and i resent that. i held him just one time and kissed his forehead and heard him crying. i felt like he knew me. he knew i was his mommy.he was an angle.he was born on October 30/2012.the pain doesnt wanna go away. it is so hard and difficult to cope with this because i was really excited and happy to be having a little baby boy as i lost a baby before him when i was 4 months pregnant. i wish i could have known him.i wish i can see him. i dreamed of him 2 times he was so happy and beautiful. but was kills me is that i wasnt with him when he died.i wish i was there with him to hold him and kiss him and tell him that i love him.oh my angle i love u sooooo much i will never ever forget u

[mommy_to_be17]

[ch4shell]

My baby boy passed two nights ago I don't know why yet. I'm so heart broken my life doesn't feel real how do you go on? I just don't understand he was only 7 weeks old. I never left him   alone and the one time I let him sleep in the other room he died.

[myangel05]

In 1998 my two month old daughter Denae died in her sleep. The autopsy revealed nothing. However I can't help but wonder how could have prevented this. The thing is for three days I had to have her with me at a hospital where her older sister was admitted. Do you think she caught a virus or something? I still have not gotten past it, I still wonder .

[ylime03us]

[seattlemom2plus]

I just saw your post and want to say how sorry I am for your loss.  You have ever right to be heart broken indeed.  I can only hope that the days will get better for you.  You might want to post your own thread so others will respond and share the support you need:

My beautiful baby boy - River - didn't wake up on the 7/11/11, just 128 days old. My heart is broken and I just need to hear from anyone who has lost their baby to SIDS. How do you go on each day? I need some sign of hope x

[kayden2009]

i lost my son may 26 2009 due to sids he was six months 19 days old... i will tell u it was one of the worst days of my life..my 5 and 3 year old daughters went in to his room in the morning and found him...my five year old had a few prombles after he had past..its is one thing i would want no one to experince...i miss my son so much and wish i knew what he would look like today..

[bebelee]

My baby bubba died just over 3 months ago, he was 7 weeks and 6 days when we found him sleeping. We tried, the paramedics tried at the hospital for over 40 minutes but he was gone. I miss him so much it hurts more than i could ever say. My 4 year old was so excited to have a little brother and now he has been taken away. SIDS is not fair, no parent, sibling or anyone should have to say goodbye to their perfectly healthy baby!
It upsets me so much that so many people live with this grief. It happens often and there is nothing anyone could have done to prevent those deaths that happened by SIDS.
I was never brought up believing or not believing in god so it's hard when people say "it's god's purpose" i just dont understand it, i have too many questions.
All i know is my angel was an amazingly smart and clever little boy loved my his mummy, daddy and big brother so much. Our angel Tyler.

my baby boy died last month, he just 3 weeks old when he passed away

[CallumRyan]

My nephew at 3 months old died today (22/12/2010) my brother did what no father should do, he held his sons lifeless body as he gave him mouth to mouth. By the time the ambulance (paramedics) arrived at the hospital thay knew they could not revive him. I held that baby, felt his heart beat, knew he was special. the most significant thing he did was die. his heart was too weak we are awaiting a post-mortum. 'misskriss' my whole heart goes out to you and no matter how many times you hear that the pain never goes it's too great. It still feels like he is still here, i just want to go to the house and find him but i know he wont be there. i just saw your post and thought i would share my story, from a 15 year old boys view.
   My Deepest Condolences.

[Rubytaylor]

I cannot even imagine what you must be going through. what you have gone through, don't give up hope, try to be strong, I know its easier said than done. It's something many fear, most have been touched by, and all will one day experience. We shall always pray for his eternal rest in the hands of God.

[Nataly24]

Just wanted to say how sorry I'm. I've lost my baby when I was pregnant 12 weeks, my baby died in a womb at 7 weeks gestation's, I didn't know until 12 weeks, I'd never ever forget that an awful night when I got to the hospital with minor bleeding and midwife after examined me told me that it doesn't look like I was pregnant 12 weeks, I started to cry but no one could help me, I was asked to stay in the hospital for over night, I cried all my eyes out all night, I couldn't sleep, I remember I even dream that my baby was alive, In the morning I was called for a scan and sonographer broke the news calmly that my baby died at 7 weeks gestation! I couldn't remember how I got back to my room, I felt that life was falling apart, I was in a such terrible shock that I even could not talk. I was told that baby need to be removed immediately due to sepsis risk. Still my little angel going to live in my heart for ever.... I think it was a punishment  that a year earlier I got pregnant and I was only 18 I decided to do an abortion, my heart is breaking still. I'm sorry my babies that I could not safe you and protect you.... My heart is going to ache as long as I live.

My Little sister age 24 just lost her daughter Kayleigh age 3 months today. She was in her fathers care when the death occured. I am unsure how to help he besides offer to be here for whatever she needs. I am scare for her and what this may do to her. She is a recovering addict and she has been struggling with staying recovered already. Any input or advice anyone can offer me to help her?

[Linda30]

My baby Mariam was born 12th of July 2008. She died 26th September 2008, at 76 days old, 2 and a half months old. She had a few complications such as a heart defect that were minor and treatable, but then developed pulmonary hypertension, which is basically pressures on the lungs. I was by her bed side every day sinch she was born. I totally know how you are feeling. Agreat loss, an emptiness that no one can fulfil. People can only say soothing things, but at this time everything and every body is making you angry, it's making me angry. My baby has left me with great anger. I don't want to see anybody, why, because no one will ever feel what we are feeling. I don't ever wish this, the death of a child to anybody. I try to keep strong every day, but only to cry and break down every night. It is so unfair. But hey maybe one day we will get to reunite in the life after. Keep strong, look after yourself so that you can fulfil your dream of becoming a mother. My baby has tought me to take out more time for myself, to look after myself. Before i had my baby i was always working never had time for anything. When my baby was born i made all the time possible to be at her bedside every day for the 76 days. So you can make time for yourself, life is not all about making money and stressing. You need to take each day and remember your little angel is looking over you every day, hoping for you to be happy.

Hi i joined today and your story is the first one i've read and it breaks my heart. I'm am so so sorry for your loss. I wish i could cash a spell to take your pain away but i can't, all i can say is take one day at a time that's all you can do. Coming onto this site has taken me back 17 years and re-opened my old wounds. I woke one morning to find my little boy Danny had passed away all alone. How did i cope i'll never know. I had 2 miscarriges befor him so when he arrived i was over the moon, can you imagine how i felt when i lost him. Of course you can and so can thousands of other people. I had no one to help me. There were so many questions i needed answering and even when they were answerd it wasn't enough. Why, how, i blamed myself and probrably still do.
I wish i'd had a site like this i had nothing. What i did was cry and cry and cry. I talked about it until i was Blue in the face and spent all my time sitting t his grave. That was my way of dealing with it.
I already had a 2 year old and people would say thank yourself lucky you have a child. There are so many stupid people out there, that was the wrong thing to say. It was an awful time and wouldn't wish it on anyone but time is a great healer. Get through one day at a time. Wait until your body is ready before you try again it will happen. I went on to have 2 more daughters so i have 3 girls. I was glad i didn't have another boy, he was the only one i wanted and that was it. He's pictures hand around the house and i take to him always. Come on here and pour your heart out write how you feel to get it out of your system. People here seem very kind and will help what ever way they can. Be brave x

I am so sorry for your loss.  I lost my daughter in 1985 to SIDS.  The Grief Recovery Handbook helped me so much, however it may be too soon for you on that one.  You really do have to feel this.  I agree with Spazzswife, if you just try to be "be strong" and "hold it in" the pain will manifest in other areas of your life.  It took me until 2004 to find the Grief Recovery and amazingly enough, when i went through the process I found there was something I had not dealt with in all the 20 years regarding her death.  The experience of losing a child forever changed me as a person and especially as a mother, but not all those changes were bad.  Please email me directly anytime.  I felt so alone when it first happened to me.  No one else really "gets it" if they didn't lose a child this way.

[Spazzswife]

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my daughter to SIDS 16 years ago when she was 4 months. It was a very difficult thing to say the least. It takes so long to recover. If you hold in the greif it will come out in different areas of you life. I did some other things that really helped me. If you would like to email me Id be happy to talk to you. ***@****

[jem706]

my heart really goes out to you. but i know that God would give you grace and comfort. one of the most painful experiences in life is to loose a child of your own. i lost mine too in march last year and it still gets to me till date. but i have being comforted by God. i know you will be faced with crying sometimes pls allow the tears to flow it will heal you. also meet people who have had the same experiences they would really help you. pray a lot it would really be a source of comfort.

[Spartakos]
