Tod...Hi Malory, thank you so much for writing this. Today marks my son's 5th birthday and while searching online I came across this site. First I would like to express my sympathy to you and your family. Reading your message above just took me right back to that year 2008 those very feelings of utter shock and then numbness and then pain. I was diagnosed with HELLP syndrome and he had to be delivered via emergency C-section at 29 weeks. He lived for seven days and to me though I miss him terribly I consider him my little miracle. I so grateful his daddy took pictures at hospital and at his memorial service so I can remember his face as I never got to hold him. I too notice that people are uncomfortable if I talk about him but that's them I refuse to feel bad about it. He is, was and always will be my son my first born and I feel blessed to have carried him and brought him into this world. Ultimately I believe we are the fortunate ones, for all those who criticize, we have our on special angels to look after us, who God thought were just too special for this earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700820110004988346.post-46705290720032048552013-04-10T17:11:26.687-04:002013-04-10T17:11:26.687-04:00Hi Malory, I just wanted to thank you for writing ...Hi Malory, I just wanted to thank you for writing this. I just stumbled across it. Everything you have said is so true and honest. I lost my son Davis last April. He was born at 28 weeks, weighing just 2 lbs, and died 5 months and 6 days later from complications of lung disease. I just wanted to say that I realize how lucky I am to have the luxury of pictures of my son while he was alive, and because of my friends who are living with the loss of a baby born sleeping I appreciate those pictures more every day. Thank you for your words, and I am so sorry for your pain and loss.

They believe it was cervical weakness, but they are still unsure. We have been reading over your blog and just find ourselves agreeing with everything you say. It is just such a comfort to find other people who know exactly how we are feeling. My husband has not looked at pictures that were taken of our son yet. He originally didn't even want any. I am glad that my parents were able to take some, even if they were on a cell phone. I am so frightened I will forget what he looked like. I need those pictures.

I also had a placental abruption.I know exactly how you feel, and the daily battle of grief . My angel Jade would have been 6 now. There is not a single day that i don't think of him and wonder what he would be like. I have precious photos of him proudly displayed in my lounge room. Even though he is not with us, he is still very much part of the family. I feel for you, and what you go through each day. Our angels will be forever in our hearts. And to all who judge...DON'T!!!

Or just because he was a baby that it shouldn't hurt as much as losing an older child. People can be so cruel, but you are right, I should take their opinion with a grain of salt if they've never walked in my shoes.

I lost my son one hour after birth. He was 1lb 9oz. I had him at 21 weeks. I was totally devastated. I couldn't move on. He was my first and I was 24 years old. I still talk about him and I know he is an angel and will never ever be forgotten. I have am incompetent cervix. My doctor was not a good doctor. I am still not over it but I know he is in a better place now. He is 7 year old angel watching over us.

I thought it would creep some people out, so I just had an ultrasound picture of him up for the longest time. I had to finally give up and not care. It is my blog and I wanted a picture of him up there. It shows that I am real and I have been through a devastating loss and I had a real life growing inside of me even though he could not grow on the outside. Thanks again. I needed this tonight.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090129098020693260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700820110004988346.post-82546078955301115952010-02-18T21:30:16.972-05:002010-02-18T21:30:16.972-05:00What a great post.

I hate that I feel the need to not make anyone feel uncomfertable with looking at my deceased child, when all I wana do is diplay his photos everywhere. I am so glad that we chose to use NILMDTS, but at first I was disgusted by the thought of it. I thought how tacky but when I looked at the broushure, I saw how tasteful they were. I really wish that you had been given that option but so glad that you at lease got some pictures of Janessa.
