Loss at 23 weeks
5 days ago our child was born on August 12, 2008. We were ecstatic when that pregnancy test showed positive that special morning in March. That came to a crashing halt on Monday, August 11, when an ultrasound revealed no cardiac activity. "Fetal demise," is what they call it. No reason was given, just something that happens they say. So, that day, Jeff took me to the hospital where they induced labor. 10:53 pm August 12th, our son was born after growing for 6 months. He was our flesh and blood, beautiful to us in every way. But he will never cry, never open his eyes, never know the love that awaited him. He is now our special angel, watching down from above. Jeff and I are left with empty hearts. We ask ourselves why and it falls on deaf ears...no one has the answers. Please pray for our healing as we do not seem to know how to go on. My heart is aching and I feel like I can't go on!

I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my boy at 21 weeks on May 1, 2007. I pray God will help you heal. Take your time and grieve for your baby. It does hurt less often but it takes a very long time and when it hurts it hurts like the day it happened but the good times do return...the sadness does too. Its not easy but you're not alone. If you ever need to talk you can pm me.  's

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son.....as Kara says...take the time you need to grieve and go through the healing process...there will be rough days ahead but you will get through this...you will always remember your sweet boy...Take care of yourself...cry when you need to cry, sleep when you need to sleep, punch a pillow when you need to release some anger....eat something decadent...lean on each other...We are here for you too....!!!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, I don't have any great words to offer and I can't imagine going through what you are going through, I will keep you and your DH in my prayers. Like the previous posts state take time to heal and to grieve and know that there are many who are praying for you and your family.

Thank you all, so much. for your thoughts and prayers. It's been a hard few days and I wish, so much, to have my son back with me. KJ is missed so much by Mommy and Daddy. So many questions are left unanswered and I often wonder why???? Why is it that so many are blessed with children, and later, the parents take the lives of their own children? And here I am, left with the heartache of a child that was wanted so much.

 I am so sorry. 
No body will ever know 'why' this happened.
The only thing that ever helped me answer that question was to know that I wasn't in control, only God was.
The next few months will be very difficult for you.
Take time to grieve, and maybe do something special to remember your little guy.
My friend planted a bush that would bloom at the time each year when her baby was to be born. I hung an angel and a baby ring on my rear view mirror in my truck for example.
We are all here for you.
