pregnancy-infant-loss-remembrance-day

Something that is near and dear to my heart. October is not only Breast Cancer Awareness month, but it is also Pregnancy/Infant Loss Awareness Month.

In 2007 my husband and I found out we were expecting. We were OVERJOYED. The growing tummy, the mood swings, the cravings. I loved it.

Until the day came that the ER doctor told me that we were losing the baby. I was ANGRY. Angry and upset at myself. I shouldn't have had the pop. Or I didn't eat the right foods. I was angry at God. Why would he take my baby away from me. After some soul searching and lots of tears, I made my peace. I realized that HE had bigger plans for our baby. And we will meet him one day.

I loved that baby. I always have, and always will.

I am one of the special people in this world.

I have three angels.

Two are on earth in my arms. One is in heaven, in my heart.

I am the face, I am 1 in 4.

If you are stricken by grieve of losing a child, by any means, please feel free to contact me. No words can take away your grieve, but my ears can listen.
