I can't stop crying

[Radosti]

The founder of the MilkShare group sent out an e-mail about remembering the babies who died. She included a link to bereavement photography:

I knew I shouldn't have looked, but I did anyway. I started bawling and can't stop. All I want to do is go pick up my son and hug him close. He's sleeping now, so that's not a good idea. But the loss I feel for those parents is tremendous.

I hear you! Someone linked to that site on another message board a couple of months ago, and I just HAD to look. I was sitting there bawling like a baby and DH got mad at me for looking at it! I'm really glad I looked though, what beautiful pictures.

I so shouldn't have looked. Bawling here, too. And my babe is sound asleep too, so I can't hug her, either. I looked because I felt I owed it to the parents of the children featured there. I mean that in a good way - does that make any sense? It really is a powerful website and a good cause. But, yeah, tears every where. Breaks my heart. And makes me so thankful for the perfect angel I have here on earth with me.

I've passed this link on to several of my loss support groups in the past. They do wonderful work, and I wish that I had known about them when we could have used their services over 3 years ago. The photos we have of our daughter are what we have to remember her, so they are unbelievably precious. I was so grateful that the nurses offered to take them.

I'm very sorry for your loss.


I read in "The Birth Partner" by Penny Simkin things you might want to do with baby in the event of a still birth. It was the only book I have read that suggestions like dressing baby, taking pictures, etc. I will make a point of including this information on a seperate birth plan because I can only imagine I wouldn't remember the ideas if it was really happening.

Not looking at that link...I can't handle that right now.

OMG! I cant believe I looked(!). I am at WORK(!) and DS is at the sitters, I thought 'Oh I'll be okay (and of course curiosity got the best of me).' So sad, words cannot express all of the emotions. It is a wonderful organization and idea.

[punkrockmama]

OMG. That is so terribly sad and awful but beautiful at the same time. Those pictures are just perfect and beautiful but I wish nobody ever had to have them. :( ;(

Peyton had a rough night (bad dreams) and is still sleeping and I want to wake him up and kiss him all over. Little Layligirl just nursed and is knocked out for the time being but I want to wake her up to and just squeeze her. Not that I didn't know it already but I am so lucky. :(

[DrSally]

OMG! I didn't know about this, of course I am totally bawling! Thanks for passing this along.

I am at work and I opened the link. I am sitting at my desk crying and hoping that no one sees me. Thanks for sharing the link.

[tarynsmum]

I am restraining myself and not looking. My tear ducts thank you.

[Lovingliv]

I am bawling my eyes out.... those pictures are beautiful...
May God bless each and everyone...and hold there parents tight.

Okay, now I can't stop crying. What an amazingly beautiful idea. One of my very best friends lost triplets at around 24 weeks and the nurses encouraged them to take pictures. I know it was part of the healing process for my friend to scrapbook the pictures that they took. I hope more people find out about this organization.

Strangely I didn't cry. But it the beautiful pictures warmed my heart, what a wonderful way to honor these little ones and precious gift to their parents.
