    Cely -- i'm so sorry about the loss of baby Mia. This is a journey that no parent should ever have to experience. I'm glad that you found Share -- a very supportive group of families that have been instrumental throughout my grief journey.

  • I just wanted to put this out there for the angel parents, but Molly Bears will have their open registration tomorrow at 10 a.m. EST. They open it just once a month and is limited to the first 200 orders. I waited a long time before making the decision to submit an order. I wish that I hadn't waited so long. My bear arrived yesterday and he's so cute:)

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  I lost my son two years ago.  I am glad you found this site to give you comfort and find people to talk to.  I know how it made me feel to find Share 6 months after losing Scott and people who "got it"

    Cely122 - I am glad you are finding Share to be a place of comfort and understanding.  It's been 6 years since my daughter passed away, and Share has definitely been a huge part of my grieving and healing journey.  Its the one place that you can share your feelings and know that someone understands and no one is judging.

    Sending many hugs,

    HONESTY - I am so sorry for your loss of your son Josiah.  I know it's especially hard when there are no answers, we never got any answers about why I lost my daughter either.  I am sorry you had a reason to find Share, but I am glad you are here - I know you will find a lot of support here. I am keeping you and your husband in my thoughts.

    Hugs,

    Marissa

  • I lost my little girl at 20 weeks. I had an minor car accident Monday and ended up miscarrying Saturday morning July 5th 2014. That Monday my husband and I were supposed to find out or baby's gender and we were devastated. We named her Mia and her service was held later that week. We picked out a beautiful pink heart urn. I have no doubt in my mind that I will have another child but it doesn't stop me from wanting Mia. I will forever miss her presence and her light.

  • I heart me some quotes that tumble around in your mind and then find their place.  This reminds me of our journey of grief/love.  I know we all ask when... if it gets "better".  I've never been crazy about the idea of "better"... since how could it be?  And along the way think I have found we grow so much that we have so many more skills to ride the waves.  I like this quote because there is no pressure.  You are where you are when you're there, and when you're somewhere different on your journey, you'll be there too with new knowledge of how to navigate the waters.

    Sending love always!

    Hi Neville Jr.'s Mommy. Welcome to Share.  I am so sorry for your loss of your baby boy.  

    I am also a loss mom.  Six years ago my daughter was born at 26 weeks and passed away at 3 days old.  I also struggled, and sometimes still do, thinking about the way things should be.  I wish no parent ever had to face the loss of a child.

    I found Share to be a wonderful place to find support and know that I was not alone. I know you will find a lot of support here too.  

    Keeping you in my thoughts and sending many hugs.

  • My heart goes out to everyone who has lost there sweet babies. My Son grew his Angel Wings 3 hours and 15 minutes after he was born on 7/7/14. I was 19 weeks 1 day pregnant and went into preterm labor. The doctor told me that if  gave birth on that day that My Heartbeat, My Sweet Baby Boy would not survive... and 2 hours after I went into L and D he was born. I miss him so much and everyday I cry, thinking about how many week I would be on each passing day, and trying to come to grips with the fact that all of our plans for our son are no more. I have his cremains in a memorial area on my dresser with his memorial box given to me by the hospital that I delivered at. I light a candle and an incense every night for him and sleep with his picture on my phone beside every night.
