We lost our little baby to miscarriage in Jan. 2009 at about 10 weeks. She (we call her a girl) quit growing at 6 weeks, so I don't even have a sono picture of her. We named her Mary Joseph and she would have been due this Sat., Aug. 15, so this is a hard week for me. Thank you for starting this group.

Oh, Janet. I'm so sorry for your loss and heartbreak. I'll absolutely lift you and your wee girl in prayer. Anniversaries such as these are really hard, aren't they? (((hugs)))

Janet - I am so sorry. I'm sure tomorrow was very hard for you. I hope you were able to go to mass and find some comfort during the Solemnity. I will pray for the Blessed Mother to keep you wrapped in her mantle.

This is the wreath I made last night to take to the parish cemetery today after mass. It was a simple project but I think it has helped me to really feel like I've acknowledge my child's death.

That's a lovely tribute, Marie. I prayed for all of us today at Mass. I was up hours in the early dawn as well, thinking of my baby George and the babe we miscarried last February (I think of as Francis as I think it was another boy but may have been a girl - could be Frances) and praying for all of our little saints. If I can't sleep, I can pray.

'If I can't sleep, I can pray.'

That is so perfect. There are a lot of times that I can't sleep as well and if it lasts long enough I will grab the rosary off my bed post and start to pray. The photos of your family with baby George as so beautiful Karen. I'm so sorry for your heartbreaking loss.

Our daughter, Lucy Rose was born and died on this day three years ago - it's hard to believe that it's been so long! She had a neural tube defect called anencephaly, detected at the 20-week ultrasound, so we were able to prepare ourselves for her birth and death - what a blessing. Lucy lived for only a few moments, but we held her in our arms for many hours and had the chance to "introduce" her to our family and close friends.

God bless all of you who have recently lost babies...Janet, I am so sorry for your loss and will pray for healing. Anniversaries, due dates, etc. are always bittersweet. Marie, what a beautiful wreath. Karen, your son is absolutely beautiful and his elder siblings are blessed to have been able to say good-bye to him. George will always be a very important member of your family.

My heart breaks for you. My son Sean Paul was born and died five years ago. Although he was only with us for two hours, he changed my life and that of my other children. Wrap Mary's mantle around you and let others love you through your grief. You may not know why God has chosen this path for you but know that He loves you very much and your spiritual family, here and surrounding you, offer you up in prayer.
