Gallery of little saints in heaven

Please post photos, if you'd like, of your little ones. Perhaps write their names and particulars and then we can all pray for each other's families and wee souls returned to God.

Our little Helen Carol was born 9/30/09 at 1:45 am and died 10/1/09 at 7:25 pm. So she was with us for about 42 hours. Her death on the feast of Little Flower has brought us so much consolation! She had Trisomy 18 with severe and numerous heart defects. I hardly got a chance to hold her. She was our sixth baby and my biggest dilemma at the moment is how to answer the question "How many children do you have?"

I agree with you, and my heart is saddened for you. My sixth son had trisomy 13 and was only with us for two hours. Five years later I still have trouble answering that question and find myself often adding that we had another child who waits for us in Heaven. I will continue to pray for your healing and that of your children too. For my children, it only strengthened their faith as they realize our home is in Heaven and not here so they are looking forward to that time. Peace to you.

Beautiful boy. I'm sorry for your loss. He's a lovely baby, your Sean Paul. xo

I'm so sorry for your loss. Please forgive me for not replying sooner. I found December to be very overwhelming - keeping up with things for our older four children and deeply missing our baby boy who died last May. I just met a mother last week who is carrying a baby boy with Trisomy 13 - she is carrying to term. I'm sorry for your loss and I'm glad you've shared your baby's photo. What sweet little fingers. Love from one sad mum to another.

Oh - my friend Ellie gave me an answer to that question of how many children. "I'm raising four but we have one waiting for us in heaven." Or, "I've got four living children." Then if people want to know more they can ask and if they don't I still feel I've honoured our deceased child. I hope that helps you as it helped me. xo
