Ladies,
I thank you so much for the wonderful words of healing. I am so grateful. I go in tomorrow to consult with my OB/GYN and I'm assuming to schedule the D&C. My husband and I have received the sacrament of reconsiliation, and it gave…

Sandra, I am so sorry for your loss. No words can really bring comfort to a mother who mourns her child. However, when my son, Benjamin, died at 19 weeks, and I was in the hospital laboring to deliver a child I knew I had already lost, my dear…

Sandra, I am very sorry for your loss. I lost a baby, Joseph Augustine, at 11 weeks in September, and it was an awful time for me and for my husband. Most people's encouraging words failed to help me, but the comments and prayers from the women…

Sandra,
I'm very sorry for your loss. By cooperating with God you've given your little girl ETERNAL LIFE! That doesn't eliminate the heartbreak of getting to see, hold, and touch her, but it is a reminder that this world is fleeting,…

Kathy,
I never thought about celebrating our bdays together. Thank you for the idea. Today is better than yesterday and I know tomorrow will be better than today. I know God loves me and while I am still sometimes having a hard time accepting His…

Sandra,
I am so very saddened by your news. Know that your baby Samantha will always be your child and connected to you. I will pray for you and your family. I've been through several miscarriages and each one has been painful but I know I have…

- Ladies,
I thank you so much for the wonderful words of healing. I am so grateful. I go in tomorrow to consult with my OB/GYN and I'm assuming to schedule the D&C. My husband and I have received the sacrament of reconsiliation, and it gave me great peace to think of Samantha intervening for me to our Lord to forvige our mishaps. I am told tomorrow will be emotionally draining, but I go with Faith. I may not know now how God will use my pain and Samantha in our Salvation but I know He will. Dont get me wrong, I'm still hurting, and probably will for awhile, but I also know that God is with me. I thank you all, and I pray for your healing as well.

- Sandra, I am so sorry for your loss. No words can really bring comfort to a mother who mourns her child. However, when my son, Benjamin, died at 19 weeks, and I was in the hospital laboring to deliver a child I knew I had already lost, my dear friend and priest came to visit me. He consoled me when he reminded me of the purpose of our vocation of motherhood: we receive souls from God so we can raise them in the faith and one day lead them back to Him in heaven. You can take great comfort in knowing that you have, through your vocation of motherhood, led one child, Samantha, there already.
He also told me that the child, that SOUL, bears the imprint of its father and mother and that soul stands before the face of God. When God sees that child, he sees both you and your spouse.
May our Blessed Mother, who knows your pain far better than anyone, help to heal your broken heart and bring you peace in your grief. We will offer our family prayers for you tonight.

I'm aching for your loss and praying for you. I urge you to contact Morning Light Ministry (contact info on our group page) as they send you lovely keepsakes including a special prayer card to keep in memory of your baby. Thinking of you and your angel. xo

- Sandra, I am very sorry for your loss. I lost a baby, Joseph Augustine, at 11 weeks in September, and it was an awful time for me and for my husband. Most people's encouraging words failed to help me, but the comments and prayers from the women in this group were wonderful. My husband reminded me that God gives us children to love and care for for as long as we have them. For our little baby, that time was short, but we did the best we could for him (or her) during the time we had him. I will pray for you and your family. Please let us know how you are doing in a few days!

- Sandra,
I'm very sorry for your loss. By cooperating with God you've given your little girl ETERNAL LIFE! That doesn't eliminate the heartbreak of getting to see, hold, and touch her, but it is a reminder that this world is fleeting, and you will have the opportunity to be with her, forever. My children in heaven now outnumber my children on earth, and I think of them very often, but you can find peace.

- Sandra,
I am so very saddened by your news. Know that your baby Samantha will always be your child and connected to you. I will pray for you and your family. I've been through several miscarriages and each one has been painful but I know I have little saints in Heaven who look out for and pray for their mommy, as you do now. My son Sean was born and died the day following my b'day. I knew he would die due to a condition discovered in pregnancy, and begged the doctors not to take him so close to my b'day as I knew it would always remind me of him. It was difficult at first, but five years later, I am at peace about it and know that Sean celebrates our birthdays and waits for me in Heaven too. I don't know why God has chosen this fate for you , but know that He loves you more than you can know and holds you even tighter during this time. Peace and Love, Kathy Kennedy
