.~* Our sweet baby - Due 3rd June 2009 - Went to sleep - 5th November 2009*~.
For our sweet angel, who died for unknown reasons in Mummy's tummy at 10weeks.
We went to hospital on 4th November 2009, with nothing more than little niggles and a feeling
something wasn't right. After lots of bloods and proding and poking, they said you seemed fine but
to come back in the morning for a scan in the EPU. We did, and the sonographer said the worst thing
I have ever been told, it was bad news, your little heart had just stopped beating.
They called it a silent miscarriage. You just peacefully went to sleep. You stayed asleep in Mummy's
tummy until the doctors helped Mummy deliver you gently on 11th November 2009. Getting to hold you
and touch your tiny little hands was beautiful - and the rush of love was instant. We brought you
home for you to stay with us and sleep peacefully in the memorial garden we are creating for you.
Even though you only shared our lives for 10weeks, Mummy and Daddy couldn't wait to meet you and we
are heartbroken that we won't get to share your life. Too precious for this world, you are in the
Summerlands with all the other angel babies.
You are the brightest firework in the sky, it's all for you.
Thank you to everyone who has lit a candle for Edan. It means more than words can ever say. Thank
you both from me and from Edans Daddy. With love -x-x-
This poem says my words better than I ever could, thank you to whomever wrote them;
How do you love a person
who never got to be,
or try to envision a face
you never got to see?
How do you mourn the death of one
who never got to live.
When there's nothing to feel good about
and nothing to forgive?
I love you, my little baby,
my companion of the night.
Wandering through my lonely hours,
beautiful and bright.
What does it mean to die before
you ever were born,
to live the lovely night of life
and never see the dawn?
Ah! My little baby,
you lived like anyone!
Life's a burst of joy and pain.
And then like yours, it's done.
I love you, my little baby,
just as if you'd lived for years.
No more, no less, I think of you,
the Angel of my tears.
~Author Unknown.
.~*You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
You're everything that I want and ask for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love*~.
An angel never dies.. Anon
Don’t let them say I wasn’t born,
that something stopped my heart,
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I loved you from the start.
Although my body you can’t hold,
it doesn’t mean I’m gone,
this world was worthy not of me,
Life chose that I move on.
I know the pain that drowns your soul,
what you are forced to face,
you have my word,
I’ll fill your arms,
someday we will embrace.
You’ll hear that it was “meant to be,
God doesn’t make mistakes”,
but that won’t soften your worst blow or make your heart not ache.
I’m watching over all you do,
another child you’ll bear,
believe me when I say to you,
that I am always there.
There will come a time,
I promise you,
when you will hold my hand,
stroke my face and kiss my lips and then you’ll understand.
Although I never breathed your air,
or gazed into your eyes,
that doesn’t mean I never “was”…An Angel Never Dies.
For just a few weeks - S. Erling
For just those few weeks
I had you to myself.
And that seems too short a time
to be changed so profoundly.
In those few weeks,
I came to know you...
and to love you.
You came to trust me with your life.
Oh what a life I had planned for you!
Just those few weeks...
when I lost you,
I lost a lifetime of hopes,
plans, dreams and aspirations.
A slice of my future simply vanished overnight.
Just those few weeks...
It wasn't enough time to convince others
how special and important you were.
How odd, a truly unique person has recently died
and no one is mourning the passing.
Just a mere few weeks..
And no "normal" person would cry all night
Over a tiny unfinished baby,
or get depressed and withdraw day after endless day.
No one would, so why am I??
You were just those few weeks, my little one.
You darted in and out of my life too quickly.
But it seems that's all the time you needed
to make my life richer
and to give me a small glimpse of eternity.
By S. Erling
Stop all the clocks - W.H Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
Poem by Mary Frye
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
I recently lost a baby in a similar way to you. We saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks and 2 weeks later it had stopped. Its extremely painful especially having seen the heartbeat. My thoughts are with you and your family and i hope one day you can proudly hold your baby in your arms and know that your little angel is looking down over him.
I to lost a baby at 14 weeks,just when i thought things would be ok,from the day i found out i was pregnant i was having a boy and was calling him Alex he would of been 4 now the pain is still there but it gets easier i was due on 9 june so i always say happy bitthday 2 him on that date,some people dont understand as you never held your baby,but you still loved them,your poem is lovely it brought back the memories and made me shed a tear,God bless to you and your partner,take care love Donna xxxx
To The Child I'll Never Know - by Gloria Dianne
How can I say Good Bye
When I never said Hello,
Why does my heart grieve
For the child I'll never know?
You were a part of me
For just a little while.
I grieve because I'll never see
The magic in your smile.
I grieve for all the unsaid words
That you will never say.
I grieve that I will never see
You happily at play.
I grieve for all the lullabies
That will remain unsung.
I grieve because I'll never see
Your face gleaming like the sun.
I grieve because you will never know
The comfort of my touch.
I grieve because you will never know
That you were loved so much.
I grieve for all the tomorrows
That will never be.
I grieve because God chose
To take you back from me.
You live among the Angels now
Your earthly mission done,
You will be so dearly missed
Good-Bye my little one.
