Today would have been

my daughter’s 9th birthday. She was born prematurely as I had HELLP and would have died without an emergency termination of the pregnancy. She lived for about 3 hours in my arms before she passed.
She was beautiful and perfect.
Happy birthday, Lila. :heart:

She was the first of two (a boy, Brent, a couple of years later). I had the same thing. He was a little farther along but passed away after a promising week and a half.

Sorry I’m unloading. HELLP sucks and I’m just feeling a lot today. Thank you for your sweet message :heart:

I understand there’s no reason to say sorry… If you want to talk to someone feel free to PM me… My daughter didn’t die but I was forced to give her up for adoption and I had to morn not having her so I may understand a little better than some… Once again I’m so sorry I know it hurts and I’m sorry you’re in pain

@TheIdlerWheel It’s been almost 5 years since I lost her and it still hurts and I wish I could say it eventually stops hurting we just find different ways to distract ourselves but every year it hurts again… It doesn’t stop hurting but it does get easier eventually… It has for me at least… And thank you for the offer

Of course! I mean it!

It does get easier… or rather just different. It’s a tough road to travel either way.

The hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. My body is just not equipped to be pregnant. My partner and I hope maybe one day to adopt.

Then in that case, I hope you can someday. There are so many children without families and homes. Best of luck to you.

Im so sorry this has happened to you. I cannot begin to imagine the pain you must be going through. To lose one is hard but two is even harder. Im sorry :disappointed:

@TheIdlerWheel I am so sorry for your two babies that aren’t with you now. I wish things are such that you will be reunited one day. I had a tubal pregnancy before I had my children and it was heartbreaking so I can try to see the type of pain you must have. I wish I could take it from you.

I’m so sorry for your loss as well @Leaf :heart: Nothing compares to losing your children one way or another. I have faith we will all be reunited one day, somehow.
