Your words speak from the heart. It's terrible to lose a child, as all your hope and dreams are lost with it. ((hugs))

Very touching.  (I know that sounds callous, but that's the only phrase which came to mind when I read this.)  I suppose it may be a little cheesy to say this, but I really am sorry to hear about your loss.  I've never lost a child--for various reasons it's likely that I will not be able to conceive in the first place--but I know people who have.  For what it's worth, they tell me that although the pain doesn't really go away it does lessen to some degree.

I've chosen not to vote on a rating for this poem; it seems a little insensitive to rate someone's expression of sorrow.  However, on the technical side I did find it to be well-written. 

This year I am 'celebrating' the 13th Birthday of my 1st born.  She was born at 20 weeks gestation, a tiny, perfectly formed angel with dark curls and tiny fingernails.  My Jaqueline.  I still mourn for my loss but I know that she is captured in my heart forever.  Time heals all wounds and that statement is true.  I'm now the proud mother of a girl and a boy whom I love immensley but never will I forget my angel who came too soon. Using words as a way of expressing grief is very productive so if it helps then carry on.   I hope you find peace in your heart and mind and I send blessings to you for your healing and future. 

That was immensely touching. I had two threatened miscarriages myself, and I know so many people who have lost unborn babies. I can only imagine what you are going through.Don't give up hope ... there is always hope. I wish you you every happiness for the future. It was very brave of you to share this.

That really touched me deeply. I am sorry for your loss.  I hope you find some peace.

I understand what you are going through.  I myself lost 7 children. then when all hope was gone and before I was " old enough by law" to have my tubes done I got pregnant.  I swore if I lost this one I would be checking myself into the nut house.  The doctors finally realized that I have LUPUS and was unable to carry full term.  It has been 7 years and my daughter and I are doing fine. Though there is no cure for Lupus I keep it under control and I am very grateful for this precious  gift of life.So never give up hope.

Speaking as someone who has also lost a baby, that was very heart touching. I am so sorry for your loss. Trust in God no matter how hard that sounds right now.

That is a beautiful poem, Katherine. I don't know what was wrong, but I am sure that you baby knew that you loved it.

Wow. Very moving. I don't know what else to say... Fiona

Having been in that place, I think you summed it up perfectly. Thank you for sharing what I have not been able to put into the correct words.

My son, Sam, left us at 38 weeks gestation.  He would have been 7 now.  The loss never leaves, but the two that came along after him, as well as his elder sister, have helped us to bridge the void.I hope you will soon have the blessing of holding another child in your arms as well as in your heart.

this is heart breaking thank you for having the strength to share this.
