My unforgotten babies

Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1998

Hi my name is Elizabeth and I have had 3 miscarriages and 1 stillborn I lost my first son Jerry JR. almost 6 years ago on Feb 9, 1993 He was stillborn at 26 weeks and 5 days. Due to an infection called Choromionitis. It really devastated me when this happened I didn't think anyone understood me, since I was the first in both my husbands and my side of the family to ever experienced this. I still to this day miss him and talk to him all the time. I now have 2 kids a 5yr old girl and a 3yr old boy. But that does not mean I don't think about my other baby's that did not make it because I do. I have a mother's ring with my kids birthstone's in it even Jerry JR's birthstone is in it. I just felt as if I had to write this to let the people who have recently lost their baby, miscarriage, stillborn, or even neonatal death that you will smile again, maybe not as much as if your baby was here but you will be able to cope. Don't try to just forget about it or ignore it because it will always come back. Just face it with a smile. Your baby is in a great place even though your place is great too the place they are in now they have the most best person watching over them. So let them know that you miss them but you understand that they didn't want to leave such a great place and that you are not angry at them for that. And I pray for all of you who are wanting to have another child and are having a hard time. I finally got 2 great kids here on earth and 4 in heaven and just be patient because the lord will bless you. I am sorry I don't have more comforting words to say to those who have just lost their baby's but just stay strong, you will get by you will. You can email me at dizmoliz@aol.com I would love to talk to you. May god bless you.
