Our Star, Our Baby
Sep 14, 2002
On Sept. 2, my husband and I lost our baby; we were 7 weeks along. I have been reading articles through Silentgrief.com, which have helped to understand and accept that I am not alone. Though we are surrounded by loved ones and genuine concern and caring, there is a silent whisper every day that tells me I lost my baby. It will be two weeks on Monday, and I miss being pregnant. I miss thinking about what my baby will look like and dreaming about April 25th, my due date.
What matters to us is that we had a child. We were parents and loved our little one as if we had the blessing of having it in our lives for years! Deep down, I feel as if we will have that moment again, and pray each day for that miracle. Strangly, I do not feel bitterness or anger, just sadness for the loss of our child. I think this helps me to move on and hope.
We have decided to use a star of the Big Dipper as our reminder of our baby...that way, each night we know exactly where to look to be close with what we have lost....
