re: Words Of Encouragement.

Two months is too little.
They let him go.
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence would
Take a child from his mother while she prays
Is appalling.

Who told us we'd be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We're asking why this happens
To us who have died to live?
It's unfair.

[Chorus:]
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.

This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred know our sorrow.
The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.

If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning.
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we'd be held.

Quoting trinimama:“ Hi I have a question to you all What do you tell a friend who has just lost their baby? My close friend ... [snip!] ... new addition Gosh I'm crying again How do you show that you're there for them but at the same time dont want to smother them??”

just let her know your there for her.

im sorry for your friends loss

..........

to my undead
those left behind by the shadows
a kiss from the grave
to wipe your subtle tears
a rose by your bed side
to comfort you at night
you are still my beloved
tears do not wash away the pain
but they soothe it
wailing does not stop the agony
but it comforts it
take heart my love
i depart from you not in vain
i wish a way to kill the sorrow
that although i live in your memory
i bring you not pain but joy
for your pain is my pain
i cannot rest while you cry
so smile a while my love
that i may see you
that death may make meaning to me
and i can once again be your bringer of joy
and not your provider of sorrow

Quoting Hoping*for*a*girl:“ the "what makes a mother" poem makes me tear up every time”

Thats my favorite.
It made me feel like a mother.

This is a poem that someone sent me when I miscarried:
"I'll Be There"
Daddy please don't look so sad,
Momma please don't cry,
Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and
He sings me lullabies.
Please try not to question God,
Don't think He is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you,
And then He changed His mind.
You see, I am a Special Child,
And I am needed up above,
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
The product of your love.
I'll always be there with you,
And watch the sky at night
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light
You'll see me in the morning frost,
That mists your windowpane.
That's me, in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a gentle breeze,
From a gentle wind that blows,
That's me, I'll be there, Planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
And your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there, giving your heart a hug.
So, daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mommy don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus,
and He sings me lullabies.

And this is a song that I love 'Held' by Natalie Grant:

"Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain".

WEll I wrote this myself to help me grief:

Mommy's little Angel
way up in the sky
I'll always remember
the day that you died

You were born sleeping
which makes my heart ache each day
my soul yells out weeping
Since the day god took you away

The first time I saw you
I couldn't believe my eyes
A beautiful baby girl
why did you have to die

I should have took the chance
to hold you close to me
A tiny baby so precious
How the hell could this be?

With you no longer inside of me
Your presence I will miss
No more watching my belly grow
No longer will you kick

All I have left of you
Is a tiny little box
That holds all the memories
and pictures that say a lot

I know I have to wipe my tears
and look up to the sky
Remembering that you are always here
right by my side, Until the day I die

Mommy's little Angel
way up in the sky
I'll always remember
the day that you died
-Katherine


I also Love love Goodbye by Mariah CArey

We were in the car a little over a week after my daughter died and I was think about what happened and at the time the last thing I wanted to do was think about anything so i turn the radio on and went to change the station and the radio was acting funny. It scaned through 12 different stations and didnt pick any of them up then it landed on 95.5 and I heard a song that I had never heard before. That day when I got home I ran to my computer to download it. I feel that it was a sign from Caydence just her special way of telling me that she is ok.
The song is called Sissy's song by Alan Jackson:

"Sissy's Song"

Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
They'll always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me

For those of you who have lost an angel, I hope this will help you get through it a bit easier. I know how hard it is...My husband and I got married in February. Found out we were pregnant shortly after. We were ecstatic!!! At seven weeks pregnant, my little angel went to heaven... It was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through... I miscarried on April 4 2009. We waited until my first regular period aand hoped for the best in our attempts to get pregnant again. Today is May 24th 2009 and we just found out we are pregnant again!!! I'm scared but very happy!!! Good luck to all of you! Just have faith in God and he will give you another little angel...but trust me all the little angels in heaven will never be forgotten...
