my son, Kenny was born, still on August 4th 2007. I still love and miss him dearly.

We gave birth to our stillborn daughter, Avery, on February 19th. We did get to spend some time with our beautiful angel, but we miss her so much our hearts are aching. She was our first baby and she is so dearly loved.

On Oct. 21, 2009 my wife and I lost our baby son; stillborn at 32 weeks. He had a condition known as Trisomy 13. As heartbreaking and sad this is, it is our second precious little one we've lost in two years. We lost a daughter in 2007, born at about 31 weeks and lived 1/2 and hour. She had severe kidney issues, among other things.

Having buried two of my children is really starting to weigh heavy on me. Somedays I wish I could just stay in bed.

GGGRRRR...sorry I needed it. I lost my daughter Bella stillborn at 27 weeks Feb 2nd 2009. She had a heart problem and only had one side of her heart and was going to need surgery once she was born. I can't help but feel like I have NO ONE to talk to. The one friend I could talk with is now pregnant. I thought she was a safe place for me because the doctor had said her husband was infertile. My husband is really supportive but when I want to talk about things he makes a joke or won't talk at all. I really need someone who has been in my shoes to talk with, hang out with, laugh or cry with. Just a tough day today I guess.

I just need a safe place to vent today. It's been just over six weeks since my baby girl was born/died. And it sucks that I am getting coupons in the mail for baby things. It sucks that I am babysitting for my friend who just had an alive baby. It sucks that I have a cold and I don't feel well, physically and emotionally. It sucks that I can't talk to my friends and family about how I feel right now. It sucks that I have to hurt so much. It sucks that everywhere I look I see beautiful baby girls.
I think I am ready to come to a support group.

I lost my son Bryan Somsack Keosombath Jr, I went into preterm labor at 25 weeks pregnant. He was born May 22, 2009 @8:22am and passed May 22, 2009 @3:52 pm. He weighed 1 lb 11 oz and was 13 in long and so beautiful and so wanted by his father and I. It has been the hardest thing we have ever gone through. My heart goes out to everyone who has dealt with the loss of a baby.

Almost three weeks ago i lost my baby boy, Zachary Melvin Higgins. He was 10 onces and 10 inches long. He did live for 2 minutes after birth.

My beloved and sweet baby girl Elsa was stillborn two weeks ago. I am aching for her. She was 8 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long. So beautiful.

quiero dejarles mis saludos desde palermo, buenos aires... mucha suerte

I have been trying to work up the courage to come to a meeting. I am too scared. I know that I need to go though. It has been almost 5 year since Payton passed away and I think it is time that I came to talk about her...

Over the last four years I have lost three pregnancies , two ectopic one miscarriage.The last was about six weeks ago and resulted in the removal of both fallopian tubes.My husband and I will probably never get to be parents and that is a horrible feeling.I feel defective,like less of a woman. I feel like no one understands what i am going through. I know my husband loves me and does not blame me,but i feel so guilty.

Greetings,
I am deeply sorry that you have experienced the death of your precious child. I know it hurts so much! Like yourselves, I have been there - having to say my earthly goodbyes to two of my sons, Joey (age 5) back in 1988 and in 1992, to our other son, Danny (age 4). Walking through my pain of grief - there continues to be such a growing passion and desire to reach out to other bereaved parents - to listen, to simply be there for others. I know that this day, can especially be painful for you Mothers, who would want so much to have your dear child with you... Take care...Sincerely, Raymond

Our good friends, the Schulfer family, lost their baby in May of 2006. I would like to send out a prayer for their family as well as any family reading this.
To Draimen "Sassy"- A little tribute, small and tender,
Just to say we still remember.

We lost our 1yr old daughter Ella on March 30th, the pain is so intense just breathing is painful, we have 4 other children who are also grieving in different ways and we are all such a mess, we need prayer, looking for a support group, but hard to find, if only we could go back in time and somehow prevent it....

I lost my dear little Analiese at 29 days old due to SIDS on March 13th, 2009. I know that there are others out there who have suffered more than I but I have never experienced so much pain in my whole life. I have another little girl who is 5. I am very blessed to have her, but I so miss my baby.

I am 8 weeks post ectopic. My husband and I are grieving very differently. I am at times very saddened by the loss while he has been ready to move forward and doesn't understand what I have been going through. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Brief Encounters Guestbook.

Bereaved parents and their families are encouraged to share their stories, discuss issues that arise around pregnancy and infant loss, and remember their children.

Through talking or just listening, we learn what grief is and how, through understanding and caring, we heal.
