Holidays

My heart is so broken. I don't feel like I will ever know "normal" again. I'm sure that people think we have all recovered by now, but I haven't. I look forward to and dread the holidays. I found out I was preganant with Sage on Thanksgiving day. I have always loved that holiday. I love cooking for my family, I love that it celebrates all the wonderful blessings we have in our lives and now it is a reminder of what I have lost.

    Our son, Alexander, was born just prior to Thanksgiving and last year, the holidays were really tough, especially because we lost his twin siblings in early 2008. I know this year, they will be too. We just try to pray and take it one day at a time.
    Thinking of you...

    Dear Laura,

    I am so very so sorry for the loss of your baby boy. The Holidays are always so tough.... so many reminders, so many "what should have been's".

    Laura, I haven't been through too many holidays yet since losing my Carleigh. We received her fatal diagnosis at 22 1/2 wks and she was born still at 37 wks on March 28, 2009. Holidays are a wonderful time for family but it they are also huge reminders of what is missing, our sweet babies.

    My heart hurts with you. My Jenna Belle was born on May 5 and died in the NICU 13 days later. This is our first holiday season without her too. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find the comfort you need through this difficult time. If you have a chance, feel free to request a Hope Collage for your precious Sage at www.hopecollage.org

    Love to the sky,
