dont know why..

I dont know why I'm doing this. I'm a glutton for punishment. Or maybe misery loves company. I'm looking at memorial baby pictures. I found a little boy who died at 37 weeks, the exact same day as Kathlyn, 7/30/09. So sad. And I found what might be the saddest picture I have ever seen in my life... a woman holding her six little boys (sextuplets), the photo is titled "me and my angels" and she's crying. That photo says it was added 7/30/09.

    I do the same things. I look at pictures of twins and wonder and sob at what could have been. Sometimes I want to ask other mother's of twins things, like how do they do bath time, or how do they feed them, different things like so I would know how to do it.

    I used to do the same thing. I did not lose my son (thankfully) so I can not say i understand the pain you are going through but we did come close to losing him and afterwards i had a hard time dealing with it. i used to read stories of other traumatic births and of mothers who lost their Little Ones. I would cry for them. It was torture but at the same time it helped me heal. I think our society likes to sweep death under the rug and dont we deserve to all have our story heard? I like to think that all of us mothers are somewhat connected and reading each others stories and crying for one another is just another form of support. those babies may not be with us but they are never forgotten and neither are the mothers having to grieve.

    dead baby pictures are so powerful. they're so beautiful, yet so heartbreaking at the same time. i am thankfully at a point where i can look at ella's picture and smile and talk to her. xoxo

    This is our normal, Beth. We only have other lost little ones to compare ours too and as sad as it is there is so much beauty in knowing we are not alone and that there are others babies out there that are as beautiful as ours. I do it too.

    I also do the same thing, not sure why either. It makes me sad but I love to take a moment to acknowledge all the little angels and hold their mommy's close to my heart. I understand their pain. God bless you.

    I do that too and I always feel so sad when I see one because I know exactly how that family is feeling. Breaks my heart. XO
