My baby died one year ago today...

[Anonymous]

Lost my DS at 5 months earlier this year...his due date is around the corner. The sadness is nipping at my heels. I know it's going to be a long, bad day.

I think many people in our lives don't want to say anything for fear of upsetting you. As if we had forgotten it and someone else mentioning it will suddenly remind us. So, sometimes it's up to us to remind the people in our lives we need support. It sucks and having to make the effort when you are in such a bad place just isn't fair. But as we have learned...life just isn't fair.

I'm so sorry you lost Lena. I know she is well loved and very much missed. I will think about her and keep you in my thoughts.

I'm sorry, OP. My son was stillborn 9 years ago, and that is still one of the things that bothers me. I have one friend who sends me a note every year, and I am forever grateful to her. Even my mother doesn't remember the day he was born.

Please know I am thinking of you and your daughter tonight. I am so sorry your family and friends haven't reached out to you. You will always be her mother, even though she isn't here with you <3

I'm sorry for your loss.

Lost DS (stillborn) nearly 8 years ago and it is really difficult that most people do not either know how to or don't have the emotional vocabulary or don't want to acknowledge this type of loss (particularly my mom!) Therapist (who lost a grandchild) early on recommended creating a yearly ritual with DH. Lighting candles, letting go of balloons, planting a tree or flowers or having a special 'stone' --go somewhere special to go.
