[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guy here. We lost our stillborn baby girl at 23 1/2 weeks due to infection. Even though we have a healthy baby 15 months later, I still think about her from time to time. I always wonder what it is like to see her growing up and am still sad about not having that opportunity.

Before that experience, I did not think anything bad would happen to us or our children. It did, and I'm worried and scared more now when something happens to our children (sick, allergic reaction, etc.). I try not taking things for granted  and enjoying my time with them.

Our daughter's preschool teacher who also had lost a stillborn baby long time ago told us that the pain might go away but we will never forget.
We always remember our precious daughter.

It’s OP - I am so sorry that you lost your daughter. It’s tremendous pain and we never forget our beautiful daughters and sons. I love that you posted here, as a guy and dad! The pain you feel as a father is so different because you probably feel helpless. As equal as genders are supposed to be in these times...you are a man and father, essentially a protector. I say this because this is how my DH (husband) felt. Helpless because he could not do anything to prevent it. And worse because you have to deal with your own grief and continue to protect your significant other’s heart while she’s dealing with her emotional and physical pain. You said you lost DD some time ago, but maybe no one ever put your feelings into perspective. I hope that I helped a little. As far as going forward, yup it’s makes us very in tune to keeping our kids safe and healthy. Not that others do not. We’re hypervigilent because we just are. Can’t really explain it. You keep doing you (dad)! Your kids are so lucky to have you! Hopefully, you’ll be able to help another father who finds the need to come here. Peace, good health and happiness to you and you family.[/quote]
